They shall not be sought for in public counsel, nor sit high in the congregation ; they shall not sit on the judge's seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment; they cannot declare justice and judgment, and they shall not be found where parables arc spoken. But they will maintain the state of the world, and (all) their desire is in the work of their craft.
Стр. 77 - Towns where they be dwelling at the time of the proclamation of this statute; and if the people of Cities and other Towns will not or may not suffice to find them, that the said Beggars shall draw them to other Towns within the Hundred, Rape or Wapentake, or to the Towns where they were born, within forty days after the proclamation made, and there shall continually abide during their lives.
Стр. 4 - How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, And that glorieth in the goad, That driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, And whose talk is of bullocks ? He giveth his mind to make furrows; And is diligent to give the kine fodder.
Стр. 89 - ... is applied to purposes opposed to the letter and still more to the spirit of that law, and destructive to the morals of the most numerous class and to the welfare of all.
Стр. 2 - The stateliness of houses, the goodliness of trees, when we behold them, delighteth the eye : but that foundation which beareth up the one, that root which ministereth unto the other nourishment and life, is in the bosom of the earth concealed...
