Of their Labour and Induftry. 
JEN painful, profitable Labours, fure»no 
. Creatures can be more conftant and 
indefatigable ; and no lefs. chearful are they 
herein, than conftant. ‘They have a natural 
Fnelination’ hereto, and nothing is more 
odious to them than Sloth and Idlenefs, 
Labour is their very Nature, and greateft 
Pleafure: An hungry or a thirfty Man doth 
not eat or drink with greater Delight, than 
thefe admirable, amicable Creatures follow 
their appointed Works, and proper Employ- 
ments, This is their beloved Province; and 
now they appear to be in their proper Ele- 
ment. Withthe greateft Satisfaction and Ad- 
miration have I frequently beheld them, moft 
faithfully, and as chearfully difcharging their 
feveral Offices, without loofing the leaft . 
Opportunity. Reftraint at fuch a Seafon 
~ would make them impatient, and Confine- 
ment would be an intolerable Punifhment. 
It is to thefe their united, moft earneft, 
-conftant Labours, their Profperity and Riches 
are principally owing. The diligent Hand 
maketh rich, 
They are inceffant, as well as abundant 
herein, defift not, nor require a Writ o 
a i 4 Eafe,
