John Trapp on Proverbs 4:25

Verſ. 25. Let thine eyes look right on] E regione, vel in rectum, Let them be fixt upon right objects. Get that Stoical eye of our Saviour, get a Patriarks eye, bee well skilled in Moſes his Opticks, Heb. 11.27. have oculum in metam, which was Ludovicus Vives his Motto. Do as Mariners, that have their eye on the Star, their hand on the Stern. A man may not look intently upon that that hee may not love.Mat. 24.2. The Diſciples were ſet a gogge by beholding the beauty of the Temple. If therefore thine eye offend thee (or cauſe thee to offend) pull it out of the old Adam, and ſet it in the new man. If thou uſe it not well, thou wilt wiſh that thou hadſt pull'd it out indeed, as Democritus did.
