I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.
We live in a wheel of nature where one spoke is uppermost, then another; constant ebbing and flowing, waxing and waning. Every change concerning us is fixed by a supreme power, and we cannot alter what is appointed. So in prosperity, be easy yet not secure, humble and even-minded, neither lifted up with hopes nor cast down with fears.

Commenting on Ecclesiastes 3:1-10
I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men,.... The pains and trouble they are at to get a little wisdom and knowledge, Ecc 1:13; and so to obtain riches and honour, peace and plenty, which sometimes they do obtain, and sometimes not; and when they do, do not keep them long, for there is a time for everything.
I have seen the labour, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. (b) Read .
