<p>The similitudes here seem to be elegantly transposed. 1. The <i>well-spring of wisdom</i> is <i>as deep waters</i>. An intelligent knowing man has in him a good treasure of useful things, which furnishes him with something to say upon all occasions that is pertinent and profitable. This is as <i>deep waters</i>, which make no noise, but never run dry. 2. The words of such <i>a mans mouth are as a flowing brook</i>. What he sees cause to speak flows naturally from him and with a great deal of ease, and freedom, and natural fluency; it is clean and fresh, it is cleansing and refreshing; from his <i>deep waters</i> there flows what there is occasion for, to water those about him, as the brooks do the low grounds.</p>
