Bede, on Prov 22:20

“Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:”

“Behold, I have described it to you in three ways, etc. He delineated his doctrine to the listener in three ways: thinking, speaking, and executing it in works. With this threefold description, the whole little book shines richly if considered well.”
