Verse. 23. Much food is by tillage for the poor; but some are consumed by indiscretion.
Verse. 23. Much food is by tillage for the poore; but some are consumed by indiscretion.
BY food, he meaneth all such things as are needful for the use of mans life & by much he understandeth a fit and competent measure, which divers times groweth to be large and ample. And this do poor men often attain unto, when they are provident, and diligent in managing of their affairs, and by name in the work of husbandry, and so it also holdeth in all other ⟨p. 70⟩honest and lawful vocations. Now again on the contrary side, some are consumed by indiscretion. For many a one who hath a good stock, and fair livings and fruitful grounds, by neglecting labour, and not ordering things aright, wasteth all that he hath, and falleth into great want and necessity.
