3. If we are prizers of Christ, then we shall not grutch at any pains to get† him. He who prizeth gold, will dig for it in the Mine, Psa. 63. 8. My Soul followeth hard after God. Plutarch reports of the Gauls, an ancient people in France, after they had tasted the sweet wine of the Italian Grape, they enquired after the country, and never rested till they had arrived at it. He in whose eye Christ is precious, never rests till he hath gotten Christ, Cant. 3. 1, 2, 4. I sought him whom my soul loveth, I held him, and would no• let him go.
