Ecclesiastes2:21
21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledg, and in equity : yet to a man that hath not laboured therein , shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity, and a great evil .
Who useth great Industry, and Prudence, and Justice too in the management of his affairs, and therefore might as confidently expect Gods blessing, and the comfort of his labours, as any other man.
So as I have done: who hath spent his days in sloth and folly.
A great disorder in itself, and a great disgrace to this World, and a great torment to a considering mind.
