1 They who call themselves the watch, and watch, are not good watchmen for all that. 2 The Bridegroom causeth himself to be the better sought after, by not suffering himself to be found at the first. 3 An answer unto diverse temporisers or time-servers opposed unto the diligence of this spouse: and what we ought to answer them who object the different opinions and diverse interpretations of the Scripture. 4 It is not enough to find that we seek after, but we seize and lay hold on it, & hold it fast: wherein have been diverse faults heretofore and yet are committed. 5 The love of the Bridegroom guideth the spouse to seek after him and to find him. 6 True faith is the only hand which reacheth after the spouse and seizeth on him. 7 In what sense it is said that the spouse hath a mother, unto whose house she retireth her self with her Bridegroom. 8 An application of this doctrine to the controversies of our time. 9 In what sort the Bridegroom is found of the spouse out of this house. 10 In what sense it is said, that the spouse brought in her Bridegroom into the house of her mother. 11 Howe we must first necessarily enter into the house, and afterward into the Chamber of this Mother. 12 An exhortation for the thorough practising of this doctrine.
