6 There is a general rule, wantonness is the beginning of sin. We see in Esau, to1 what great profaneness his wanton pleasure in hunting grew. So in the Scriptures there can be found none other beginning of Solomons fall, but this, that 1. Kin. 3. when he had spent seven years in building the house of God, he spent thirteen after in building an house for himself. This was scarce a good proportion, to bestow thirteen years on his own house, and seven years on God his house, and the Apes and Peacocks that he brought into the land, set the people in such vanity, that they vanished away in their wanton thoughts. Idleness and trifling be the callings of Gentlemen now adays, as also needless expenses. 1. Tim. 5.
