John Trapp on Proverbs 3:13

Verſ. 13. Happy is the man] Though afflicted, if withall inſtructed, Si vexatio det intellectum. Bought wit is ever beſt prized. Bleſſed is the man whom thou chaſteneſt, O Lord, and thereby reachest him out of thy Law, Pſal. 94.12. Schola crucis, ſchola lucis. Gods houſe of correction, is his School of inſtruction. See my Love-tokens, p. 145, 146. &c.

And the man that getteth underſtanding] Heb. That draweth out underſtanding, viz. de theſauro ſuo, out of the good treaſure of his heart, as that good Scribe inſtructed to the Kingdome of Heaven. The Chaldee hath it, ja[illegible: 1 letter]iang, Matth. 13.5[illegible: 1 letter]. ſcaturire facit, that hath ſo profited in ſpiritual underſtanding, that hee can readily bring it forth to the benefit of others.
