A plain and familiar exposition of the eleventh and twelfth chapters of the Proverbs…A plaine and familiar exposition of the eleuenth and twelfth chapters of the Prouerbes…

When the Lord himself is asked what manner of men should ⟨p. 5⟩dwell in his tabernacle, and rest in his holy mountain, that is, which should have a good estate here, and an habitation for evermore in heaven, he describeth them by their innocent, and harmless behaviour towards their brethren. He that walketh uprightly, and ¹worketh righteously, and speaketh the trueth in his heart. He, certainly, regardeth that work which he so largely rewardeth with such wages: and he is well pleased with that person in this life, whom he will receive to life everlasting: and equal it is with him, that they which converse with earthly people in righteousness, should also continue with heavenly saints in glory.

When the Lord himselfe is asked what manner of men should ⟨p. 5⟩dwell in his tabernacle, and rest in his holy mountaine, that is, which should haue a good estate here, and an habitation for euermore in heauen, he describeth them by their innocent, and harmelesse behauiour towards their brethren. Hee that walketh vprightly, and ¹worketh righteouslie, and speaketh the trueth in his heart. Hee, certenlie, regardeth that worke which hee so largely rewardeth with such wages: and hee is well pleased with that person in this life, whom he will receiue to life euerlasting: and equall it is with him, that they which conuerse with earthly people in righteousnesse, should also continue with heauenlie saints in glory.
