A plain and familiar exposition of the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Proverbs…A plaine and familiar exposition of the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Prouerbs…

Instruction to try what uprightness is in our hearts, by our love or righteous men for righteousness sake. Whosoever doth §2truly detest iniquity, will lovingly embrace the company of them that be enemies unto it, and all that soundly set their affections on goodness will estrange themselves from them that walk in wickedness. David built his comfort upon the firmness of this groundwork, when he said for the assurance of his fidelity towards God that all his delight was in the saints that were in ¹the earth and in the excellent. And when he appealed to the lords own testimony of his holy zeal, saying, Do not I hate them O Lord, that hate thee? and do not I earnestly contend with those that ²rise up against thee? I hate them with an unfeigned hatred, as they were mine utter enemies.
