Doctr. The earth yieldeth sufficient profit unto all sorts of men, from the king to the meanest servant; but not to covetousness, 1 Chron. 27.26, to 31. Prov. 27.23, to 27. and 31.16. 2 Chron. 26.10. Amos 2.1. It is bread that strengthens mans heart above all other meats, Isa. 3.1. It is the staff, Psalm 104.15. Gen. 43.8. It is scarcity of bread that maketh a famine, not other commodities. And even the beasts and flocks are maintained by the earth.
