Proverbs8:18
Verſ. 18. Riches and honour are with mee] I come not unaccompanied, but bring with mee that which is well worth having. The Muſes (though Jupiters daughters, and well deſerving) yet are ſaid to have had no Suters, becauſe they had no portions. Our Henry the eighth, when hee dyed,Engl. Eliſ. gave his two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, but ten thouſand pounds apeece. But this Lady is largely endowed, and yet (ſuch is mens dulneſs) ſhee is put to ſollicit Suters, by ſetting forth her great wealth. See the Note on Matth. 6.33.
