A plain and familiar exposition of the ninth and tenth chapters of the Proverbs…A plaine and familiar exposition of the ninth and tenth chapters of the Prouerbs…

Ignorant persons that regard not knowledge are the sittest Doct. pray for deceivers. Ephe. 4. 14. The Apostle in the Epistle to ¹the Ephesians persuading them to knowledge, showeth the great need thereof; That we henceforth be no more children, wavering, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the deceit, or dice of men. Wherein he declareth the dangerous case of such as want understanding by two similitudes: one comparing them to little children, and the false teachers to crafty gamesters, that use to cog at dice, who can easily beguile a young boy, and strip him of all that he playeth for, though his whole inheritance lye upon the game. The other comparing them to ships, that neither have anchor to hold them, nor stern, and pilot to guide them, and therefore the tides, & tempests do drive them every way without resistance.
