To seek.
To seeke.
He is come: to what purpose? Ecce compassionem; to seek. All the days of his flesh upon earth he went about seeking souls. He went to Samaria to seek the woman, to Bethany to seek Mary, to Capernaum to seek the Centurion, to Jericho to seek Zacheus. O what is a man, and the Son of man, that the Son of God should thus hunt after him! We sought not him. lThe wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seek after God. Behold, he seeks us. We would not call upon him, he sends Ambassadors to beseech us. mWe pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God. Indeed we cannot seek him, till he first find us. Oportuit viam inuenire errantes, errantes enim nequeunt inuenire viam. If the nWay had not found us, we should never have found the Way. I oe his mercie: Non solum redeuntem suscipit, sed perditum quarit. How joyful will he be to find us, that is thus careful to seek us!

Hee went to Samaria to seeke the woman, to Bethany to seeke Mary, to Capernaum to seeke the Centurion, to Iericho to seeke Zacheus. O what is a man, and the Sonne of man, that the Sonne of God should thus hunt after him! Wee sought not him.
