John Trapp on Proverbs 29:26

Verſ. 26. Many ſeek the Rulers favour] More than the love of God: and ſo caſt themſelves into a ſecond ſnare, beſides that, verſ. 25. But as he that truly truſts in God, will eaſily expel the fear of man: ſo he that looks upon God as Judge of all, from whoſe ſentence there is no appeal, will rather ſeek his face than the favour of any earthly Judge whatſoever. Eſpecially, ſince whether the Judge clear him or caſt him, the judgement he paſſeth is from the Lord.
