Book Seven of A Happy Life is a philosophical treatise written by Lactantius, a Christian author and advisor to the Roman Emperor Constantine. In this book, Lactantius explores the concept of happiness and how it can be achieved through the pursuit of virtue and the avoidance of vice. He argues that true happiness can only be found in a life lived according to God's will and that material possessions and worldly pleasures are ultimately unsatisfying. Lactantius draws on the teachings of the Bible and classical philosophy to support his arguments and provides practical advice for living a happy and virtuous life. This book is an important work of Christian philosophy and provides insight into the beliefs and values of early Christianity.But, test any one should think this incredible, I will show how it will come to pass. First, the kingdom will be enlarged, and the chief power, dispersed among many and divided, [8] will be diminished. Then civil discords will perpetually be sown; nor will there be any rest from deadly wars, until ten kings arise at the same time, who will divide the world, not to govern, but to consume it. These, having increased their armies to an immense extent, and having deserted the cultivation of the fields, which is the beginning of overthrow and disaster, will lay waste and break in pieces and consume all things.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
