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.

And thus hath God stored the world with needful arts, by means of Lamechs sons that were it seemeth unsanctified men.
