Proverbs6:28
Verſ. 28. Can one go upon hot coals?] Similitudes are never ſet out to confirm or confute, but to adorn and illuſtrate, giving unto their matter a certain kinde of lively geſture, and ſtirring up thereby mens drowſie mindes to the conſideration and acknowlegement of the truth, and to the purſute and practice of vertue and godlineſs. Of the great uſe of Similes, wee may read in Chryſoſt. Hom. in Gen. 13. Origen in Levit. 10. Auguſt. de doctrina Chriſt. lib. 2. Greg. Moral. lib. 3. cap. 36. &c.
