mind is the field intention the Tillage care the seed labour the harvest if thou Husband the field diligently thou shalt receive a plentifull harvest Sometime ease and quietnesse becometh restlesse and troublesome therefore ought we evermore to be in action and exercised in some good Arts or Studies as often as we find our selves ill affected with sloth and idlenesse which cannot abide it self Many are the Instruments pertaining to Husbandry I will make choyce of some of the chiefest and of most frequent use in Coat-Armour He giveth his mind to make Furrowes and is diligent to give the Kine fother Wheeles are the Instruments whereby Chariots Wagons and such like things are carryed both speedily and with great facility and they are so behoovefull for these uses as that if any one of them happen to fall off the whole carriage must either stand still or at least is forced forward with great difficulty As we may see Exod. 14. where God took off the Wheeles of the Chariots of the Aegyptians that vehemently prosecuted the Israelites as appeareth verse 25.

CHAP. VII AGriculture is for meer necessity clothing is partly for it and partly for ornament and decency but had not Man sinned he had not needed clothing which were worth the considering by those who are so proud of their apparell As touching such Arts or Trades that we call Handycraft or Mechanicall professions so called perhaps of Moecha which signifieth an Harlot or an Adulterous person for that as an Harlot covnterfeiteth the modest behaviour of a modest Matrone so do Mechanicall Artizans labour to resemble the works of Nature In quantum possunt These are not performed so much by wit and invention like as the Arts Liberall are as they be by exercise of the Limbs and labour of the body And hereof they are thought to be called Arts ab artubus which properly do signifie the muscles sinewes or other ligaments of the Body but metaphorically it is often taken for the limbs themselves that are so combined and connected together How meanly soever we reckon of these in a Relative comparison to the Arts Liberall neverthelesse it is clear that these no lesse than those do proceed from the immediate gift of God as doth plainly appear by B●zaleel and Aholiab Exod. 35.3 and are no lesse behovefull and necessary for mans use and for the support of humane traffick and society as we may see Ecclesiast 38.31 Where after he had made mention of the care and diligence the Carpenter Porter and Smith and other men of Trade do use in their severall professions he concludeth thus All these trust their hands and every one bestoweth his wisdome in his worke Without these cannot the Citties be maintained nor inhabited hereby we see the necessity of these Artificiall or Mechanicall Trades or professions With little reason may any man contemn the Tokens of Instruments pertaining to Mechanicall Trades or professions sithence they are express notes of Trades so very behoovefull for the use of mans life and their exquisite skil and knowledge issued out of the plentiful Fountain of Gods abundant Spirit In things Artificiall that manner of translation is reckoned the more worthy from which it is extracted than that whereunto it is transferred acording to that saying Transmutatio in rebus Artificialibus famosius dicitur esse de genere ejus ex quo quàm ad quod Under this Head must be reduced all manner of Tooles and Instruments borne in Coat-armour and pertaining to the severall Trades of Weaving Fulling Dying Sheering c.
