In
what
way
man
should
be
enjoyed
For
if
we
find
our
happiness
complete
in
one
another
,
we
stop
short
upon
the
road
,
and
place
our
hope
of
happiness
in
man
or
angel
.
Now
the
proud
man
and
the
proud
angel
arrogate
this
to
themselves
,
and
are
glad
to
have
the
hope
of
others
fixed
upon
them
.
But
,
on
the
contrary
,
the
holy
man
and
the
holy
angel
,
even
when
we
are
weary
and
anxious
to
stay
with
them
and
rest
in
them
,
set
themselves
to
recruit
our
energies
with
the
provision
which
they
have
received
of
God
for
us
or
for
themselves
;
and
then
urge
us
thus
refreshed
to
go
on
our
way
towards
Him
,
in
the
enjoyment
of
whom
we
find
our
common
happiness
.
For
even
the
apostle
exclaims
, "
Was
Paul
crucified
for
you
?
Or
were
ye
baptized
in
the
name
of
Paul
?"
And
again
: "
Neither
is
he
that
planteth
anything
,
neither
he
that
watereth
;
but
God
that
giveth
the
increase
."
And
the
angel
admonisheth
the
man
who
is
about
to
worship
him
,
that
he
should
rather
worship
Him
who
is
his
Master
,
and
under
whom
he
himself
is
a
fellow-servant
.
But
when
you
have
joy
of
a
man
in
God
,
it
is
God
rather
than
man
that
you
enjoy
.
For
you
enjoy
Him
by
whom
you
are
made
happy
,
and
you
rejoice
to
have
come
to
Him
in
whose
presence
you
place
your
hope
of
joy
.
And
accordingly
,
Paul
says
to
Philemon
, "
Yea
,
brother
,
let
me
have
joy
of
thee
in
the
Lord
."
For
if
he
had
not
added
"
in
the
Lord
,"
but
had
only
said
, "
Let
me
have
joy
of
thee
,"
he
would
have
implied
that
he
fixed
his
hope
of
happiness
upon
him
,
although
even
in
the
immediate
context
to
"
enjoy
"
is
used
in
the
sense
of
to
"
use
with
delight
."
For
when
the
thing
that
we
love
is
near
us
,
it
is
a
matter
of
course
that
it
should
bring
delight
with
it
.
And
if
you
pass
beyond
this
delight
,
and
make
it
a
means
to
that
which
you
are
permanently
to
rest
in
,
you
are
using
it
,
and
it
is
an
abuse
of
language
to
say
that
you
enjoy
it
.
But
if
you
cling
to
it
,
and
rest
in
it
,
finding
your
happiness
complete
in
it
,
then
you
may
be
truly
and
properly
said
to
enjoy
it
.
And
this
we
must
never
do
except
in
the
case
of
the
Blessed
Trinity
,
who
is
the
Supreme
and
Unchangeable
God
.
