Use To dwell amongst ill neighbours is a dangerous thing, and we should take heed of it. I remember a Commentator upon this place, upon this occasion makes a grave exhortation to men, that when they are to hire Houses and Farms they should enquire what neighbours were to be near them, and to take heed of dwelling nigh unto wicked men, for saith he, when God• judgments come out against them you may smart, you being so near them they may find you at least. I have often read of Themistocles 1a Heathen, that having a Farm to let (and their way was to publish it at the Marketplace) and ⟨p. 445⟩he added, there is such a place to let, and there are good neighbours, thinking it were more comfortable for men to live near those that are good than those that are wicked.
