Ecclesiastes The vanity of worldly things. The vanity of worldly pleasure and human labor. Necessary change of times — Excellency in God’s works. Vanity is increased by oppression, envy, idleness, covetousness, solitariness, and by wilfulness. Vanities in divine service — Murmuring and riches. The vanity of riches — The conclusion of vanities. Remedies against vanity — The difficulty of getting wisdom. Kings to be respected — Divine providence to be observed. Like things happen to all — God’s providence ruleth over all — Wisdom is better than strength. Of wisdom and folly. Charity — Death — Day of judgment. The Creator to be remembered — The fear of God the chief antidote of vanity.
