Hi James. Ecclesiasticus is an apocryphal book, i.e. one of the many books that is used by some churches as part of the Bible but was not deemed worthy to be incorporated into the Canon of Scripture we have in the KJV. Many tests were applied to each Bible Book, however some were found wanting & therefore excluded - and these excluded books are known as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical Books (or, 'Second Canon' Books).
This KJB Online website provides those apocryphal books for you to peruse. You will need to click on 'More' at the Main Page & then scroll down to Standard King James Bible Apocrypha & find the list of those books therein. However, on reading the reference you shared, what the Dean gave in his lesson, I was surprised by the portion that he chose to read at a funeral service; though he would have had his purpose for doing so.
Lesson from Ecclesiasticus CH 43 verses 11-26 Any Bibles I have are different spellings--
Ecclesiastes and only have 12 chapters. Were would I find the version the Dean read ?
Regards James.
