CHAP. XII.
1 To thinke on God in youth & not to deferre till age. 7 The
soule returneth to God. 11 Wisedome is the gift of God, and
consisteth in fearing him and keeping his commandements.
1 Remember nowe thy Creator in the daies of
thy youth, whiles the euill daies come not, nor
the yeeres approche, wherein thou shalt say, I haue
no pleasure in them:
2 Whiles the sunne is not darke, nor þe; light,
nor the moone, nor the starres, nor the note cloudes
returne after the raine:
3 When the note keepers of þe; house shal tremble,
& the note strong men shal bow them selues, and
the note grinders shal cease, because they are few, and
they waxe darke that note looke out by þe; windowes:
4 And the note doores shall be shut without by
the base sound of the note grinding, and he shall rise
vp at the voice of the note birde: and all the note daughters
of singing shall be abased.
5 Also they shalbe afraide of the note hie thing,
and feare shalbe in note the way, and the almond tree
shall note flourish, and the note grassehopper shall be a
burden, and concupiscence shall be driuen away:
for man goeth to the house of his age, and the
mourners goe about in the streete.
6 Whiles the note siluer coarde is not lengthened,

broken at the note wel, nor the note wheele broken
at the note cisterne:
7 And dust returne to the earth as it was, and
the note spirit returne to God that gaue it.

is vanitie.
9 And the more wise the Preacher was, the
more he taught the people knowledge, and caused
them to heare, and searched foorth, and prepared
many parables.
10 The Preacher sought to finde out pleasant
wordes, and an vpright writing, euen the wordes
of trueth.
11 The wordes of the wise are like goads, and
like nailes note fastened by the masters of the assemblies,
which are giuen by one note pastour.

many note bookes, and much reading is a wearines of
the flesh.
13 Let vs heare the end of all: feare God and
keepe his commandements: for this is the whole
duetie of man.
14 For God will bring euery worke vnto
iudgement, with euery secret thing, whether it be
good or euill.
