Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 9:2

2 All things come alike to all : there is one eve[illegible: 1+ letters]t to the righteous and the wicked; to the good and [illegible: 1 word] the clean ; and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth , and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good so is the sinner , and he that sweareth m as he that feareth an oath .

The good and evil things of this World do equally, happen to good and bad men.

Either 1. morally clean, or holy men: Or, 2. legally, who made Conscience of keeping himself pure from all legal defilements, according to the Law then in force, and consequently from all other sins upon the same ground.

That worshippeth God sincerely, though it be to his cost.

As to all outward things, to wit, customarily and unnecessarily, rashly, without due consideration and reverence, or falsly and wickedly. For otherwise that some swearing was then allowed, and in some cases required, none do or can deny.

Who is afraid of offending God, or abusing his Name by vain, or rash, or false Oaths
