many_o do_v seek_v for_o god_n &_o do_v not_o find_v he_o do_v ask_v &_o not_o receive_v and_o in_o this_o slender_a &_o cold_a desire_n they_o always_o live_v &_o never_o find_v god_n because_o they_o seek_v he_o not_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v seek_v of_o they_o who_o desire_v to_o find_v he_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n you_o 29._o shall_v seek_v i_o and_o find_v i_o because_o you_o shall_v seek_v i_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n this_o be_v the_o second_o way_n of_o dispose_v &_o prepare_v ourselves_o which_o here_o the_o prophet_n note_v that_o be_v when_o we_o seek_v for_o god_n with_o a_o true_a &_o in_o ward_n desire_n &_o with_o labour_n &_o affliction_n of_o heart_n of_o which_o god_n speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n joel_n say_v turn_v you_o unto_o i_o with_o all_o your_o hart_n &_o with_o fast_v &_o with_o weep_v 2._o &_o with_o mourning_n &_o rend_v your_o hart_n &_o not_o yourclothe_n &_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n in_o which_o place_n we_o be_v to_o note_v y_z t_z as_o the_o evil_a which_o outward_o appear_v not_o either_o be_v not_o see_v or_o be_v not_o a_o evil_a indeed_o or_o very_o small_a so_o y_z e_z inward_a affliction_n of_o the_o spirit_n except_o it_o outward_o break_v forth_o &_o do_v also_o afflict_v the_o body_n be_v either_o feign_a or_o very_o small_a but_o that_o which_o do_v so_o mighty_o afflict_v y_z e_o spirit_n that_o it_o do_v also_o afflict_v the_o body_n that_o istru_o &_o indeed_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v affliction_n &_o of_o this_o the_o prophet_n speak_v he_o that_o seek_v god_n with_o such_o a_o affection_n let_v he_o assure_v himself_o y_z t_o god_n will_v not_o hide_v himself_o from_o he_o but_o will_v be_v find_v of_o he_o so_o the_o ninivites_fw-la seek_v he_o when_o they_o fast_v mourn_v &_o be_v clothe_v 3._o with_o sackcloth_n wherefore_o at_o the_o length_n they_o find_v he_o so_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n seek_v he_o as_o he_o testify_v of_o himself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n say_v he_o i_o 10._o daniel_n be_v in_o heaviness_n for_o three_o week_n of_o day_n i_o eat_v no_o pleasant_a bread_n neither_o come_v flesh_n in_o my_o mouth_n neither_o do_v i_o 〈◊〉_d myself_o at_o all_o till_o three_o week_n of_o day_n be_v fulfil_v which_o time_n be_v finish_v he_o faith_n that_o a_o angel_n appear_v unto_o he_o in_o a_o terrible_a shape_n who_o in_o the_o same_o place_n he_o describe_v among_o other_o thing_n say_v fear_v not_o daniel_n for_o from_o the_o first_o day_n that_o thou_o do_v set_v thy_o heart_n to_o understand_v &_o to_o humble_v thyself_o before_o thy_o god_n thy_o word_n be_v hear_v &_o i_o be_o come_v for_o thy_o word_n see_v how_o plain_o in_o this_o place_n the_o scriture_n testify_v what_o devout_a prayer_n can_v do_v when_o as_o corporal_a affliction_n be_v join_v unto_o it_o we_o read_v of_o that_o holy_a evangelicall_a sinner_n that_o be_v drown_v 20._o as_o it_o be_v with_o tear_n she_o seek_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o sepulchre_n wherefore_o she_o receive_v comfort_n before_o all_o other_o because_o before_o all_o other_o she_o seek_v the_o lord_n with_o great_a affection_n but_o what_o do_v i_o speak_v of_o tear_n so_o godly_a when_o as_o the_o sackcloth_n of_o perverse_a and_o wicked_a king_n achab_n can_v so_o move_v the_o divine_a eye_n &_o breast_n as_o to_o revoke_v or_o at_o the_o least_o to_o defer_v the_o sentence_n denounce_v against_o he_o &_o his_o house_n to_o be_v brief_a as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n remember_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v fast_v &_o cry_v unto_o god_n it_o add_v that_o they_o be_v hear_v &_o deliver_v from_o the_o danger_n they_o be_v in_o whereby_o it_o most_o manifest_o apeer_v that_o these_o be_v great_a help_n to_o find_v god_n whereupon_o a_o school_n man_n say_v that_o almost_o no_o grace_n descend_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n except_o it_o ●…e_v by_o prayer_n affliction_n &_o corporal_a tribulation_n there_o be_v many_o kind_n of_o affliction_n arise_v &_o austerene_n of_o life_n most_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n &_o most_o convenient_a to_o obtain_v grace_n by_o which_o take_v their_o original_n from_o the_o great_a grief_n which_o the_o soul_n conceive_v because_o she_o have_v offend_v so_o high_a &_o excellent_a a_o goodness_n &_o also_o from_o the_o impatient_a long_a desire_n of_o the_o soul_n these_o tear_n &_o affliction_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o charity_n &_o humility_n be_v very_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n as_o testify_v the_o prophet_n who_o say_v the_o dead_a that_o 2._o be_v in_o the_o grave_n &_o who_o soul_n be_v out_o of_o their_o body_n give_v unto_o the_o lord_n neither_o praise_n nor_o righteousness_n but_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v vex_v for_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n &_o he_o that_o go_v crooked_o &_o weak_a &_o the_o eye_n that_o fail_v and_o the_o hungry_a soul_n will_v give_v thou_o praise_v and_o righteousness_n o_o lord_n the_o pitiful_a and_o fatherly_a heart_n of_o god_n do_v not_o long_o suffer_v the_o soul_n afflict_v with_o the_o love_n and_o longing_n for_o of_o her_o spouse_n to_o be_v disconsolate_a and_o destitute_a of_o comfort_n but_o do_v help_v she_o &_o minister_v consolation_n unto_o she_o when_o as_o the_o mother_n see_v her_o child_n weep_v &_o desire_v gugawe_n with_o tear_n her_o hart_n can_v brook_v that_o the_o request_n of_o her_o child_n shall_v be_v long_o defer_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v hurt_v with_o weep_v but_o forthwith_o she_o give_v he_o that_o he_o desire_v and_o for_o which_o he_o weep_v what_o then_o will_v he_o do_v that_o offer_v himself_o for_o israel_n with_o far_o great_a affection_n then_o that_o of_o the_o mother_n who_o say_v though_o the_o 49._o mother_n forget_v her_o child_n of_o her_o womb_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o forget_v thou_o what_o will_v he_o do_v if_o he_o do_v not_o open_a the_o breast_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o the_o bosom_n

manner_n they_o must_v seek_v for_o the_o divine_a grace_n who_o will_v find_v it_o and_o if_o they_o thus_o seek_v for_o it_o they_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v it_o for_o solomon_n do_v often_o
