Jubal the next Son of Lamech, he was a man not given so much to toilsome profit as to merriment and sport, he was a lover of music, and he perfected the art of making Organs, and you must understand, playing upon them too, for to what purpose would he find them out but to play on? This is a lawful invention and good and comfortable. Cheerfulness and Mirth so that it be moderate and well guided for the circumstances, is a lawful thing, whether Music by voice or instrument, whether wind instruments or other hand instruments. It is a very good and lawful thing to solace ones self with music, and a warrantable recreation, so that it be not abused, and he that first found it out is to be counted a benefactor to mankind.

But the last named, he was the most profitable inventer, he that found out the art of iron work, he was an excellent Smith. This was Tubal Cain, thought to be the same that the Heathens called Vulcan. Smiths are a necessary calling. Their art is helpful to all other Sciences both for peace and war, to them belongeth the making of all the necessariest instruments of husbandry, of all sort of tools for other trades and of arms also for the Soldier. No part of mans life can be without iron work. A knife, a key, an hatchet, a fork, a saw, a mattock, a sith, a raking hook, a chisel, a sword, a spear, a shield, an helmet, who can reckon up the things that Smiths do make for mans use. This was therefore an exceeding fruitful invention, so much the more to be commended by how much it is more wearisome and laborious, for it is you know a strong labour in some things and a curious in other things, and much of it is much annoyed with heat about the fire. And thus hath God stored the world with needful arts, by means of Lamechs sons that were it seemeth unsanctified men.
