John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 6:5

Verſ. 5. Moreover hee hath not ſeen the Sun] A ſecond priviledge and prerogative of the poor abortive. None are ſo miſerable wee ſee, but they may bee comparatively happy. It is ever beſt to look at thoſe below us, and then wee ſhall ſee cauſe to bee better contented.

This hath more reſt than the other] The Corn that is cropt as ſoon as it appeareth, or is bruiſed in peeces when it lies in ſprout, is better than the old weed that is hated while it ſtandeth, and in the end is cut down for the fire.
