And well may the Preacher and Plough-man be likened together, First, For their Labour in all seasons of the Year; for there is no time in the year, in which the Plough-man hath not some ⟨p. 21⟩special work to do; as in my Country, in Leicestershire, the Plough-man hath a time to set forth his Plough, and other times for other necessary works to be done.
