The State of Man
In this chapter, the author makes four observations concerning the state of
man.
- Good and bad men fare pretty much alike.
- Death ends all employment and enjoyment in this world; therefore, we
should enjoy it while we can.
- God's providence often changes the best of man's endeavors. Problems
often occur in life when we least expect them.
- Wisdom often makes men very useful, yet sometimes gains them very
little respect. Persons of great merit are often slighted.
Knowing all of this, what is there in this world that should make us fond of
it?
