The Bible-Work, Vol. 5: The Old Testament

Excerpt from The Bible-Work They pass the thoughts of the heart, comes nearer to the true sense. The imaginations of their heart, in the sense of their wicked devices, over?ow from their very abundance. The original words seem to demand this construe tion. C. There is no felicity in what the world adores that wherein God Himself is happy, and the holy angels are happy, and in whose defect the devils are unhappy, that dare I call happiness; whatsoever the world terms happiness is to me an apparition or neat delu sion, wherein there is no more of happiness than the name. Browne.
