God loveth nothing almost, therefore he doth not love almost. Therefore, love as thou mayest be loved, or else thy love is lost. Thou must seek as thou mayest find, or else thy labour is lost. They shall seek and find me (saith God) because they shall seek with all their hearts, as in Jeremiah 29. Chapter, and the 13. verse: as though they should not find him though they sought him, unless the sought him with all their hearts.
God loueth nothing almost, therefore he doth not loue almost. Therefore, loue as thou maist be loued, or else thy loue is lost. Thou must seeke as thou maist finde, or else thy labour is lost. They shall seeke and finde me (saith God) because they shall seeke with all their hearts, as in Ieremie 29. Chapter, and the 13. verse: as though they should not finde him though they sought him, vnlesse the sought him with all their hearts.
Naaman is not only commanded to wash himself in Jordan, but to wash himself seven times, and then he shall be healed: So man is not only commanded to obey God, but to obey him while he lives, ⟨p. 945⟩and then he shall be saved.
