head_n 1._o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o seek_v a_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n to_o seek_v after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n this_o we_o shall_v do_v early_o and_o because_o we_o can_v do_v it_o more_o early_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o now_o and_o it_o be_v our_o great_a concern_n to_o get_v a_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n we_o shall_v seek_v now_o to_o know_v god_n and_o christ_n this_o be_v of_o so_o great_a weight_n that_o christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o joh._n 17._o 3_o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o they_o may_v know_v thou_o the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o jesus_n

wretch_n every_o one_o of_o we_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n by_o nature_n and_o by_o practice_n aught_o to_o seek_v reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o to_o make_v he_o our_o friend_n and_o for_o this_o we_o be_v ambassador_n the_o whole_a gospel_n serve_v for_o this_o end_n it_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n 2_o cor._n 5._o 18_o 19_o 20_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n who_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v give_v to_o we_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n unto_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n unto_o they_o and_o have_v commit_v unto_o we_o the_o word_n of_o reconciliation_n now_o then_o we_o be_v ambassador_n for_o christ_n as_o though_o god_n do_v beseech_v you_o by_o we_o we_o pray_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n be_v you_o reconcile_v to_o god_n 3._o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o seek_v communion_n with_o god_n and_o to_o seek_v communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n to_o seek_v he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n in_o his_o public_a ordinance_n institution_n and_o appointment_n to_o seek_v he_o in_o our_o private_a duty_n in_o our_o closert_n to_o have_v close_a communion_n with_o god_n and_o with_o christ_n there_o if_o any_o man_n love_v i_o he_o will_v keep_v my_o word_n and_o my_o father_n will_v love_v he_o and_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o make_v our_o abode_n with_o he_o say_v christ_n joh._n 14._o 23._o so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o lie_v on_o we_o to_o seek_v god_n more_o in_o secret_a duty_n and_o more_o in_o public_a ordinance_n night_n and_o day_n wherever_o we_o be_v to_o have_v further_o rnd_v more_o intimate_a acquaintance_n with_o he_o and_o to_o have_v a_o more_o clear_a interest_n in_o christ_n and_o more_o intimate_a communion_n with_o he_o by_o night_n on_o my_o bed_n say_v the_o spouse_n cant._n 3._o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o i_o seek_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v i_o seek_v he_o on_o her_o bed_n but_o that_o perhaps_o may_v be_v drowsy_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o drowsy_a seek_v and_o i_o find_v he_o not_o what_o then_o i_o will_v rise_v now_o and_o go_v about_o the_o city_n in_o the_o street_n and_o in_o the_o broad_a way_n i_o will_v seek_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v i_o seek_v he_o but_o i_o find_v he_o not_o the_o watchman_n that_o go_v about_o the_o city_n find_v i_o to_o who_o i_o say_v see_v you_o he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a that_o i_o pass_v from_o they_o but_o i_o find_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v i_o hold_v he_o and_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v etc._n etc._n thus_o shall_v we_o seek_v jesus_n christ_n thus_o shall_v we_o seek_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o he_o and_o in_o cant._n 1._o 7._o she_o thus_o bespeak_v the_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v i_o o_o thou_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v where_o thou_o feed_v where_o thou_o make_v thy_o flock_n to_o rest_v at_o noon_n for_o why_o shall_v i_o be_v as_o one_o that_o turn_v aside_o by_o the_o flock_n of_o thy_o companion_n and_o this_o scripture_n i_o mention_v the_o rather_o because_o i_o now_o it_o be_v

the_o most_o uncorrupt_a and_o pure_a way_n of_o communion_n for_o which_o she_o have_v a_o great_a zeal_n to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n 4._o and_o last_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o seek_v the_o eternal_a enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o so_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v he_o in_o his_o glory_n set_v our_o face_n heavenward_o as_o in_o jer._n
