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 [...] [...] 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, [...], Proverbium, Adagium, Ep. 222. Parabola, Joh. 10.6. [...]. 1. Compara­tio alegori­ca & aenigmatica, Mat. 13.13. 2. Obscura sententia, Mat. 15.15. 3. Exemplar seu Typus, Heb. 9.9. 4. Adagium. Luk. 4.23. 5. 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.

[Page]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 Ʋse 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.

[Page] 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.

[Page]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 Ʋnderstanding; 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 [Page] 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 [Page] 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 pertaining to moral vertues, as Prudence, Justice, Tem­perance, &c. As Oeconomicks, viz. matters of Domestick or Family concerns, relating to the duties of husbands, wives, Parents, Children, Masters and Servants. And Po­liticks also, relating to Government, and matters of State: so that Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, &c. and other Heathenish School-Authors, are not to be named with Solo­mon, [Page] who so instructs to every good word and work; the Proverbs indeed being what is said of the Scriptures, 2 Tim. 3.16. Profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Cor­rection, for Instruction in Righteousness, &c. Therefore, as Solomon himself advises, Train up a Child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it, Prov. 22.6.

If any advantage be reaped hereby to to you or yours, let God have the Glory, and the unworthy Instrument the benefit of your Prayers, who is desirous in every capacity faithfully to his utmost,

To serve You and his Generation, whilst, H. D.

Of Wisdom.

