10Is there any thing, whereof it may be sayd, See, this is new? it hath beene already of olde time, which was before vs. 11There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there bee any remembrance of things that are to come, with those that shall come after. 12¶ I the Preacher was king ouer Israel in Ierusalem. 13And I gaue my heart to seeke and search out by wisedome, concerning all things that are done vnder heauen: this sore trauell hath God giuen to the sonnes of man, to be exercised therewith. 14I haue seene all the workes that are done vnder the Sunne, and behold, all is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
