A11067	The arte of happines Consisting of three parts, whereof the first searcheth out the happinesse of man. The second, particularly discouers and approues it- The third, sheweth the meanes to attayne and increase it. By Francis Rous.	Rous, Francis, 1579-1659.	1619 (1619)	STC 21338; ESTC S116243	106,766	542

yeeres more perchance not twentie not ten And not much otherwise the Lawyer and Marchant fret out one halfe of their time in Education Labours and Aduentures that they may be rich the other halfe yea peraduenture a very short part of their time remayning And wilt not thou spend so much more time gladly willingly in expectation of an infinite Glorie which no time can end nor measure can limit Surely an endlesse incomparable happinesse is well worthy of a short lifes patience and expectation especially when the same life is so often worne out in expectation oftemporall vncertayne things But indeede wee deceiue our selues in this matter for this is not our disease that we cannot stay but that wee doe not verily see and beleeue that which being beleeued would easily giue vs a patient willingnesse to stay if we beleeued that there were such an vnmatchable felicity prepared for vs wee might indeede somewhat eagerly long to beat it but withall the assured hope of it would support vs ioyfully in the deferring of it For most true is that which is spoken of hope Hope maketh not ashamed that is it suffers not to be disheartned to be confounded but it keepes vp the heart from sinking and makes it beare vp in troubles present by the expectation of ioyes to come And this common experience shewes vs in worldly actions and sufferings for hope hath borne out mankinde through paynes almost intolerable vnto comforts stedfastly seene apprehended by it Wherefore doe not make a fault of the futurenesse of thy happinesse but finde and amend the true fault of thy beliefe hope Yet neither are wee altogether thrust vpon hope but euen in this life haue wee some fruition of this happinesse and the priuiledges thereof For as before euen here haue wee a crany opened by which some beames of the diuine Glory shine into our hearts giue vs a glimpse of that whereof hereafter we shall haue a full inioying They that haue had but such flashes of happinesse haue beene rauished vp in heauenly trances far aboue the world and haue as much despised the world as the world hath despised these ioyes They haue cryed out as men that haue taken possession of true rest and felicitie let vs here build vp our Tabernacles Surely as there is nothing more comfortable to the bodily sight then beholding the Sunne shining in his glorie so nothing can bee more comfortable to the sight of the soule then to behold the Sunne of the Sunne euen that high and purest Light which shineth vpon the Sunne and all other things that shine but especially on Spirits himselfe being a Spirit Againe the very substance of the Spirit in vs is a kinde of heauenly oyle which makes glad not so much the face as the very heart of Man It hath in it a taste and rellish of the Deitie and therefore aboue all other this is the true oile of gladnesse The heart anointed herewith as it finds a light to guide it and a vertue mouing it to good and freeing it from the slauerie of sinne so also it feeleth in it selfe a blessed rest an heauenly Sabbath a ioy glorious and vnspeakable an harmonie peace with God which passeth all vnderstanding Hence come those vehement pangs and expressions of loue ioy vttered by the Spouse of Christ and penned by the wisest of men which flesh knoweth not how to vnderstand but by the flesh but the spirituall Man that discerneth all things fully discerneth and rellisheth them as spirituall truths From the sound of this harmony come those dancings and exultations of many of the sonnes of God who for this ioy of heart haue danced before him who hath filled them with ioy But then flesh and bloud seeing onely the dance and not hearing the musike mocketh and despiseth the effect whereof it sees not the cause But the Beholder of hearts knowes these motions of the heart to be chiefly reasonable and therfore principally allowes them And indeede how should they not be approued since this ioy is from the best and this ioy is in the best and therefore must needs be the very best ioy It is a ioy beyond the reach of mortall power yea beyond the reach of infernall power a ioy which no man nay nothing can take from vs. It is a boord in shipwracke a refuge in trouble a retyring place from the powers of darkenesse Besides these blessings wee haue another blessing the Authour of these and all other euen an vnion with God who is blessednes This blessednes is spirituall seene and felt by the spirituall It is seene by the eye of the soule while it beholds a godly Nature euen the seede of God powred into the heart of Man otherwise wholly polluted with the lust of Generation It is felt chiefely in the will and affections while in them a filiall loue ioy and feare is perceiued toward God who before was regarded as a stranger but now as a father who now is the end and rule of our conuersation but before was put farre below the satisfaction of Lust and Concupiscence And from this vnion the feeling of this vnion proceedes both that strength of Christians that the gates of Hell cannot preuaile against them and that strong confidence that if God kill them yet they will trust in him And why they are assured that God is with them and then they are also as much assured that if God bee with them nothing can bee against them except it bee to bee conquered by them For he that is in vs is stronger then hee or all they that be in the world to this vnion with God we may adde another vnion with the sons of God The first was the vnion of a Father and a Childe and this is a vnion of Brethren for it is a spirituall Brotherhood Euery sonne of God hath all Gods sonnes to his bretheren And as many bretheren so many friends so many louers so many helpers So many that reioyce in his comforts so many that bewaile his troubles so many to incourage him standing so many to raise him being falne so many to aduise him in doubts so many to releeue him in necessities In summe the true children of God euer were and stil are of one heart and minde louing and beloued They account themselues as one therefore no part of this vnitie can lacke what the other part thereof inioyeth Hee that is a son hath in him this loue and hee that hath not this loue in him is not a sonne for he must needes loue his spirituall kindred who is spiritually begotten Hee must needes loue them because of Vnitie because of Vniformitie because of Puritie and because the Spirit which begets him is the Spirit of Loue. And as we haue an interest in our brethren so haue wee in their prayers they stil commend vs to God and many times when our owne deadnesse of heart doth slacke the hand of GOD toward vs their feruency
