The imployment of the Hsbandman is by all acknowledged, to be very laborious; there is a multiplicity of business incumbent on him. The end of one work, is but the beginning of another. Every season of the year brings its proper work with it: Sometimes you find him in his Fields, dressing, plowing, sowing, harrowing, weeding, or reaping; and some∣times in his Barn, threshing, or winnowing; some∣times
in his Orchard, planting, graffing, or pruning his trees, and sometimes among his Cattel: so that he hath no time to be idle. And as he hath a multiplicity of business, so every part of it is full of toyl, and spending labour: He eats not the bread of idleness, but earns it before he eats it; and as it were, dips it in his own sweat, whereby it becomes the sweeter to him. Though sin brought in the Husband∣mans sweat, Gen. 3. 19. yet now not to sweat would increase his sin, Ezek. 16. 49.
