Ecclesiastes5:20

Verſ. 20. For hee ſhall not much remember, &c.] Hee vexeth not at the brevity or miſery of his life: but looketh upon himſelf as a ſtranger here; and therefore if hee can have a better condition, hee uſeth it rather: as if a traveller can get a better room in an Inne,1 Cor. 7. hee will, if not, hee can bee content; for ſaith hee, it is but for a night.
