An humble heart, & this is wrought by crosses. A relenting heart, and this is swayed by counsell. A confident, resolued heart, and this is inlarged and continually raised by heavenly meditations, and desires, to a higher measure of gladnesse. But as the heart is deceitfull aboue all things: so the ioy which it affecteth, may be soonest mistaken. The laughter of the foole, the selfe pleasing of the humorist, the merriments of the vainely-affected, the May-games of the multitude, the preferment of the ambitious, the conquest of the revengfull, and the gaine of the covetous, are commonly presented to our fancies, vnder the title of ioy and gladnesse, but (alas) they come not neere the heart, or if they fret so deepe, it is but to stupify, and rot it. |
an humble heart, & this is wrought by Crosses. A relenting heart, and this is swayed by counsel. A confident, resolved heart, and this is enlarged and continually raised by heavenly meditations, and Desires, to a higher measure of gladness. But as the heart is deceitful above all things: so the joy which it affects, may be soonest mistaken. The laughter of the fool, the self pleasing of the humorist, the merriments of the vainely-affected, the May-games of the multitude, the preferment of the ambitious, the conquest of the revengeful, and the gain of the covetous, Are commonly presented to our fancies, under the title of joy and gladness, but (alas) they come not near the heart, or if they fret so deep, it is but to stupify, and rot it. |
