Ecclesiastes11:7

7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun .

It cannot be denied that this present Life (which is called light, Iob 3. 20. & 33. 30. Psal. 56. 13. and which is expressed Synecdochically, by seeing the Sun, Eccl. 6. 5. & 7. 11.) is in itself a great blessing, and very desirable; but it is not perpetual nor satisfactory; which is here implied and expressed in the nex[illegible: 1+ letters] verse.
