It is cer∣taine that God watcheth often for the safety of hys faythful when they slepe, to the ende he may preuent their pray∣ers. For, we were more than misera∣ble if in thys our brutall dulnesse God taried for our prayers. But bicause Christ speaketh here to hys Disciples he sheweth them playnly in what ma∣ner the heauenly father wyll make vs partakers of his gifts. Although ther∣fore he geue vs all good things freely: yet notwithstandyng to exercise our fayth, he wyl haue vs seke hym by our prayers, on which he wyl bestow that which proceadeth from hys goodnesse only.
So, God wyl haue vs seke hym, yet he is the first that sought and foūd vs, which thing appeareth in that he saith he was found, but it was of those that sought hym not, which was when he graffed vs into his household by faith.
