1The third is abundance of idleness, here is the fault it self idleness, and the measure of it, very much idleness. Idleness is a sin especially when it grows to be abundance of idleness. Solomon hath bent himself to the disgrace of this fault in many of his Proverbs, Go to the pismire O sluggard, 2Prov. 6.9. & 9. how long wilt thou sleep? & 10. Yet a little sleep. 24.30. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding, a witless fellow, a fool. And the Apostle condemns it in the younger widows, that they learnt to be idle, 1 Tim. 5.13. and many threats are made against the idle person and the sluggard, 19.15. an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
