Here is first of all an Application, and obedience from Application; they be words of particular Application: Thy face will I seek. God had given him a ground, Seek ye my face, his heart makes the Application, Thy face I will seek, applying the general encouragement to himself in particular. So that you may observe hence that, The ground of all obedience, of all holy intercourse 1with God, is a Spirit of Application.

- 1Observ. The ground of obedience, application.
Applying the truths of God, though (generally spoken) to our selves in particular. It is spoken here in the plural number, Seek ye my face; but the general implies the particular, as London is in England, Seek ye my face, all ye that are the people of God; but I am one of them: what though I be not named? (that tenet in Popery is against sense) when a man is condemned by the law, is his name in the law? It is against such a fact; he is a Malefactor: And so the particular is included in the general, Seek ye my face. David knew that, reason taught him that, and not Religion.
