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.

Now let vs consider if wee bee in the number of those, that seeke after heauen. There are found many, that seeke for things of this life, and change countries to make themselues rich: But how many haue come to seeke the word? nay when they haue it brought to their dore they do contemne it, these are far from being raised with CHRIST.

There are 2 things in seeking 1 Knowledge. 2 Practise.

Now let us examine whether our ears are bored, and whether we gape for knowledge, as the earth doth for rain: So saith David, when he was in the wilderness pursued by Saul, O how have I desired to ¹come unto thy Tabernacle! though he knew never so much. Let us labour to be in the number of these: but if we have been slack in this, then let us see what we have been in the other, for it is easier to know the will of God, then to practise it.

Now let vs examine whether our eares are bored, and whether wee gape for knowledge, as the earth doth for raine: So saith Dauid, when hee was in the wildernesse persued by Saul, O how haue I desired to ¹come vnto thy Tabernacle! though hee knew neuer so much. Let vs labour to bee in the number of these: but if we haue bene slacke in this, then let vs see what we haue bene in the other, for it is easier to know the will of God, then to practise it.
