Ecclesiastes 5:18

Behold that which I have seen That is, learned by study and experience; it is good and comely Good, or comfortable to a man's self, and comely, or amiable in the eyes of other men, as penuriousness is base and dishonourable; for one to enjoy the good of his labour Both for the constant supply of all the necessities of nature, and for the entertainment of his friends, and the relief of his poor neighbours; all the days of his life All the time God shall be pleased to continue him in this world. For it is his portion This is all that falls to his share of the good things of this life. It is his portion of worldly goods: if a truly pious man, he hath a better portion in heaven. This liberty is given him by God, and this is the best advantage, as to this life, which he can make of them.
