2 Thessalonians3:11

Verſe 11. Working not at all] But making religion a mask for idleneſſe: whoſe whole life is to eat, and drink, and ſleep, and ſport, and ſit, and talk, and laugh themſelves fat. Theſe are an odious ſort of Chriſtians; a kinde of vagrant people, that having little to do, are ſet a work by the devil: for idleneſſe is the hour of temptation. Standing pools are full of vermine. Behemoth lieth in the fens, Job 40.21.
