Ecclesiastes3:19
Verſ. 19. For that which befalleth the ſons of men] As hunger, thirſt, heat, cold, diſeaſes, aches, and other ill accidents.
Noc te tua plurima Pentheu Labeutem texit pietas. As the one dieth] They are ſure to dye, both of them.
Yea they have all one breath] They breathe in the ſame ayr, and exſpire alike, in reſpect of the body.
So that a man hath no preheminence] Unleſs it bee in reaſon and ſpeech, which hee frequently abuſeth to his own utter deſtruction. But otherwiſe, Nos aper auditu praecellit, aranca tactu, Vultur odoratu, lynx viſu, ſimia guſtu.
