I am removing two sentences (reproduced below) in which the line of thought is not clear and which (quite apart from that) are founded on a misaprehension on the part either of Kortenhorst-Von Bogendorff Rupprath or of user User:Charsome904 about the meaning of Dutch glad. It does not have the same meaning as English glad, and I don't think it did in 1635. Dutch glad means smooth or slippery. Thus the Dutch saying (it is hardly a proverb) corresponds closely to the familiar English saying, but the reasoning in the two sentences remains obscure. I don't have access to the publication cited.
