Proverbs12:11

Verſ. 11. He that tilleth his Land ſhall be ſatisfied, &c. This is true of all other lawful Callings manual or mental, the ſweat of the brow or of the brain. Sin brought in ſweat, Gen. 3.19. and now not to ſweat increaſeth ſin; Men muſt earn their bread before they eat it, 2 Theſſ. 3.12. and bee diligent in their Callings to ſerve God and Men, themſelves and others, with the fatneſſe, and ſweetneſſe thereof; and then they have the promiſe, they ſhall be fed, Pſal. 37.7.

Dum de mor. But he that followeth vain perſons, &c.] It is hard to bee a good fellow and a good husband too. Qui aequo animo malis immiſcetur, malus eſt, ſaith one, Hee that delights in bad company cannot be good.
