26. He that la∣boureth, laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

26. It is a powerfull mo∣tive to a man to take pains in an honest employment, that all his labour is for his own preservation; his mouth begging this favour of him, that he may not starve: and on the contrary, he that spends his time in giving trouble and vexation unto o∣thers, will find it fall upon himself; for he cannot speak so much as an evil word, but it will return upon him and fly back in his own face.
