3. Now yet Bread to the Wise. Bread is put for all means of Subsistence, and many wise Men have been hard put to it. Certainly Wisdom doth much to get a Lively-hood in the World, Prov. 21. 20. There is a Treasure to de desired, and Oil in the House of the Wise. Yet many times it falleth out that Men of great Wisdom scarce get a Subsistence in the World. As David was put to desire Supplies from Nabal a Fool. And we are told by Solomon, that, Folly is set in great Dignity, when the Wise sit in low Place, Eccl. 10. 6. Paul was in Hungrings often, and Fastings often, not voluntary but enforced, 2 Cor. 11. 27. Yea it is said of our Lord Jesus Christ, that certain Women ministered to him of their Substance for his Support, Luke 8. 3.
