The best condition was not to be borne; the next to dye soonest. Such were the conceits of natural men in consideration of the evils of this world. And Cicero is full of such passages in the first of his Tusculans questions. In the last place I meet with a fair translation of this passage of Solomon in Piscator, who sets his translation on the other side to the translations of Junius, & thus it runnes. Sed beatiorē ut risque judicabam eū, qui non videt facta ista mala quae fiunt sub sole. But more happy then both I judged him that hath not seen the evil works that are done under the Sun. For albeit in the Hebrew something more there is, which is not here expressed, to wit, which hath not been. Yet he conceives the last words to contain the full sense of them; and therefore he interprets these words of those who have perished in their Mothers womb, or in their infancy or childhood, not of those who never had any being, perceiving manifestly the foul absurdity of such a speech according to accurate calculation. And Mercer himself professeth that both these expressions are of the same force in Solomon, and so that is more plainly set down in the latter, which is more obscurely expressed in the former, which is a very usual course in Scripture.
