Proverbs6:16

Verſ. 16. Theſe ſix things doth the Lord hate] That is, hee deteſteth, damneth, puniſheth them in the ſluggard, whoſe ſoul is the ſink of all theſe enſuing evils. Where note, That ſin makes wicked men the object of Gods hatred, the Saints of his pitty: As wee hate poiſon in a Toad, but wee pitty it in a man: in the one, it is their nature, in the other, their diſeaſe.

Yea ſeven are an abomination to him] Or, That ſeventh his ſoul abhorreth, that ſowing of diſcord among brethren heightneth and compleateth his hatred of the reſt.Septimum abominatio anima illius.
