For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing at ⟨p. 148⟩all, neither have they any more a reward: for their remembrance is forgotten. Also their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished, and they have no more portion for ever in all that is done under the Sun.
For the lyuing know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing at ⟨p. 148⟩all, neyther haue they any more a rewarde: for their remembraunce is forgotten. Also their loue and their hatred and their enuy is now perished, and they haue no more portion for euer in all that is done vnder the Sunne.
The living (saith he) know they shall die,1 & therefore in their life they have this hope. Let them not therefore put of from day to day to work and to do well, like fools & maycockes, which always look on other mens examples, and will never give any onset by themselves, before they see other begin to do well.
