Note, 1. Those that are diligent in their callings take the way to live
comfortably: He that tills his land, and tends his shop, and minds his
business, whatever it is, he shall have plenty of bread, of that which
is necessary for himself and his family and with which he may be
charitable to the poor; he shall eat the labour of his hands. 2. Those
that are idle, and careless, and company-keepers, though they indulge
themselves in living (as they think) easily and pleasantly, they take
the way to live miserably. He that has land and values himself upon
that, but does not till it, but follows after vain persons, drinks with
them, joins with them in their frolics and vain sports, and idles away
his time with him, he shall have poverty enough, shall be satiated or
replenished with poverty (so the word is); he takes those courses which
lead so directly to it that he seems to court it, and he shall have his
fill of it.
