John Trapp on Proverbs 8:3

Verſ. 3. At the entry of the City] Heb. At the mouth; for as words go out of the mouth,Rod. Bain. ſo do men out of the City; onely men go and come at their pleaſure, Sed volat emiſſum ſemel irrevocabile verbum. A word once uttered cannot bee recalled.

At the coming in at the doors] Every where Chriſt offereth himſelf; hence ariſeth this phraſe, My ſalvation is gone forth, but to little purpoſe, through mens ſingular perverſneſs. Indeed if the Lord would ſet up a Pulpit at the Ale-houſe door, they would hear oftner. But ſith hee doth not, they will run to hell as faſt as they can; And if God cannot catch them, they care not, they will not return.
