Proverbs22:13
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without: I shall be slain in the streets.
Alledgeth as his excuse to them who upbraid him with idleness, or persuade him to diligence.
There are extream dangers and invincible difficulties in my way.
By that Lion, or some other way.
Which is added to shew the ridiculousness of his excuse; for Lions abide in the woods or fields, nor in the streets of Towns or Cities.
