Thus he saith: Brother, you are entering the way of all flesh. Al y• sons of Adam are heirs of this sentence of God upon Adam, thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return. Man that is borne of woman, is of short continuance, and full of trouble. He shooteth forth as a flour, & is cut down: he vanisheth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
