John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 6:2

Verſ. 2. So that hee wanteth nothing] Nothing but every thing, becauſe hee dare not make uſe of any thing almoſt; but is Tantalized by his own baſeneſs. Hee famiſheth at a full feaſt, hee ſtarveth at a fire ſide. And this is often repeated in this book, becauſe it can never enough bee obſerved and abhorred.

Yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof] i. e. Hee with-holdeth his grace from him, that hee cannot uſe it to his comfort. Herein hee is like a Stag that hath great horns, but no courage to uſe them: or rather like an Aſs loaded with gold and victuals, but feeding upon thiſtles. Pray wee therefore,1 Tim. 6.17. that God would together with riches give us all things richly to enjoy. Vel mihi da clavem, vel mihi tolle ſeram. Either give mee the key, ſaith One, or take away the lock. The Greeks deſcribe a good houſholder to be [non-Latin text not transcribed], a good husband, as in getting, keeping and ſetting out what hee hath to the beſt, ſo in making good uſe of it, for his own and others behoof and benefit.

But a ſtranger eats it] God ſo providing, that if one will not, another ſhall; that if the owner will not eat, but ſit pidling or ſparing, a ſtranger, and perhaps an enemy ſhall take away.Deut 28. That if men will not ſerve God with chearfulneſs in the abundance of all things, they ſhould faſt another while, and be forced to ſerve their enemies in hunger, and thirſt, and nakedneſs; and by the want of all bee taught the worth of them, carendo quam fruendo.
