This Book of the Proverbs, by the consent of the judgement of all that have written upon it, is like an enclosed piece of ground; every particular sentence carrying with it (as it were) a full and complete sense of it self, each Verse being taken in, (as I may so say) from all the bordering parts of this Scripture, either going before or coming after it, having neither coherence, nor dependence upon any, but carrying in it self a full and entire sense; and therefore I shall spare the making of any kind of entrance, by showing any dependence of this Scripture, which I have now read, with that which goeth before it, but saving that labour we will come presently and particularly to the words in hand.
