§. 59.
Digr. Of The several more noble, and advantageous Voca∣tions of the Gentry; and of there being two motives of dayly labour; One, that we may eat our own bread (2. Thes. 3.12.) the Other, that we may have to give to him that needeth, and that others may eat of our bread (Eph. 4.28.) That who so needs not to work for the first reason: yet he (if busied in no other imployment more beneficial to the publick) hath it recommended to him for the second. Neither doth a plentiful inheritance, whereby he relieves the Poor, frustrate this Counsel. Since he giveth what is more his own, who giveth of what he getteth; than who giveth only of what he possesseth; and as he that relieves them with the one, doth well, so he that with both, doth better. See Act. 9.39.
