Quest. But what is it to seek God diligently?
Answ. 1 When we seek God with all other things under our feet, when all other things are sought in order to this.1 The soul is carried after the seeking of God with a panting and longing desire, as the Hart after the water brooks.
- 1Contemn all for God.
Answ. 2 To seek God early is, to seek him with our whole heart; The heart is not divided in the work,1 every part is employed; as Jehoshaphat, 2 Chron. 20.23. feared and set himself to seek the Lord, he gave his whole self to the duty.

- 1With our whole heart.With our whol heart.
