John Trapp on Proverbs 3:31

Verſ. 31. Envy not the oppreſſor] That grows rich by unjuſt quarrels and vexatious Law-ſutes. It is not for nothing ſurely that our Saviour, Luke 12.15. after, Who made mee a Judge? adds, Take heed and beware of covetouſneſs: Implying, that moſt men go to Law with a covetous o[illegible: 1 letter] a vindictive mind: whereas if they will needs wage Law, they ſhould do it as Charles the French King made war with our Henry the ſeventh, more deſiring peace, than profit or victory. It ſhould bee with men in this caſe, as it was with St. Auſtin and Hierom in their Diſputations; It was no matter who gained the day, they would both win by underſtanding their errours.
