SOLOMON'S PROVERBS English and Latin Alphabetically Collected for help of Memory In English by H. D. And since made Latin by S. Perkins late School 〈◊〉 of Christ-Church-Hospital Fitted for the Use of Schools Eccles 12.9 The Preacher was wise he taught the People Knowledge yea he gave good heed and sought out and set in order many Proverbs 1 Kings 4.30 31 32. And Solomon's Wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the Children of the East c. For he was wiser than all the Men c. And he spake three thousand Proverbs c. Prov. 4.7 Wisdom is the Principal thing therefore get Wisdom and with all thy gettings get Understanding The Fifth Edition London Printed for William Redmayne and are to be sold by Hen. Mortlock at the Phoenix in St. Paul's Church-yard 1681. To the READER IT is said of Solomon so much commended for WISDOM 1 Kings 4.29 c. That God gave him wisdom and understanding exceeding much and largeness of heart even as the sand that is on the Sea-Shore And that his wisdom excelled the wisdom of the Children of the East-Country and all the wisdom of Egypt And that he was wiser than all men c. And that his fame was in all Nations round about Which admirable wisdom of his seemed chiefly to consist in his Proverbs Who spake as Vers 32. three thousand Proverbs compared with Eccl. 12.9 The Preacher was wise he still taught the people knowledge yea he gave good heed and sought out and set in order many Proverbs 1. The nature of a Proverb For the Nature of them in general They are short wise Sentences containing much in a little The Hebrew word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 (a) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 similitudo parabola proverbium sententia citè graviter que dicta paucis concinnata Bux Lex signifies as Buxt an excellent Speech Sentence Parable or Similitude acutely and weightily spoke and comprized in few words The Greek words (b) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Proverbium Adagium Ep. 222.

Similitudo Heb. 11.11 Pas Lex 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vel 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Pasor renders them import much the same viz. short Sentences sometimes comparatively delivered called by Greek Writers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Axioms or worthy sayings and by the Latins Adagia Adagies short Sentences In the Scripture sometimes called The sayings of the Antients 1 Sam. 24.13 because delivered by the wise ancient Fathers or Elders and therefore Prov. 1.6 called The words of the wise and sometimes The sayings of old 2 Sam. 20.18 Psal 78.2 because the approbation and consent of Ages went to make them the usuage of a Nation being brought by Custom and Tradition to every mouth 2. The Vse of a Proverb Proverbs we find are variously laid down and used in Scripture sometimes by way of Comparison or Similitude 1. Comparatively which doth greatly illustrate as Prov. 26.9 As a Thorn goeth up into the haend of a Drunkard so is a Parable in the mouth of Fools And vers 11. As a Dog returneth to his vomit so a Fool returneth to his folly Ver. 14. As a Door turneth upon his Hinges so doth the slothful man upon his Bed Be wise as Serpents and harmless as Doves Mat. 10.16 The difference betwixt a Proverb and a Parable And the only difference betwixt this sort of Proverbs and Parables is That one is a large similitude the other a short one A Parable is a long Proverb and a Proverb a short Parable being in Scripture therefore called both by one name sometimes the Parable called Proverb and the Proverb called Parable Mat. 15.15 Our Saviour delighted so much in this kind of speaking that he is said not to have spoke without them Mat. 13.34 2. Obscurely Sometimes in an obscure or aenigmatick way of speaking and therefore called Prov. 1.6 The words of the wise and their dark sayings And Psal 87.2 Dark sayings of old which our Saviour therefore usually explained as not being understood many times by his Auditors as John 10.6 Mat. 15.11 15 16 17 ver Mar. 13.11 And therefore it is said to him upon his explanation John 16.26 Now speakest thou plainly and speakest no Proverb opposing plain speaking to proverbial or Paribolical Sometimes again in a plain familiar stile 3. Plainly easie to be understood of all containing short pithy sententious Doctrines either for instruction exhortation admonition or reproof And of this kind are most of Solomon's and indeed most we meet with in the Scriptures as such as these The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom Above all gettings get understanding Fools make a mock of sin Man lives not by bread alone Evil communication corrupts good manners c. 3. The End of a Proverb The end of a Proverb is for information of the mind and reformation of the manners and best exprest by Solomon himself in his own words Prov. 1.2 3. To know Wisdom and Instruction to perceive the words of Vnderstanding to receive the Instruction of Wisdom Justice Judgment and Equity And this Universally to all sorts degrees age and sexes young and old poor and rich learned and unlearned foolish and wise therefore vers 45. To give subtility to the simple to the young man knowledg and discretion To the wise and understanding increase of learning and the attaining to wise Counsels to the understanding of a Proverb or an eloquent Speech as the Margent the words of the Wise and their dark Sayings It is said the wisdom of the Ancient Grecians that wise and understanding Nation consisted much in their Proverbs and to this day they are accounted the best evidence of the Wisdom of a Nation whereof Collections are generally made and Records usually kept 4. The Order of Solomon's Proverbs As for the Order of Solomon's Proverbs they are without any methodical contexture or near dependance upon each other which makes them the more abstruse and difficult to the Reader are therefore for better help of Memory brought into this method and order being Alphabetically collected out of the Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and though designed only for private use is here tendred to the publick as profitable for all but especially recommended to the wise improvement of Judicious School-masters by whose ingenuity these excellent Adagies and worthy sayings so full of Wisdom and knowledge so expresly leading to every duty both to God our selves and Neighbours and of such Universal concern may by Gods blessing be improved in School-learning to instil such excellent Principles as may not only leave divine impressions upon the minds of their youth but most admirably direct to every moral accomplishment containing not only the true wisdom teaching the fear of the Lord but all other necessary learning as well Ethicks viz. matters
