living

I wil walke before the LORD: in the land of the liuing.

I cried vnto thee, O LORD, I said, Thou art my refuge, and my portion in the land of the liuing.

And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall no man liuing be iustified.

1611 marginal noteExod. 34.7. rom.3.20 galat.2.16.

Thou openest thine hand: and satisfiest the desire of euery liuing thing.

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead, more then the liuing which are yet aliue.

1611 marginal noteIob 3.17. &c.

I considered all the liuing which walke vnder the sunne, with the second child that shall stand vp in his stead.

For what hath the wise more then the foole? what hath the poore, that knoweth to walke before the liuing?

¶ It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the liuing will lay it to his heart.

¶ For to him that is ioyned to all the liuing, there is hope: for a liuing dogge is better then a dead Lion.

For the liuing know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither haue they any more a reward, for the memorie of them is forgotten.
