CHAP. VII. From vers. 1. to vers. 13.

[World 3001] [Solomon 12] SOLOMON after the building of the house of the Lord buildeth his [Solomon 13] own house in Jerusalem, and buildeth a summer house in Lebanon, and an [Solomon 14] house for Pharaohs Daughter and his own Throne, so sumptuous as there was [Solomon 15] not the like: And thus doth he take up twenty years in this kind of work in [Solomon 16] building the house of the Lord, and his own houses. His wisdom, power, [Solomon 17] [Solomon 18] peace, and magnificence exceeding all Kings upon earth, did make him not on∣ly [Solomon 19] renowned among all people▪ but also in these he became a type of Christ. [Solomon 20] Thus high in all eminencies and perfections that earth could afford did the [Solomon 21] Lord exalt him, and yet afterward suffered him so fouly to fall, that he like [Solomon 22] Adam in happiness might exemplifie, that no earthly felicity can be durable, and [Solomon 23] that here is nothing to be trusted to, but all things vanity, but the Kingdom [Solomon 24] that is not of this world.
