John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 2:21

Verſ. 21. For there is a man whoſe labour is in wiſdome] This ſeemed to Solomon (whoſe own caſe it was like to be) ſo unworthy a thing, and ſuch a vexation of ſpirit, that hee can never ſay enough of it; but could find in his heart to cry out with the Poet, [non-Latin text not transcribed], I am thrice miſerable, nay ten times, nay an hundred, nay a thouſand times ſo, that am born to be a provident and a perfect drudge of an idledrone, or perhaps of a meer ſtranger.

This is alſo vanity and a great evill] Not privation of good onely, a nothing; but a poſition of evill, a ſad thing; an inconveniency not to bee avoided by the moſt circumſpect prudence: [non-Latin text not transcribed] for it is written, Hee taketh the wiſe in their own craftineſs. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wiſe (their inward diſceptations, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. their debating the matter with themſelves) that they are vain, 1 Cor. 3.19, 20. The rich fool talked to himſelf (as fools uſe to do) and ſet down how every thing ſhould be, Luke 12.17. but it proved ſomewhat otherwiſe, ere he was a day elder.
