Now when we seek God in this wise, it is not too come directly unto him, but only too say, Lo I am well affected unto GOD, I am one of those which seek him.
Nowe when wee seeke God in this wyse, it is not too come directly vntoo him, but onely too say, Loe I am well affected vntoo GOD, I am one of those which seeke him.
And in deed, when God goeth about to draw us unto him by his word, how may we be able sufficiently enough to understand so notable a benefit? Wherefore let this doctrine be well marked, seeing it is so very necessary to correct and amend our so great villainous malice and unthankfulness? and that we might hereafter learn to praise God, because it hath pleased him to make us partakers of this inestimable treasure, to wit, the doctrine of salvation: that his meaning is to rule & order our life, that we might not be like wretched strayed sheep, to be cast down headlong into the bottomless pit of hell. Here is likewise an ardent affection expressed in this saying. That David arose at midnight. As if he should have said, that the day was not sufficient enough for him, but that in the time of his quiet test, he lifted up his mind into heaven to give thanks unto God. In this he signifieth that he continued praising of God without wearisomeness.
