Proverbs31:11

Verſ. 11. The heart of her husband doth ſafely truſt in her] Hee is confident of her love, care, and fidelity: he dare truſt her with his ſoul-ſecrets, &c. hee doubteth not of her chaſtity, ſecreſie, or care to keep his family.

So that he ſhall have no need of ſpoyl] i. e. of neceſſary commodities: for theſe ſhe will provide as plentifully by her induſtry, as if ſhe had ſhared in the ſpoyls of a ſackt and ranſackt City. The Turks, when they took Conſtantinople, were ſo enriched,Turk. Hiſt. fol. 347. that it is a Proverb amongſt them at this day, if any grow ſuddenly rich, to ſay, He hath been at the ſacking of Conſtantinople.
