For among all men living, hope is chosen, for a living dog is better then a dead Lyon.
For among all men lyuing, hope is chosen, for a lyuing dogge is better then a dead Lyon.
BY this place Solomon prepareth an exhortation for us to do good while we are able,1 that we be nothing moved with the ingratitude of the world, but that we hold on in doing our duty, and have a good hope and trust. Because there is hope in all men as long as they live, as if he should say: Do not so contemn or despise this life, that thou either despair or forsake the fellowship of men, for hope or trust is the best thing that is among men. For as long as men are living, there is hope. Therefore we must do as much as we are able. For because of the remnant, we must serve the whole.
