THE Righteous Mans Excellency.
Prov. 12. 26. The Righteous is more excellent than his Neighbour.
Solomon was a man of Renown, he was the World's wonder; he discoursed of trees from the Cedar-tree in Lebanon unto the Hyssop that springeth out of the wall*. The Proverbs are profound and holy Aphorisms, indited by the Spirit of God, and penned by him who was both a King and a Preacher. A great part of this Book is to set forth the difference between the godly and ⟨p. 2⟩the wicked; the happiness of the one, and the misery of the other. The Text is spoken in the elogium and commendation of a righteous man. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour.
