Wisdom 4:3 But the multiplied brood of the wicked shall not thrive, and bastard slips shall not take deep root, nor any fast foundation.

Slips. Vitulamina, a word, to which the people were so habituated, that it could not be altered. (St. Augustine, de Doct. xii.) --- Yet some read better (Calmet) plantationes. (St. Bonaventure) (Lyranus) --- The offspring of the unchaste will not prosper, Wisdom 3:16.
