I will yet be sought of the house of Israel, to perform it unto them. But as touching the obtaining of an heart to seek him, thus God is found of us before we seek him; according to that, Es. 65. 1. I have been found of them that sought me not: witness Saul marching with a commission from the Priests to Damascus, to bind all that called on the name of Jesus.
