Proverbs10:26
Verſ. 26. So is the ſluggard to them that ſend him] Habent aulae ſuum cito, cito, What thou doeſt, do quickly, ſaid our Saviour to the Traytor. Hee cannot away with dulneſs and oſcitancy in any of his, but condemns it in thoſe ſlow things the Hebrews, Heb. 5.11. and commands them double diligence, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Chap. 6.11, 12. Not ſlothful in buſineſs, fervent in ſpirit, ſerving the Lord, Rom. 12.11. A dull heart makes no riddance. Baruc accendit ſeipſum, Neh. 3.20. repairing earneſtly, and ſo finiſhed his task in ſhorter time. Let Ambaſſadours, Miniſters, Meſſengers, &c. nimble up their buſineſs, or look for no thank. What a deal of content gave Cranmer to Henry the eighth, by his expediting the buſineſs of the Divorce both at home and abroad in forein Univerſities? And what a deal of diſtaſte gave Wolſey by the contrary?
