Proverbs 23:13

Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Ver. 13. Withhold not correction from the child.] See Trapp on " Pro 13:24 "

He shall not die.] Or if he do, yet not by thy default. Thou hast delivered thine own soul howsoever. If a blackmore enter into the bath, though he become not white by it, yet the bath master hath his pay, saith Keyserspergius. The physician hath his fee whether the patient recover or die.
