None? Nunquid quia male quasivit Dominus? Was there any error in his search? Men often seek Bona, good things, non bene, not in a good manner. Either they fail in their Quando, as Joseph sought Christ after a days journey; whereas he is too precious to be missed one hour:1 They shall seek thee Tempore inveniendi, when thou mayest be found. Or in the right Ubi: as Mary sought her Son in Cognatione Carnis, among her kindred; who was in Domo Patris,2 in the Temple. So the Papists seek now him in Pictures, who promised to be found in the Scriptures. Or in their Quomodo, as they that seek aliud pro illo, aliud prae illo, another instead of him, another besides him, another with him, another before him, which they do not seek for him. All these seek and miss, because they seek amiss. The world is commonly mistaken in their search: Quaerunt bona locis non suis, they seek for things out of their proper orbs. Men seek Honour in Pride, whereas Honour is to be found in Humility. They seek reputation in bloody revenge; alas, that is to be found in Patience: It is the glory of a man to pass by an offence. They seek content in Riches, which is as if ⟨p. 33⟩one should seek for fresh water in the midst of the Sea.

All these seeke and misse, because they seeke amisse. The world is commonly mistaken in their search: Quaerunt bona locis non suis, they seeke for things out of their proper orbes.
