And foolishness remaineth in their hearts until they dye.
And foolishnes remayneth in their hartes vntill they dye.
1That is, they die without having done any work, even as though they had never lived. They are like a shadow in this life, profitable to no body. None enjoyeth any part of their service or goodness. And that they hope after, is prevented by death. So their end is nothing but death: they leave no goodness for posterity. But do thou so order thy life, that thou seek to be merry, and to do ⟨p. 147⟩good unto others.
