i_o must_v add_v here_o that_o though_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v not_o well_o translate_v the_o preacher_n yet_o i_o have_v retain_v ecclesiastes_n as_o the_o name_n of_o this_o book_n because_o it_o be_v best_o know_v by_o it_o 3._o i_o here_o suppose_v this_o title_n to_o be_v prefix_v not_o by_o solomon_n himself_o but_o by_o ezra_n and_o his_o assistant_n who_o not_o only_o collect_v the_o history_n of_o the_o patriarchal_a and_o jewish_a church_n and_o methodise_v the_o prophecy_n and_o other_o holy_a write_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o also_o give_v the_o book_n which_o constitute_v that_o canon_n of_o scripture_n their_o several_a title_n so_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o it_o it_o have_v be_v say_v these_o be_v word_n which_o we_o ezra_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o great_a synagogue_n have_v find_v to_o be_v koheleth_n the_o son_n of_o david_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o have_v put_v they_o into_o the_o holy_a canon_n for_o this_o reason_n it_o come_v from_o another_o and_o not_o from_o solomon_n own_o hand_n i_o have_v represent_v it_o to_o his_o praise_n and_o advantage_n 4._o these_o word_n king_n in_o jerusalem_n in_o strictness_n perhaps_o aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o koheleth_n or_o solomon_n yet_o they_o may_v too_o be_v allow_v to_o relate_v to_o the_o next_o precede_v word_n i._n e._n david_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o david_n be_v the_o first_o that_o entire_o conquer_a jerusalem_n and_o make_v it_o the_o seat_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o seem_v most_o proper_o to_o claim_v this_o title_n second_o because_o solomon_n be_v bear_v to_o david●_n ●_z when_o he_o be_v king_n in_o jerusalem_n and_o therefore_o this_o may_v be_v add_v to_o distinguish_v he_o from_o those_o son_n that_o be_v bear_v to_o david_n when_o he_o be_v only_o king_n in_o hebron_n thiraly_n because_o whatever_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o solomon_n as_o king_n in_o jerusalem_n may_v be_v more_o pertinent_o bring_v in_o at_o v_o 12._o of_o this_o chapter_n and_o therefore_o since_o david_n memory_n may_v be_v a_o little_a more_o emphatical_o celebrate_v here_o without_o wrong_n to_o his_o son_n it_o can_v be_v no_o great_a fault_n to_o do_v it_o 5._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d seem_v sometime_o to_o imply_v a_o notion_n of_o lie_v or_o deceitfulness_n and_o so_o it_o be_v use_v as_o
