Ecclesiastes2:25
25 For who can eat , or who else can hasten hereunto more than I?
Who can more freely and fully enjoy the Comforts of this Life than I did? This verse is added to confirm what he said in the foregoing verse from his own Experience, which was the more considerable, because no man ever was a more capable Judg of these matters, none could either have more Creature-comforts, or more addict himself to the enjoyment of them, or improve them to better advantage than he did, and therefore he could best tell what was the greatest good to be found in them, and whether they were able of themselves, without Gods special gift, to yield a man satisfaction.
To wit, to the procuring and enjoying of them. Who can pursue them with more diligence, or obtain them with more speed and readiness, or embrace them with more greediness and alacrity?
