Proverbs19:24
Verſ. 24. A ſlothful man hideth his hand in his boſome] The Latines ſay, Hee wraps it in his cloak, Manum habet ſub pallio. Hee puts it in his pocket ſay wee. Erewhiles wee had him faſt aſleep; and here going about his buſineſs, as if hee were ſtill aſleep; ſo lazie that any the leaſt labour is grievous to him, hee can hardly finde in his heart to feed himſelf, ſo to uphold the life of his hands, which hee ſhould maintain with the labour of his hands, 2 Theſſ. 3.10. and with the ſweat of his brows, Gen. 3. Very ſucklings get not their milk without much tugging and tyring themſelves at the Dug.
