Proverbs6:10
Verſ. 10. Yet a little ſleep] Heb. Sleeps, ſo ſlumbers, Though hee ſpeaks in the plural, and would have much, yet all is but a little in his pretence and conceit. Hee asks a little, but hee will not bee denied:Auguſtin. Sed finite panlulum ibit in longum. Firſt, hee muſt have ſleep, having ſlept, hee muſt have ſlumbers; (ſleep will not quickly bee rubed out of his eyes) having ſlumbered, hee muſt fold his hands. Compreſſis ſedere manibus, to fit with hands folded up,Liv. lib. 7. is uſed by the Latines in a like ſenſe.) Hee tumbles on his bed, as a door on the hinges, Prov. 16.14. a man muſt come with a lever to help him off his Couch.
