For they shall be an ornament of grace unto your head, and chains about your neck.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 1:9 Go To Proverbs 1
Bede
AD 735
Through listening to paternal instruction and through observance of maternal law, grace is put on our head and a neck ring on our neck. For the more one gives heed to divine commands [and] strives to observe with greater diligence what one has learned in the unity of mother church, the more one may now ascend with greater worthiness to the honor of preaching and may in the future ascend with greater exaltation to the blessedness of reigning with Christ for ever.
