19 For it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, euen one condition vnto them both: as the one dyeth so dyeth the other, yea they haue both one maner of breath: so that in this a man hath no preeminence aboue a beast, but are all subdued vnto vanitie. 20 They go all vnto one place: for as they be all of dust, so shall they all turne vnto dust agayne. 21 Who knoweth the spirite of man that goeth vpwarde, & the breath of the beast that goeth downe to the earth? 22 Wherfore I perceaue that there is nothyng better for a man then to be ioyfull in his labour, for that is his portion: But who wyll bryng hym to see the thyng that shall come after hym?
