this_o will_v do_v they_o much_o good_a they_o shall_v not_o be_v drown_v and_o swallow_a up_o in_o earthly_a care_n and_o pleasure_n now_o he_o come_v to_o the_o other_o part_n i_o turn_v say_v he_o to_o behold_v wisdom_n and_o madness_n and_o folly_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v do_v he_o not_o behold_v wisdom_n before_o compare_v she_o with_o madness_n and_o folly_n why_o do_v he_o then_o now_o turn_v to_o behold_v she_o again_o he_o do_v behold_v wisdom_n before_o and_o do_v search_v she_o out_o by_o herself_o &_o find_v much_o indignation_n and_o sorrow_n now_o he_o do_v behold_v what_o

proceed_v any_o further_a he_o prevent_v a_o objection_n for_o it_o may_v be_v say_v who_o be_v solomon_n that_o we_o shall_v stand_v to_o his_o sentence_n be_v his_o experience_n so_o perfect_a above_o all_o other_o to_o this_o he_o make_v answer_v what_o shall_v the_o man_n do_v which_o shall_v follow_v the_o king_n that_o be_v which_o will_v search_v out_o matter_n which_o he_o have_v search_v and_o he_o add_v even_o that_o which_o they_o have_v do_v already_o but_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n do_v bear_v to_o say_v even_o that_o which_o be_v do_v already_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v let_v any_o man_n what_o soever_o he_o be_v under_o heaven_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o follow_v i_o and_o to_o make_v trial_n in_o any_o one_o thing_n he_o shall_v not_o go_v beyond_o i_o he_o shall_v do_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v already_o do_v when_o he_o say_v who_o be_v the_o man_n it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v all_o king_n prince_n rich_a and_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o earth_n join_v together_o can_v not_o match_v he_o god_n make_v he_o even_o for_o the_o purpose_n such_o as_o he_o never_o make_v any_o before_n nor_o after_o he_o then_o i_o see_v say_v he_o that_o there_o be_v profit_n in_o wisdom_n more_o than_o in_o folly_n as_o there_o be_v profit_n in_o light_n more_o than_o in_o darkness_n the_o wise_a man_n eye_n be_v

in_o it_o but_o yet_o all_o vanity_n it_o be_v but_o his_o portion_n for_o the_o present_a time_n so_o now_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o do_v also_o find_v profit_n in_o wisdom_n be_v thus_o temper_v nevertheless_o all_o be_v but_o vanity_n as_o he_o show_v by_o reason_n but_o first_o see_v how_o he_o do_v lay_v open_a the_o commodity_n of_o wisdom_n above_o folly_n by_o a_o comparison_n it_o be_v so_o much_o more_o beneficial_a and_o good_a as_o the_o light_n be_v above_o the_o darkness_n compare_v then_o these_o two_o the_o light_n and_o the_o darkness_n and_o you_o have_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o other_o it_o be_v not_o in_o every_o man_n power_n to_o match_v wisdom_n and_o folly_n together_o for_o how_o shall_v man_n judge_v of_o that_o which_o they_o know_v not_o nor_o never_o see_v they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o folly_n but_o wisdom_n be_v hide_v from_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o give_v a_o rule_n which_o be_v common_a all_o man_n can_v tell_v what_o profit_n there_o be_v in_o light_n above_o darkness_n and_o he_o show_v that_o thereby_o we_o may_v take_v a_o just_a measure_n what_o profit_n there_o be_v in_o wisdom_n more_o than_o in_o folly_n when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v as_o in_o the_o light_n above_o the_o darkness_n well_o then_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o rule_n which_o he_o give_v to_o take_v the_o true_a measure_n and_o to_o scan_v this_o matter_n withal_o because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o possess_v wisdom_n but_o some_o have_v one_o piece_n and_o some_o a_o other_o more_o than_o the_o common_a sort_n but_o we_o enjoy_v the_o light_n and_o be_v deprive_v thereof_o eftsoon_o by_o the_o dark_a this_o be_v common_a to_o the_o fool_n and_o to_o the_o wise_a he_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n do_v not_o stumble_v for_o it_o show_v he_o his_o way_n he_o that_o go_v in_o the_o dark_a know_v not_o whether_o he_o go_v he_o step_v into_o the_o ditch_n the_o light_n be_v comfortable_a and_o show_v unto_o a_o man_n many_o cheerful_a and_o delightsome_a thing_n darkness_n be_v doleful_a and_o uncomfortable_a cover_v the_o beauty_n of_o all_o goodly_a thing_n when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o by_o the_o light_a man_n see_v to_o order_v their_o work_n and_o do_v it_o well_o in_o the_o dark_a they_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o mar_v that_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n we_o see_v that_o the_o eye_n be_v y_z e_z light_n of_o the_o body_n they_o be_v place_v above_o in_o the_o head_n as_o in_o a_o watch_n to_o be_v and_o so_o behold_v round_o about_o and_o a_o far_o of_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a to_o be_v get_v they_o show_v where_o the_o way_n lie_v towards_o it_o if_o any_o danger_n approach_n they_o tell_v how_o to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v the_o same_o to_o this_o he_o compare_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a when_o he_o say_v the_o wise_a man_n eye_n be_v in_o his_o head_n but_o he_o liken_v a_o fool_n to_o a_o blind_a man_n the_o fool_n say_v he_o do_v walk_v in_o darkness_n then_o we_o may_v see_v his_o mind_n be_v this_o a_o wise_a man_n touch_v y_o e_o matter_n of_o this_o world_n for_o he_o speak_v here_o but_o of_o the_o worldly_a wisdom_n which_o can_v see_v no_o

all_o his_o way_n he_o do_v eschew_v danger_n mischief_n inconvenience_n and_o every_o hurtful_a thing_n he_o procure_v commodity_n on_o all_o side_n he_o have_v delight_n &_o pleasure_n in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n the_o fool_n be_v blind_a &_o if_o he_o have_v not_o one_o which_o have_v eye_n to_o lead_v he_o fall_v into_o the_o ditch_n on_o every_o side_n he_o dash_v his_o head_n against_o every_o post_n he_o wrap_v himself_o among_o bush_n and_o brier_n and_o be_v rend_v and_o tear_v if_o he_o struggle_v out_o he_o be_v never_o the_o near_a because_o he_o be_v by_o and_o by_o in_o new_a danger_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v what_o be_v the_o prosite_a of_o wisdom_n above_o folly_n let_v we_o note_v here_o then_o first_o that_o solomon_n do_v not_o condemn_v humane_a wisdom_n but_o commend_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n profitable_a when_o it_o be_v right_o use_v as_o contain_v itself_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o worldly_a matter_n for_o when_o she_o meddle_v with_o heavenly_a

heavenly_a thing_n she_o be_v stark_o blind_a and_o a_o very_a mad_a bedlam_n condemn_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n &_o spiritual_a 2._o mystery_n to_o be_v folly_n because_o they_o agree_v not_o with_o she_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v little_a marvel_n though_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o this_o world_n make_v wonderful_a account_n of_o their_o wisdom_n they_o take_v

foolish_a and_o noisome_a lust_n which_o drown_v man_n in_o destruction_n &_o perdition_n for_o the_o love_n of_o money_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a which_o while_o some_o have_v lust_v
