Though Kings, and Princes, and counsellors, and preachers, and magistrates dig not, and plough not, nor do any handy work, yet they break not therefore the commandment ⟨p. 157⟩of God, they break not this rule of the Apostle. The head walketh not as the •eete nor travaileth as the hands: yet is it not idle. There is no labour comparable to the labour of a Prince. Day and night, sleeping, and waking, he is full of cares, & full of pains. The noble man and magistrate, if he regard his country, be careful for the laws, aid the poor, redress tyranny, comfort the weak, punish the wicked: is not idle. The Minister if he apply his book, be diligent in prayer, exhort, and teach publicly, and privately: is not idle. These labours are greater, than all the labours of the body.
