Proverbs9:13
Verſ. 13. A fooliſh woman is clamorous] This woman is Folly, as that woman ſitting in the Epah is wickedneſs, Zach. 5.7. Lavater is of opinion, that as by Wiſdome is meant Chriſt, ſo by this fooliſh woman here is meant Antichriſt; to whom therefore hee finely fitteth and applieth all the following words.
Is clamorous] Folly is full of words, and of a laviſh tongue: her factours are extreme talkative, and uſually lay on more words than the matter will bear: A great deal of ſmall talk you ſhall uſually have from them. A fool alſo is full of words, Eccleſ. 10.14 ſaith Solomon, and this fond cuſtome of his is there expreſſed by way of imitation, in his vain tautologies: A man cannot tell what ſhall bee; and what ſhall bee after him who can tell? Eccleſ. 10.24. The baſeſt things are ever the moſt plentiful. Some kinde of Mice breed a hundred and twenty young ones in one neſt; whereas the Lion and Elephant bear but one at once; ſo the leaſt wit yeelds the moſt words. Ariſtophanes and Lucian, when they deſcribe fools, they call them [non-Latin text not transcribed], Gapers, or Open-mouthed. Guiltineſs is ever clamorous, and the moſt lewd are moſt loud, Act. 7.27, 28.
