Do not all things go. &c.
Doo not all thinges goe. &c.
HE repeateth that he said before in the first chapter, The sun riseth and ⟨p. 98⟩setteth, and draweth to his place where he riseth.1 The Rivers return to the place from whence they flowed. One generation passeth away &c. All things return whence they came. At length all things perish. Mans life, kingdoms, and whatsoever else belongeth to man, returneth from whence it came, from the earth to the earth, even as the wind bloweth to and fro, and as the sun returneth to the place where he arose. This therefore is Solomons meaning, that we must let go care and thought for things to come, and enjoy the things present. Therefore he goeth on.

One generation passeth away &c. All thinges returne whence they came. At length all thinges perish. Mans lyfe, kingdomes, and whatsoeuer els belongeth to man, returneth from whence it came, from ye earth to the earth, euen as the winde bloweth to and fro, and as the sonne returneth to ye place where he arose. This therefore is Salomons meaning, yt we must let go care and thought for thinges to come, and enioye the thinges present. Therefore he goeth on.
