Ecclesiastes3:12
12 I know that there is no good in them , but for a man to rejoyce, and to do good in his life.
By clear reason, and my own long and certain experience.
No other satisfaction or felicity which a Man can enjoy.
In Creatures or Worldly enjoyments.
Either 1. to himself, as it is fully expressed, Psal. 49. 18. Or 2 to others; to employ them in acts of Charity and liberality towards others. Or 3. towards God, to use them, and to live in the fear of God, which is necessary to the happiness of this as well as of the other life.
