Ecclesiastes5:17
Verſ. 17. All his daies alſo hee eats in darkneſs] i. e. hee lives beſides that hee hath; and cannot ſo much as bee merry at meat. Hence is much ſorrow, wrath and ſickneſs; eſpecially, if ſpoiled of his goods which hee made his god, hee is no leſs troubled than Laban was for his Teraphim, or Micah for his Mawmet, Judg. 18. Hee is mad almoſt, and ready to hang himſelf for woe; having much fretting, foaming, fuming anger, languor, ready to flie at God and men.
