I have showed you what a grievous offence this is of the Sodomites; afore I pass from it, let me show unto you a necessary distinction of poor men.1 Some are Gods poor as I may term them, some the Devils. Gods poor are they, whom his hand crossing them, or some natural mere indiscretion of their own, or abundance of charge, want of work,2 or the like hath brought into and doth keep in poverty. The Devils poor are those whom idleness, wastefulness and unthriftiness doth make poor, because either their hands refuse to labour, or else they consume it all up superfluously when they have gotten it. The former kind of poor you ought to strengthen, and the not strengthening of them is a sin. To strengthen the hands of the latter is to strengthen their sin, and therefore their hands must not be strengthened, for S. Pauls Canon is against it, He that will not labour shall not eat.3
