teach_v in_o this_o book_n though_o a_o man_n live_v many_o year_n and_o in_o they_o all_o rejoice_v yet_o he_o shall_v remember_v the_o day_n of_o darkness_n because_o they_o be_v many_o all_o that_o

many_o year_n enure_v with_o the_o experience_n of_o these_o matter_n &_o yet_o merry_a at_o his_o heart_n and_o contain_v all_o worldy_a danger_n he_o shall_v see_v in_o deed_n much_o darkness_n that_o be_v misery_n of_o this_o world_n but_o this_o shall_v delight_v he_o that_o he_o can_v set_v they_o light_a as_o one_o know_v and_o perceive_v long_o before_o that_o this_o be_v the_o state_n

that_o he_o have_v describe_v a_o rare_a kind_n of_o bird_n god._n namely_o such_o a_o man_n as_o have_v live_v all_o his_o life_n with_o a_o merry_a heart_n and_o have_v laugh_v at_o the_o trouble_n &_o malice_n of_o the_o world_n than_o he_o join_v to_o a_o kind_n of_o exhortation_n thou_o young_a man_n therefore_o say_v he_o that_o have_v little_a experience_n of_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o will_v live_v meare_o harken_v what_o i_o write_v for_o the_o and_o teach_v thou_o that_o thou_o pass_v not_o thy_o bound_n live_v so_o as_o thou_o may_v contemn_v the_o world_n and_o overcome_v the_o

the_o world_n in_o the_o middle_a of_o the_o broil_n thereof_o but_o so_o as_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a heart_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o adversity_n this_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v attain_v to_o this_o goal_n or_o mark_n to_o have_v a_o quiet_a heart_n in_o the_o middle_a of_o all_o trouble_n enure_v thyself_o with_o trouble_n &_o that_o from_o thy_o childhood_n for_o so_o shall_v thou_o safe_o stand_v all_o storm_n and_o danger_n let_v thy_o heart_n be_v glad_a up_o that_o be_v take_v prosperity_n meary_o when_o it_o come_v and_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o adversity_n when_o god_n send_v it_o thus_o shall_v youth_n be_v bring_v up_o and_o instruct_v and_o unless_o youth_n follow_v such_o a_o admonisher_n he_o shall_v never_o do_v like_o a_o man_n for_o youth_n be_v lead_v altogether_o with_o affection_n &_o be_v unskilful_a which_o unskilfulness_n be_v cause_n that_o it_o can_v not_o bear_v nor_o yield_v hereafter_o to_o the_o naughtiness_n and_o ingratefulnes_n of_o the_o world_n solomon_n therefore_o be_v a_o excellent_a instructor_n of_o youth_n he_o forbid_v not_o joy_n and_o pleasantness_n as_o the_o foolish_a master_n the_o monk_n have_v do_v for_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o of_o young_a man_n to_o make_v block_n and_o as_o anselme_n the_o very_a monk_n of_o all_o other_o say_v to_o set_v a_o great_a tree_n in_o a_o little_a pot_n thus_o these_o monk_n shut_v up_o their_o youth_n in_o a_o coupe_z and_o forbid_v they_o the_o sight_n and_o communication_n of_o man_n because_o they_o shall_v learn_v nor_o perceive_v nothing_o where_o as_o nothing_o be_v more_o dangerous_a for_o youth_n than_o solitariness_n the_o mind_n must_v be_v well_o inform_v with_o good_a understanding_n and_o opinion_n instruct_v that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v with_o the_o company_n and_o familiarity_n of_o naughty_a man_n but_o the_o body_n must_v be_v conversant_a in_o every_o thing_n we_o must_v behold_v the_o world_n and_o hear_v it_o only_o see_v that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a master_n and_o teacher_n therefore_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o youth_n be_v not_o in_o sorrow_n and_o solitariness_n for_o mirth_n be_v as_o necessary_a for_o youth_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_v for_o the_o body_n do_v battle_n through_o mirth_n of_o mind_n and_o we_o must_v not_o begin_v with_o the_o education_n of_o the_o body_n but_o with_o the_o mind_n that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v when_o the_o mind_n be_v well_o teach_v and_o enfourm_v there_o the_o body_n be_v soon_o well_o govern_v we_o must_v therefore_o bear_v with_o youth_n to_o be_v merry_a and_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o gladsomeness_n of_o heart_n only_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o they_o be_v not_o

