VERS. III.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

The Porter.

I Am mistaken if the servants that attend about the flock under the shepherd, the owners of them are not called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Eccles. XII. 11. i. e. those that fold the sheep; at least if the sheepfold its self be not so called. And I would render the words by way of Paraphrase thus: The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastned by those that gather the flock into the fold: Goads, to drive away the thief or the wild beast; and nails to pre∣serve the sheepfold whole and in good repair. Which goad and nails are furnisht by the chief Shepherd, the Master of the flock, for these uses. Now one of these servants that attended about the flock was call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the Porter. Not that he always sat at the door, but the key was committed to his charge, that he might look to it that no sheep should stray out of the fold, nor any thing hurtful should get, or be let in.
