John Trapp on Proverbs 30:22-23

Verſ. 22. For a ſervant when he reigneth] As Jeroboam, Saul, Zimri, Herod, Heliogabalus, Phocas. See the Note on chap. 19.10. Veſpaſian only of all the Emperours, is ſaid to have been better for his advancement.

For a fool when he is filled with meat] When his belly is filled with Gods hid treaſure, Pſal 17.14. when he proſpers and hath what he will. Proſperity is hard meat to fools,Luxuriant animi rebus plerunque ſecundis. Ovid. they cannot digeſt it. They grow giddy (as weak heads doe after a cup of generous wine) and lay about them like mad-men: the folly of theſe rich fools, is fooliſhneſſe with a witneſſe, Prov. 14.24. See the Note there.

1 Sam. 1.6.Verſ. 23. For an odious woman when ſhe is married] Such an one was Peninnah, who vexed good Hannah, to make her to thunder, as the Original hath it. Such was Jeſabel, Herodias, Meſſalina Wife to the Emperour Claudius, who was her Agent to effect her ſinful purpoſes, and her Patient to ſuſtain her lewd conditions.Dio in Claudio. She compelled alſo other Roman Ladies to bee as lewd as her ſelf, and thoſe that would not, ſhe hated, and baniſhed them from the Court

And an hand-maid that is heir to her miſtris] That ſucceeds her in the Marriage-bed: her good and her bloud will riſe together, as we ſee in Hagar. Hence that counſel of the Greek Poet: [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Never make thy Maid thy Miſtreſſe.

Such Hens will bee apt to crow, ſuch Wives to breed diſturbance in the Family.
