Lastly, this sin exposeth a man to want, Idleness will clothe with §4rags, his penury cometh like an armed man, and like a traveller, 1hastily, surely, strongly, it cannot be resisted, it will not linger, He that followeth vain persons shall have poverty enough; 2The sluggard will not plough in Winter, therefore he must beg in Summer and have nothing. And if it fall out, that great means do keep an idle person from want, yet he hath a most poor and beggarly soul, utterly destitute of saving graces and virtues, for he must labour for these things that will attain them.
