Proverbs28:7
Verſ. 7. He that keepeth the law, is a wiſe ſon] It is neither good nature, nor good nurture, or breeding that can prove a man to be truly wiſe: but obedience to Gods ſtatutes, Deut. 4.6. Alphonſus King of Spain, ſirnamed the Wiſe, was a rank fool, and an arrant Atheiſt: ſo are all the worlds Wiſards.
But he that is a companion to riotous men] Or, that feedeth gluttons, whoſe belly hath no bottom.
Ingluvies & tempeſtas, barathrumque macelli.
They ſay the Locuſt is all belly, which is joyned to his mouth, and endeth at his tail, ſuch are riotous belly-gods: to feed ſuch, is to caſt away all and bring an indeleble infamy upon the family.
