John Trapp on Psalms 14:6

Verſ. 6. You have ſhamed the counſel of the poor] And thought to mock him out of his confidence, as Sennacherib did by Hezekiah, and the Jews by our Saviour. Religion was long ſince grown, as it is alſo at this day among many, not more a matter of form, than of ſcorn. In our wretched days, as the Turks count all fools to be Saints, ſo many with us account all Saints to be fools. He is a fool, we ſay, that would be laughed out of his Coat; but he were a double fool that would bee laughed out of his skin, that would hazard his Soul, becauſe loath to bee laughed at.

Becauſe the Lord is his refuge] Sed Jehovah Protector ejus, becauſe he runs to God by prayer, and commits himſelf wholly to him for direction and ſucceſs in all his enterpriſes; Pudefacitis, id eſt, facitis ut videatur putidum, you'jeer, and hold it an egregious ſillineſs. You reject his confidence, and relye on the arm of fleſh; which yet was never true to thoſe that truſted unto it.
