2. To beseech you to labour for the divine, heavenly, and blessed self-seeking mentioned in the beginning of the Sermon: 1Physicians when they see men bleed immoderately at the nose, will let them blood in another vein, that so they may make a diversion, and thereby stop the bleeding. Oh that God would use me this day, as his instrument, to make a most glorious and most happy diversion, and to turn you all from self-seekers, into Christ-seekers!

Oh how happy would London be, if it could be said of it; All thy Magistrates, Ministers, and private people, seek the things of Christ more vigorously and cordially then they do their own things.
