Use 2.1 As we would evidence our selves godly, let us labour for this good knowledge of the Lord: What pains will men take for the achievement of Natural Knowledge! I have read of one Benchorat, who spent forty years in finding out the motion of the Eighth Sphere; what pains then should we take in finding out the knowledge of God in Christ? There must be digging and searching for it, as one would search for a vein of silver, Pro. 2. 3. If thou seekest her as silver. —Et pluteum coedit,2 & dimorsos sapit ungues.
