The Third Note is this,1 That those that seek aright will continue seeking God till he comes and rains Righteousness. There is an excellent Scripture in Psalm. 101. 2. 2saith David, I will behave my self wisely in a perfect way; O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk in my house with a perfect heart. As if the Prophet should say, Why Lord, 'tis thy presence I desire more than a thousand worlds, and I'll endeavour to behave my self in my house, in my family, not only in the presence of others, but in my family, in the most perfect way I can: Lord, when wilt thou come? It seems God did not come and manifest Himself presently: though David did behave himself in a perfect way in his house, yet David professes he would wait still. There's many Scriptures may be given for this, and many arguments why a gracious heart will not leave over seeking till the Lord comes.
