1The effect of this place is to comfort and exhort them which are troubled with worldly affairs, next to rebuke those which are a let and hindrance, that wise and godly mens counsels go not forward, as he began with the example of a poor man, that wisely brought a great matter to pass, but as soon as the benefit was past, it was forgotten. For all present estate of men as was said before, is despised. Therefore Solomon perceiving this matter, saith: weary not your selves, you can bring the world to none other pass, nor yet the men therein. If matters proceed according to your good devise, commit them unto God.
