Here you see what he understandeth by wisdom, not speculation, but the rule and governance of matters, industry, or congruence of doing, Industry or dexterity in doing of things. When all things are done in order and in time. Even as he appointed twelve Captains over the land, their diet, and horses &c. This he calleth to weary him self in wisdom. This wearisomeness and portion he leaneth to a man that hath taken no pains in the same, yea that more unhappy is, to a man that careth not for it, and forgetteth it. When I have taken all this pain saith he, I leave it to one that contemneth it, or spoileth it, which thing surely is a great vanity.
