All those beasts and birds which live by couples, and are not sold over to promiscuous generation, do provide holes and nests for their young, and join to maintain them when they be young: See you not the poor Rooks now in the height of the trees preaching to you this duty with so loud croakings? that you can scarce pass by a Grove, but that inarticulate language will admonish you; how quiet be they all the Winter, and other seasons? But when the Spring comes, and that now nature prompts them to procreate youngs they are so diligent to build nests, and to hatch the young, and to feed them till they can shift for themselves, that no hour sees them idle, or ceasing from that duty; you may see the same in the poor Starlings: Seeing they be here, I will commend them to you for masters of this duty, early and late they be close at this work (taking indeed a little time morning and evening to sit and chirp out their merry tune, as if they would teach you to take time for the praising of God, however urgent your business may seem to be) but else all day long, flying too and fro with food to put into the mouths of their gaping young.
