John Trapp on Ecclesiastes 8:10

Verſ. 10. And ſo I ſaw the wicked buried] With Pomp and great ſolemnity, funeral Orations, Statues, and Epitaphs, &c. as if he had been another Joſiah, or Theodoſius: ſo doe men over-whelm this mouſe with praiſes proper to the Elephant, as the Proverb hath it.

Who had come and gone from the place of the Holy] That is, from the place of Magiſtracy, Seat of Judicature, where the Holy God himſelf ſits as chief Preſident, and Lord Paramount. Deut. 1.17, 2 Chron. 19.6. Pſal. 82.1.

And they were forgotten in the City where they had ſo done] A great benefit to a wicked man to have his memory dye with him; which if it be preſerved, ſtinks in keeping,Pemble. and remains as a curſe and perpetual diſgrace, as one very well ſenſeth it.
