William Secker says - (Our Passing Bell)

"Every man's passing bell hangs in his own steeple.
Take him in his 4 elements, of earth, air, fire, and water.
In the earth, he is fleeting dust;
in the air, he is a disappearing vapour;
in the water, he is a breaking bubble;
and in the fire, he is as consuming smoke.
Many think not of living any holier, till they can live no longer."
The Nonsuch Professor p.118

For who knoweth what is good for man in this life,

all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow?

for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 6:12