rather_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o same_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o heart_n lord._n this_o place_n cause_v i_o to_o think_v that_o all_o this_o chapter_n from_o the_o beginning_n be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o derision_n and_o scorn_n because_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v after_o the_o way_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n it_o be_v common_o take_v in_o evil_a part_n but_o we_o must_v stick_v to_o the_o argument_n and_o consequence_n of_o the_o text_n this_o it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o say_v when_o thine_o heart_n be_v well_o teach_v and_o instruct_v no_o joy_n or_o mirth_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o hurt_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a joy_n and_o no_o such_o naughty_a and_o woeful_a mirth_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o before_o and_o walk_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o thine_o eye_n that_o be_v to_o say_v enjoy_v that_o that_o come_v to_o thy_o sight_n vex_v not_o thyself_o about_o thing_n to_o come_v lest_o thou_o do_v as_o the_o monk_n do_v of_o who_o there_o be_v some_o namely_o syluanus_n the_o monk_n which_o teach_v man_n they_o shall_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n they_o will_v bereave_v youth_n of_o their_o sight_n of_o hear_v of_o taulk_a &_o all_o their_o sense_n and_o shut_v they_o up_o like_o capon_n into_o a_o coupe_z be_v in_o deed_n ungodly_a and_o the_o true_a misanthropi_n that_o be_v hater_n of_o man_n therefore_o if_o thou_o see_v or_o hear_v any_o pleasant_a matter_n enjoy_v it_o so_o thou_o offend_v not_o against_o god_n appoint_v or_o prescribe_v thyself_o no_o rule_n in_o this_o behalf_n but_o enjoy_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n see_v thou_o follow_v not_o the_o perverse_a pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n which_o will_v corrupt_v thy_o mind_n thus_o far_o for_o one_o part_n put_v away_o grief_n out_o of_o thy_o heart_n and_o cause_v evil_a to_o depart_v from_o thy_o flesh_n for_o childhood_n and_o youth_n be_v vanity_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v voluptuousness_n even_o as_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o stay_v

therefore_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o godly_a to_o enjoy_v the_o thing_n present_a and_o not_o to_o be_v trouble_v with_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o this_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v under_o the_o

thus_o hitherto_o solomon_n have_v discourse_v most_o in_o generality_n of_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n now_o follow_v certain_a particular_n the_o four_o chapter_n so_o i_o turn_v and_o consider_v all_o the_o oppression_n that_o be_v wrought_v under_o the_o sun_n &_o behold_v the_o tear_n of_o the_o oppress_a and_o none_o comfort_v they_o nor_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o

of_o man_n device_n that_o be_v the_o mean_n and_o cause_n whereby_o god_n use_v to_o revoke_v we_o from_o our_o counsel_n and_o device_n compel_v we_o to_o use_v those_o thing_n that_o we_o present_o have_v i_o see_v say_v he_o that_o neither_o prince_n nor_o magistrate_n be_v able_a to_o take_v away_o violence_n and_o injury_n from_o among_o man_n yea_o god_n set_v naughty_a dispose_v man_n in_o

they_o be_v compel_v to_o suffer_v and_o by_o who_o god_n hinder_v the_o device_n of_o the_o wise_a i_o see_v also_o how_o judge_n be_v corrupt_v &_o bribe_v man_n and_o how_o tyrant_n oppress_v the_o

wherefore_o i_o praise_v those_o that_o be_v dead_a above_o those_o that_o be_v live_n and_o i_o count_v he_o that_o yet_o be_v unborn_a better_a then_o they_o both_o for_o he_o have_v not_o see_v the_o evil_a work_n that_o be_v wrought_v under_o the_o sun_n here_o again_o these_o fine_a witted_a man_n dispute_v misery_n as_o though_o solomon_n speak_v like_o a_o ungodly_a man_n that_o prefer_v the_o dead_a before_o the_o live_n albeit_o augustine_n treat_v of_o the_o place_n of_o s._n john_n it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o that_o man_n that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v say_v it_o be_v

therefore_o solomon_n say_v well_o in_o this_o place_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o misery_n &_o affliction_n of_o man_n and_o have_v respect_n only_o to_o this_o life_n we_o shall_v praise_v the_o dead_a rather_o than_o the_o live_n a_o man_n be_v better_a to_o be_v dead_a then_o to_o see_v so_o great_a misery_n and_o calamity_n he_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v but_o of_o thing_n do_v under_o the_o sun_n where_o it_o be_v better_a not_o to_o be_v then_o to_o see_v such_o affliction_n of_o man_n which_o thing_n also_o the_o gentile_n perceive_v which_o affirm_v
