Then I . Some consider this as the cavil of an infidel objector , equivalent to the Epicurean maxim , Ede , bibe , lude; post mortem nulla voluptas , "Eat , drink , and play; there is no pleasure after death." But it may be regarded as a recommendation of a moderate use of worldly things , with a cheerful and contented mind; which may justly be considered as the greatest advantage which can be made of all below the sun , and amidst all changes , such a frame of mind , if the result of right principles , may and ought to be preserved; and it will be the recompence and solace of all our labours and toils.

When I . Solomon here records the result of his perplexing inquiries into the affairs of men , and the purposes , providence , and works of God. And when he examined with great attention and diligence into the works of God , he found he could neither comprehend nor explain them; and was persuaded , that no application or capacity would enable a man to fathom the depth of the Divine dispensations in this lower world. How vain , then , are all cavils against Divine providence; when we can neither understand , nor comprehend it! Ecclesiastes 8 . 9 , Ecclesiastes 8 . 7 , Ecclesiastes 7 . 25
