John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 5:15

Verſ. 15. As hee came forth of his Mothers womb] q. d. If riches leave not us while wee live, yet wee are ſure to leave them when wee die.Haud ullas portabis opes Acherontis ad undas: Nudus al[illegible: 1 letter] inferna ſtulte vebere rate. Propert. Look how a falſe harlot leaves her lover, when arreſted for debt, and follows other cuſtomers: ſo is it here. And as Doggs, though they go along with us in company, yet at parting they run every one to his own Maſter; ſo do theſe to the world, when wee come to leave the world. Death as a Porter ſtands at the gate, and ſtrips us of all our thick clay, wherewith wee are laden. See the Note on chap. 2.22.

To go as hee came] Like an unwelcome gueſt, or an unprofitable ſervant, a cipher, and excrement. Oh live, live, live, (ſaith a Reverend man) quickly, much, long; ſo you are welcome to the world. Elſe you are but hiſſed and kickt off this ſtage of the world, as Phocas was by Heraclius. Nay, many (as Job 27.23.) who were buried before half dead, &c.Abn. fun. by Dr. Harris.

And ſhall take nothing of his labour] Ne obolum quo naulum Charonti ſolvant. Some have had great ſtore of gold and ſilver buried with them; and others would needs bee buried in a Monkes cowl, out of a ſuperſtitious conceit of ſpeeding the better in another world; but it hath profited them nothing at all, Eccleſ. 9.10.
