hee is knowne in the gates So that he praiseth her and crowneth her with this commendation Manie daughters haue done vertuouslie but thou surmountest them all But Isaies idle and carelsse women are of another nature They are haughtie Isai 3.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24 32.9.10.11.12.13.14 and not humble they are walkers and not workers their feet and their eies are alwaies wandring They spend whole daies and nights in decking themselues and in beautifying their bodies their whole studie is about their onaments of tires hoods and calles of sweete balles bracelets and bonets of tablets earings muflers and rings of vailes wimpels and crisping pins of girdles glasses fine linnen and launes and such other pieces of costly apparrell And therfore the Prophet speaketh to them in this wise Rise vp ye women that are at ease heare my voice ye carelesse daughters hearken to my words Ye women that are carelesse shall be in feare aboue a yeere in daies for the vintage shall faile and the gathering shall come no more Yee women that be at ease be astonished feare O yee idle women put off the cloathes meaning their costlie and pompous apparrell make bare and gird sackcloth vpon the loines as if he should say Turne your silkes into sackcloth and your odours into ashes men shall lament for the teates euen for the pleasant fields and the fruitfull vine Vpon the land of my people shall grow thornes and briars yea vpon all the houses of ioy in the citie of reioycing It cannot be otherwise said then but that as a vertuous woman is a most great good so an idle vicious woman is a most great euill Eccles 10.18 By slothfulnes the roofe of the house goeth to decay and by the idlenesse of the hands the house droppeth thorow Hate not labourious worke saith Iesus the sonne of Syrach neither the husbandrie Eccles 7.15.22 which the most high hath created and if thou haue cattell looke well to them 9.19 Also in the hands of the craftesman shall the workes be commended 25.3 If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth what canst thou find in thine age 40.28.29.30 My sonne leade not a beggers life for better it were to digge then to begge Begging is sweet in the mouth of the vnshamefast and in his bellie there burneth a fire Act. 20.34 35. 1. Thes 4.11 2. Thes 3.7.10.11.12 1. Tim. 5.8 2. Tim. 2.6 Likewise the holy Apostle as he laboured with his owne hands to relieue his owne necessities and those of other poore brethren so he will not haue idle men and such as will not worke to eate And therfore very earnestly he exhorteth yea commandeth such folkes to labour with quietnesse and to eate their owne bread for the husband-man must labour before he receiue the fruits and he that prouideth not for his household is in that part worse then an Infidell The world now a daies is combred with two sorts of idle men some haue a calling and will not follow it and others are ashamed to learne a manuall trade or occupation because they are Gentlemen borne though they haue no lands As for the first order of idle men it were a pitilesse pitie to pitie such mens pouertie for it is good reason that he be poore who hauing a calling to wind himselfe out of pouertie will not inure himselfe to exercise and follow the same And good reason that hee eate not but starue for hunger who may work and can worke and hath occasion offered him to work and yet will not worke 2. Thes 3.8.9.10.11.12 whereby hee may haue what to eate for so saith the Apostle yee that will not imitate the holy Apostles example who wrought with labour and trauell night and day with his owne hands lest hee should haue been chargeable to others And therefore all that haue betaken themselues to a gainefull calling ought to imitate the diligence of Salomons vertuous woman bee they women or bee they men Prou. 31.13.15.18 Shee laboureth cheerefully with her hands yea her candle is not put out by night for she riseth while it is yet night and giueth the portion to her houshold and the ordinarie to her maides As for the other order of idle men who are gentlemen but without lands and yet are ashamed to betake themselues to a trade because of their Gentrie or Nobilitie of blood Trulie in my conceit their pouertie is to be pitied but yet their idlenesse me thinketh cannot be excused Neither can I see how a mans Gentilitie can be disparaged any whit by the meanes of a vertuous art of an honest craft or occupation Neither can I see any such antipathie or opposition betweene Gentilitie and mechanicall industrie that they cannot consist together No no they can well enough agree together though poore Gentlemen be loath and are ashamed that in their persons they should ioyne together But this shame of theirs is not a good shame but such a shame as they ought rather to bee ashamed of Gentilitie tooke the first originall from vertue and there is no Gentilitie or Nobilitie in blood but in regard of the seeds of vertue which are supposed to accompanie the blood of such as are called Gentlemen borne The which thing being true as it is most true it followeth that Gentilitie cannot be either extinguished or impaired by a mechanicall trade which is likewise grounded and founded vpon vertue and is practised for the cherishing of vertue and the quelling of vice So that Gentilitie and mechanicall industry are sisters euen the daughters of one dame for vertue is the mother and mistris of both Men may well set them together by the eares but as I said before they of themselues could well enough agree Genes 2.8 The Lord himself would not be idle for besides the creation of the world he planted a Garden Eastward in Eden and so in a manner played the Gardiner It is also said that he made skinne-coates for Adam and Eue 3.7.21 and so for the good of man and for our good example he disdained not in a manner to play the tayler For whether the Lord himselfe as hee planted the garden of Eden for our first parents so also made the skinne-coates for them as the letter of the text doth import or whether hee gaue them knowledge to make themselues cloathes as some doe suppose it is not much materiall It is sufficient that we learne this lesson hence Exod. 28.3 31.3.4.5.6 35.30.31.32.33.34.35 that a man ought not to be ashamed to practise a mechanicall art seeing God is the author thereof And therefore God himselfe by Moses calleth the making of Aarons garments a worke of the Spirit of wisedome As also the working in gold siluer and brasse the grauing and setting of stones and caruing of wood the working in broidred and needle worke in blue silke in purple in skarlet and in fine linnen together with weauing and the practising of such inuentions
