First,1 Men that spend their thoughts and strength about things §1no way profitable to themselves or others, those sow the wind; those that do with a great deal of earnestness, do just nothing, or what they do is but a trifle; many Scholars study night and day, they tire themselves with reading, and musing, and writing, and yet they are no way useful; either their studies have been in useless things, •aking among rubbish and lumber, or else they know not how to make use of their reading and learning; and indeed it is a pitiful object to behold, to behold one that hath been all his days a great Student, and hath beat his brains, and rose early, and gone to bed late, grudged the very time of his meat, and yet he is a useless man in the place where he is, he hath no use at all of all his studies, he is of no service to Church or Common-wealth: Here's a man that hath all his days sown to the wind.
