Proverbs 25

^{1 a} Whome Hezekiah appointed for this purpose.

^{1 b} That is, gathered out of diuers bokes of Salomon.

^{2 c} God doeth not reueile the cause of his judgements to man.

^{2 d} Because the King ruleth by the reueiled worde of God, the cause of his doings must appeare, & therefore he must vse diligence in trying out of causes.

^{3 e} He sheweth that it is to hard for man to atteine to the reason of all the secret doings of the King: euen when he is vpright, & doeth his duetie.

^{4 f} When vice is remoued from a King, he is a mete vessel for the Lords vse.

^{5 g} It is not ynough that he be pure him self, but that he put away others that be corrupted.

^{10 h} Lest whereas thou thinkest by this meanes to haue an end of the matter, it put thee to farther trouble.

^{13 i} In the time of great heat when men desire colde.

^{14 k} Which haue an outward appearance, and are nothing within.

^{15 l} By not ministring occasion to prouoke him farther.

^{15 m} That is, the heart that is bent to angre, as {Chap 15, 1}

^{16 n} Vse moderatly the pleasures of this worlde.

^{20 o} Which melteth it, and consumeth it.

^{20 /} Or, alume.

^{22 p} Thou shalt as it were by force ouercome him, in so muche that his owne conscience shal moue him to acknowledge thy benefites, and his heart shalbe inflamed.

^{28 q} And so is in extreme danger.
