Oh then we had need lose no opportunity of seeking God, for He will not be always found. And this is just with God; for God often seeks unto us when we will not be found, and therefore it is just that He should not be found when we seek Him.
1And then lastly, When we seek him too late. There may be a seeking of God too late. Seek Him while He may be found. Oh then we had need lose no opportunity of seeking God, for He will not be alwaies found. And this is just with God; for God often seeks unto us when we will not be found, and therefore it is just that He should not be found when we seek Him.

1When the Saints of God seek Him in a holy way, He is presently found. Esa. 58.9. They shall cry and he shall say, here I am: Perhaps they do not take notice of God, he is many times with us and standeth by us, He is present and we do not know that he is there; But now that we may know that he is there, he makes that promise, that when we seek him as we ought to seek him, he will say, here I am.
