Psalms112:5
Verſ. 5. A good man ſheweth favour and lendeth] A publick-ſpirited man, Rom. 5.7. maketh his moderation to be known to all men, Philip. 4.5. and lendeth, looking for nothing again, Luk. 6.35. Thence it is that to him light ariſeth in darkneſs; the merciful ſhall have mercy, Mat. 5.7. Some render it, Bene vire qui miſeratur, Well is the man, or, Well will it be with the man that pittieth and lendeth. The Hebrew hath it, That is pittying and lending, ever in ſuch actions.
He will guide his affairs with diſcretion] Heb. With judgement; neither illiberal not prodigal, not withered handed when he ſhould give, nor yet ſtretching beyond the ſtaple; for that were to ſpoyl all. Tremellius rendreth it, Moderatur res ſuas, ex officio.
