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…

The Lord hath hypocritical dissemblers in detestation. The Doct. 1 Prophet David maketh mention of such, Psal. 28. 3. 4. Draw ¹me not away with the workers of iniquity, which speak friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts. Reward them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. His earnest prayer to God is to escape their hands; for they were very subtle, and ready to take him; and very cruel and violent if he should come into their clutches. Their ⟨p. 94⟩trade and occupation was to work iniquity, and therefore also their wages, and hire shall be destruction. By all which circumstances it manifestly appeareth, that there is enmity between God and them.
