Proverbs30:32

Verſ. 32. Lay thy hand upon thy mouth] That is, better bethink thy ſelf, commune with thine own heart, and be ſtill. Repent thee, as Job did in like caſe, chap. 39.37, 38. Quem paenitet peccaſſe, penè eſt innocens. Senec. Agram. It is not the falling into the water that drowns one, but the lying in it.
