登高則恐懼、行路則悚惶、杏樹放葩、蝗蟲體重、酸豆失其補力、人歸永居之所、弔者往來於衢、

塵返於地、神歸於賦之之上帝、

惟人死而僵、其氣既絕、則安在哉、海水竭盡、河涸而乾、人亦如是、寢而不興、迨天終盡、無復覺寤、長眠不起、

夫大衛在其世、行上帝之旨、既寢、歸其列祖而朽壞、

猶太人曰、今我知爾患鬼、亞伯拉罕死、諸先知亦死、而爾曰、人守我道、永不見死、

我之年數、乃為七旬、如其強健、可至八旬、然其所誇、祇為憂苦、其逝迅速、我去如飛兮、

凡此諸事、我決志詳察之、則知義者與智者、及其作為、咸在上帝之手、或蒙愛、或見惡、人不之知、悉在其前、眾之所遭、初無或異、義者、惡者、仁者、潔者不潔者、祭者不祭者、所遇惟一、善人如何、罪人亦如何、發誓者如何、畏誓者亦如何、眾之所遇皆同、此乃日下諸事之患、人心充盈於惡、畢生狂妄為懷、後惟死者是歸、

夫存乎人者有一死、死後有鞫、

一代既往、一代又來、大地永存、

即念夫聖先知往昔之言、及主救者藉爾之使徒所命、首焉者、宜知季世將有戲謔者出而戲謔、從己慾而行、謂降臨之許安在、自列祖寢時、萬物與初創無異、
