" Industry; need not wish, . and he
that lives upon hopes will die fasting.
There are no gains without pains. He
that hath a trade hath an estate, and
he that hath a calling hath an office of
profit and honour; but then the trade
must be worked at, and the calling
followed, or neither the estate nor the
oflice will enable us to pay our taxes.
If we are industrious we shall never
starve; for at the working man's
house hunger looks in, but dares not
enter. Nor will the bailiff or the con
stable enter, for industry pays debts,
while despair and neglect increaseth
them."
