2. David like a wise man, sees this with his eye, & ponders it with his heart. A wise memento for al mē: quod cuiquā cuivis, that which may come to all men, may come to every man, and mansion upon earth. It is the point of a wise man to observe the passages of honours & honourable personages in the world, and it will make him to say, No• a•tum sap•re sed time, be not high minded but fear, Rom: 11. As they have been, so I may be. As David the father had these eyes, so also had Solomon his son, Preu: 24 30. I passed (saith he) by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man destitute of understanding. 31. And lo• it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof and the stone wall was broken down 32. And I behold, and considered it well: I looked upon it and received instruction. Happy are they that have such eyes.
