What the Fathers say

Ecclesiastes 8:7

Western Saints

Bonaventure

And this opportunity is in the present time; and he shows this to be in the present time, showing the future time to be perilous, because it cannot be foreseen: whence he said: He who is ignorant of things past, and things to come he can know by no messenger, because the future can be known far less than the past: above, chapter 7: "Who can tell him what shall be after him?"
