the slothfull like drones liue by the hony gathered by the Bees and like vultures prey on carcasses they killed not one beates the bush and they catch the bird they sucke the bloud of other men and become as fat as body-lice by eating vp others brewesse they tost themselues at their neighbours fire and keepe no warmth in their owne chimneis other mens labours are in their houses they drinke the waters of others cisternes of the riuers out of the middest of others welles or else adultery for the minde is apt to all vncleannes n 2. Sam. 11. 2. when the man is idle the minde being voyde of exercise the man is voyde of honesty Queritur Aegystus quare sit factus Adulter in pomptu causa est desidiosus erat Besides it weareth strength as rust doth yron and ouer-much rest makes men not more fit but lesse willing to take payne againe the slothfull hand maketh poore hereby o Ecc. 10. 18 the roofe of the house goeth to decay by the idlenes of the handes the house dropeth thorough by doing nothing men come to nothing and enter into the playne high way to Needome and when a man will be of no calling he shall be sure that pouerty or beggery will find a calling to arrest him and therefore in the time of Cat● Censorius when any would be a Citizen of Rome this question was not demanded whence or what hee was but only they tooke his hands betweene theirs and if they felt them soft and smooth they presently as an idle vagabonde gaue him a mittimus but if hard and knotty they forthwith admitted him to dwell in their Citie And if a malefactor were apprehended whose handes were labouring handes his punishment should be mitigated though his crime were grieuous but if idle hands a seuere punishment should be inflicted for a small offence therefore the Lacedemonians would haue labour and sweat hunger and thirst as the best spices to season their pottage therefore the ancients paynted the image of vertue girded therefore God gaue the Israelites but a short time to gather them Manna for when the p Ex. 16. 21 heate of the Sun came it was melted therefore might the housholder well say why stand yee here all the day idle The elements moue the heauens turne the wormes creepe the fishes swime the birdes flye why stand yee idle another reason that the housholder vseth is the strength and abilitie of those to whom he speaketh why stand yee as if he should say were it so that you were criples or impotent and not otherwise prouided for you might lye with Lazarus at the rich mans gate I would not hasten you forward to worke but you haue the powers of your bodyes are lusty and strong why stand yee idle q Pro. 30. 25. the Antes are feeble the pismires a people not strong yet are they diligent at their worke and will you that are strong be negligent Draco but his lawes for their cruelty are sayd to be written with bloud depriued them of life which would not labour for their liuing the drones of Hetruria like vnprofitable bees entring into the hyue and consuming the hony were expelled from others and reputed as vagabonds were condemned to exile and dealt withall much like as Philip King of Macedonia dealt with two of his bad subiects he made one of them runne out of the countrey and the other driue him In other places they haue had Stafford law and at Bridewell in our land whipping cheere and in the 23. yeare of Edward the 3 there was a statute made that no man vnder paine of imprisonmēt should giue any almesse to any sturdy beggers that necessity might cōpell them to get their bread with the sweet of their browes The housholders third reason to induce vs to labour is taken from the place here why stand yee heere idle heauen is a place of rest let the world tosse how it list our rest is pitched alost and we shal be as the r Gen. 8. 4 Arke which when the floud ceased did rest on the mountaine Hell is a place of torment there bee heauy fines but no recoueries they deale in this Court vpon the capias ſ Mal. 22. 13. take him away and cast him into vtter darkenes vpon babeas corpus binde him hand and foote vpon the ● Gē 3. 24 Ne exeat regnum the gates are kept from egresse as the gates of Paradise were warded from entrance though we haue a writ de homine replegiando directed to the sheriffe to cause a man to be repleued when he is in prison yet here is no repleuie no flying to a Court of conscience for reliefe no iudgement reuersed by writ of errour This world is a place of labour where we must weare our bodies and still be doing some thing that God may not find vs idle when he commeth and the diuell may finde vs busie when he tempteth and therefore stand not idle heere The fourth reason is drawne from the time Worke while u Ioh. 9. 4. it is day the night commeth when no man can worke therefore stand not idle in the day time if thou hast let slip part of the day if thou hast not sowne thy seed in the morning yet in the euening let not thy hand rest stand not all day idle nulla dies sine li●ea if thou sufferest one day to passe without drawing some line thou maiest say diem amisimus amici and hast lost that which cannot be recouered and called backe againe on the one side be not an idle person who being an vnprofitable peece of earth will not doe all that he hath to doe on the other side bee not too curious in thy worke but see when a thing is well done and doe not more then all hate both these extreames doing nothing and doing more then need to no purpose keepe the meane labour six daies and doe all leaue nothing till the seuenth day then to be dispatched do not more then all yet doe all for sufficient vnto the seuenth day is the trauaile thereof The seuenth day is the Sabbath of th● Lord thy God wee must giue to euery one that which belongeth vnto him the seuenth day belongeth to God therefore we must giue it vnto him the minor proposition is in the text the maior in Mathew x Mat. 22 21. and it is an axiome that goes currant
