ECCLES. 1.9, 10, 11. 9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be: and that which is done, is that which shall be done: and there is nothing new under the Sun. 10. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. 11. There is no remembrance of former things, neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come, with those that shall come after.
IN these words Solomon showeth us the want of newness in these things under the Sun, and from thence argueth the unprofitableness of the study or knowledge of them to the attaining of true happiness.