THE great Jehovah, who inhabits light,
Appear'd to Solomon in a dream by night,
And said, Ask now what I shall give to thee?
Suppose now (Mortals) this same question be
Propos'd to you, Let's hear, what would you say?
And how would you dispose your choice, I pray?
Give me (saith one) in Riches to abound:
Give me (saith t'other) Honour and Renown.
But what saith Solomon? O Lord impart
To me a wise and understanding heart.
Wise was thy choice, wise Solomon, to which
God therefore added to be Great and Rich.
The wisest Lord did know, that only he
Could rightly use both Wealth and Dignity,
Who steer'd his course by wisdoms sage advice;
Here's the true Honour, here's the Pearl of price.
For what's a Fool, that is with riches grac'd,
A Swine, in whose fowl snowt a Gem is plac'd.
Or what's a Fool, on whom honour doth wait?
A long ear'd-Ass sitting in Chair of State.
The Miser is a fool, and so is he
That spends his wealth in prodigality:
Whom, if they went to Wisdom, she would show
A fair and middle path wherein to go.
[Page]And art thou great? be not a fool, for thus
Thou'lt make thy folly more conspicuous.
Acquaint they self with Wisdom, wait upon her,
And she will add true glory to thine honour.
By her Kings reign, and Princes do decree
By her advice, Justice and Equity.
A fool that is in honour doth but show
Himself to be a fool in Folio.
May n't Rehoboam justly stiled be,
A famous fool, a fool in high degree?
Whom Israels ten Tribes forsook because
He wilfully forsook grave Wisdoms Laws;
While be th' advice of Seniors refus'd,
And the rash counsel of the Young Men us'd?
Justly might Wisdom then preferred be
By Solomon, 'bove wealth and dignity:
With him she, above all, the Conquest won,
Wisdom was justified by her Son:
Into whose breasts she did a flame inspire,
Which will last longer than the Vestal fire;
A sacred flame it is, which ne're will die,
But ev'n now burns for us to warm us by:
A flame that gives not only heat but light,
Not only warms the heart, but guides the sight.
O Peerless Wisdom! teach us how to prize thee,
That wealth nor honour may not equallize thee;
Without thee they are worse than nothing; Thou
Art without them both wealth and honour too.
That we may know thy worth, let's search and see,
From whence thou dost derive thy Pedegree.
[Page]Though equal honour be not to thee given,
Yet thou'rt the off-spring of the King of Heaven,
Wisdom doth shine in all his works, which he
Grants man sometimes through Wisdoms glass to see.
View now and read, Natures great Volumn, look
Wisdom's in every leaf of Natures Book.
Behold how she hath knit the whole Creation
In a most glorious link to admiration.
They're happy who with Contemplations eye
The hidden secrets of her glory spie.
O foolish man, that didst not know her price,
But didst forsake her, and so Paradise:
Whose mind the mists of Ignorance now cloud,
While she in Heaven doth her glory shroud.
Yet God (whom goodness doth delight) hath given
A Palace to her here beneath the Heaven;
That man (who did despise her glory) might
In darkness see his folly by her light;
A light, O blessed light, that shews the way,
From which blind man hath so long gone astray,
But where doth Wisdoms Palace stand, yo [...] [...]
For this therefore, listen a while (I pray)
T' a Pilgrim, who hath wandered about,
And sought to find this famous Palace out.
I went not far, when lo! I did espie,
Far off, a Fabrick, beauteous to my eye,
In a fair Prospect: I approacht therefore,
And saw men crown'd with Lawrel at the door;
They call'd them Poets: who, when as they knew
I sought for Wisdoms Palace, all the crew
[Page]Cry'd out, Pray enter, and it will appear,
That Wisdom (whom you seek for) dwelleth here.
I entred then, and saw at my ingress,
Rooms garnish'd to the life, I must confess;
What Carvers art, or Painters skill could doe,
Was represented there unto my view.
But where's the Room where Wisdom doth abide,
Wherein she doth her beams of glory hide?
She's in that Room, (said they) so in I came;
Loe t'was a Strumpet there, Fancy by Name,
Whose whole Attire was very gay and spruce,
Yet very wanton, and her gestures loose;
Yet these same foolish Poets fell before her,
And, as a Goddess, did they all adore her.
Farewel (said I) for yet it don't appear,
That Wisdom (whom I seek for) dwelleth here.
Soon I went my journey, till my hast,
Had brought me to a certain place at last,
In which I saw men arguing together,
Who aked me, What 'twas that brought me thither?
To [...] for Wisdom, I reply'd: but they
(Men called them Philosophers) did say,
Enter this Palace, and it will appear,
That Wisdom (whom you seek for) dwelleth here.
I entered in, the Rooms did shine with Gold,
And were all very glorious to behold:
But yet although 'twas Gold unto my view,
I fear the Gold was counterfeit, not true.
And here and there were plac'd in divers stations,
Both grave advices, and fine speculations,
[Page]I could not see distinctly; for my sight
Was only guided by the Candle light
Of nature— But where's Wisdom? O repair
(Replyed they) to that Chamber, for she's there.
Yea, this is she, said I; but coming nigh,
I could no signs of life or motion spie;
But saw she was an Image made by Art,
Assimilating Wisdom in each part.
O then, thought I, true Wisdom life hath got,
And is from God above, but this is not.
Farewell (said I) for yet it don't appear,
That Wisdom (whom I seek for) dwelleth here.
So I departed thence with speedy feet,
Whenas I found that was not Wisdoms Seat.
And in my progress, I at last did see,
Some persons wearing Wisdoms Livery.
Grace in their hearts: Then I enquiry made
Where Wisdoms Palace was: they straight way said,
"Enter these Scriptures, and it will appear,
"That Wisdom (whom you seek for) dwelleth here.
"Whose glory ('tis so great) tongue can't express,
"When you have entred, you will say no less
"She's glorious within, enlightned eyes
"Do see such beauties which they can't but prize
"She hath one Room all hung with Pearls (you'l see)
"King Sol [...]mons Proverbs full of dignity.
"She teaches how to manage every state
"In which you fall; she'l teach to moderate
"Prosperity; she'l make affliction bright;
"She is a cloud by day, and flame by night
[Page]"She'l shew you secret joys, true comforts, and
"E'relasting pleasures, ev'n at Gods right hand.
Oh! now I have found her Palace, let me wait,
Till Wisdom shall be pleas'd to ope her Gate.

Of a Proverb.

Who searches oft in smal things, worth descries
A pearl is small, and yet of a great price:
A Proverb is a Pearl then, rich, though small,
But Scriptural most precious is of all.
King Solomon hath left Posterity,
A rich and everlasting Legacy;
A Cabinet of Pearls, which all may take,
Nor shall they yet their fellows poorer make:
You may perhaps be owner of't, and yet
I also may enjoy the Cabinet.
Who will not then this Cab'net prize and keep?
They'r precious Pearls, although they'r in a heap.
You'l say, perhaps, they'r mixt together;—Well,
Loe here, each Iewel hath it's proper Cell,
And as your use requires, you may repair
To such a Cell, and have a Jewel there.
