John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 2:12

Verſ. 12. For what can the man doe that cometh after the King?] q. d. who is it that can out-doe me in this review and diſcovery? Neither is this a vain-glorious vaunting of his own vertues, but an Occupation or prevention of an objection, thus.

Obj. It may be thou haſt not perfectly known the difference of things, and ſo haſt not rightly determined.

Sol. To this he anſwers, that he hath ſo quit himſelf in ſearching and trying the truth in theſe points, that it is not for any other to goe beyond him. And having removed this rub, having carried this dead Amaſa out of the way, that might have hindred his Hearers march, hee proceeds in his diſcourſe.
