Seek, that is to have a care: for that a man seeketh, he desireth to come unto, and takes care for, and so the Apostle saith: a man must study and muse with himself. So Solomon willeth we should dig, and labour for wisdom, otherwise it is no sign that we are risen with CHRIST.

Seeke, that is to haue a care: for that a man seeketh, he desireth to come vnto, and takes care for, and so the Apostle saith: a man must study and muse with himselfe. So Salomon willeth wee should dig, and labour for wisedome, otherwise it is no signe that we are risen with CHRIST.

Now let us consider if we be in the number of those, that seek after heaven. There are found many, that seek for things of this life, and change countries to make themselves rich: But how many have come to seek the word? nay when they have it brought to their door they do contemn it, these are far from being raised with CHRIST.
