The Pleasant history of lazy Laurence : containing his birth and slothful breeding: and also, as he grew to maturity, how he cast a charm of laziness on his master, mistress, and scholars.--Also, on a cook, who was dressing a wedding dinner, and could not stir until dinner was spoiled. Likewise on a farmer and all his men, who could not stir, notwithstanding it rained on them and the corn for twelve hours. And lastly his trial before Sir Jeffery Jobson, in the town-hall of Never-Work. And how to this day laziness is intailed on his posterity.
