不敢登高、行於途中亦多畏葸、以杏核為可厭、以蟿蟲為重物、生平嗜好、百無一存、人歸窀穸、哀者行於衢。

人本摶土所為、死則返本、人之魂靈為上帝所賦畀、死則歸乎上帝。○

人則異是、始則血衰、既而氣絕、歸於無有。如潦之易竭、如澮之立涸、屈而不伸、寢而不寤、必也彼蒼窮盡之日、斯人有復生之時。

蓋大闢生時、遵上帝旨、卒則與祖同朽、

猶太人曰、吾今知爾憑於鬼、亞伯拉罕死、先知亦然、爾言人守爾道、永不死、

我竭吾心思、詳察百事、知義人智人之所為、咸歸上帝治理、惟觀其人之所值、而上帝之眷顧與否、仍難逆料。萬民所遭、初無或異、義不義、潔不潔、祭不祭、善不善、妄誓不妄誓者、億兆亦同此賦畀。事有深可嘆息者、人生於世、心懷惡而行猖狂、終歸死地。

人固有一死、既死有鞫之事、

世代迭更、大地恆存、

憶聖先知預言、及吾救主使徒之命、當知季世、必有從欲者、戲云、造物以來、列祖云亡、萬物如故、主許復臨、則未之見、
