Ecclesiastes — Argument

Salomón, as a preacher & one that desired to instruct all in the way of salvation, describeth the deceivable vanities of this world, that man should not be addicted to any thing under the sun, but rather inflamed with the desire of the heavenlie life: therefore he confuteth their opinions, which set their felicity, either in knowledge, or in pleasures, or in dignity & riches, shewing that man’s true felicity consisteth in that that he is united with God and shal enjoy his presence: so that all other things must be rejected, save in as much as they further us to attain to this heavenly treasure, which is sure and permanent, and can not be found in any other save in God alone.
