Ecclesiastes10:18

18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth, and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through .

That House which is neglected by its owner, and not repaired, must needs come to ruine. Whereby he intimates, that the sloth and carelesness of Princes in the management of publick affairs, which is an usual attendant upon that Luxury, of which he hath now discoursed, is most destructive both to themselves, and to their people.
