Some consider this as the cavil of an infidel objector,
equivalent to the Epicurean maxim, {Ede, bibe, lude; post
mortem nulla voluptas,} "Eat, drink, and play; there is no
pleasure after death." But it may be regarded as a
recommendation of a moderate use of worldly things, with a
cheerful and contented mind; which may justly be considered
as the greatest advantage which can be made of all below the
sun: and amidst all changes, such a frame of mind, if the
result of right principles, may and ought to be preserved;
and it will be the recompence and solace of all our labors
and toils.

Solomon here records the result of his perplexing inquiries
into the affairs of men, and the purposes, providence, and
works of God. And when he examined with great attention and
diligence into the works of God, he found he could neither
comprehend nor explain them; and was persuaded, that no
application or capacity would enable a man to fathom the
depth of the Divine dispensations in this lower world. How
vain, then, are all cavils against Divine providence; when we
can neither understand, nor comprehend it!
