<p class="tab-1">In this chapter we have, I. The inscription, or title of the book, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.1" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.1">Eccl. 1:1</a>. II. The general doctrine of the vanity of the creature laid down (<a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.2" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.2">Eccl. 1:2</a>) and explained, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.3" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.3">Eccl. 1:3</a>. III. The proof of this doctrine, taken, 1. From the shortness of human life and the multitude of births and burials in this life, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.4" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.4">Eccl. 1:4</a>. 2. From the inconstant nature, and constant revolutions, of all the creatures, and the perpetual flux and reflux they are in, the sun, wind, and water, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.5-Eccl.1.7" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.5-Eccl.1.7">Eccl. 1:5-7</a>. 3. From the abundant toil man has about them and the little satisfaction he has in them, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.8" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.8">Eccl. 1:8</a>. 4. From the return of the same things again, which shows the end of all perfection, and that the stock is exhausted, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.9,Eccl.1.10" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.9,Eccl.1.10"><span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.9">Eccl. 1:9</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.10">10</span></a>. 5. From the oblivion to which all things are condemned, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.11" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.11">Eccl. 1:11</a>. IV. The first instance of the vanity of man’s knowledge, and all the parts of learning, especially natural philosophy and politics. Observe, 1. The trial Solomon made of these, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.12,Eccl.1.13,Eccl.1.16,Eccl.1.17" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.12,Eccl.1.13,Eccl.1.16,Eccl.1.17"><span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.12">Eccl. 1:12</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.13">13</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.16">16</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.17">17</span></a>. 2. His judgment of them, that all is vanity, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.14" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.14">Eccl. 1:14</a>. For, (1.) There is labour in getting knowledge, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.13" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.13">Eccl. 1:13</a>. (2.) There is little good to be done with it, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.15" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.15">Eccl. 1:15</a>. (3.) There is no satisfaction in it, <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.1.18" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.1.18">Eccl. 1:18</a>. And, if this is vanity and vexation, all other things in this world, being much inferior to it in dignity and worth, must needs be so too. A great scholar cannot be happy unless he be a true saint.</p>
