Trust him we 〈◊〉〈◊〉, tempt him we may 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Now God 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉, either when men are too much addicted to the means, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉: Or, when they reject them, as Ahaz; who refused a sign, and ran to un∣lawfull means, hiding all under this, I will not tempt God. Hea∣thens* 1.1 could say, Admotâ manu 〈◊〉〈◊〉 est Minerva; and they noted him for a foolish 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 his Cart 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fast,
cried to his god, and moved his lips, but not his hands to help himself. If thou callest for knowledge (saith Solomon) and criest for understanding: There's praier to God. If thou seekest her as 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and searchest for her as for hid treasures: There's mans 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the diligent use of the means. Then shalt thou understand* 1.2 the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Lord, and finde the knowledge of God: Ther's the happy 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Ora & labora was an Emperours 〈◊〉〈◊〉. S. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sets it down as a vanity of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 youth, that he pray'd God to help him against some speciall sins, whereunto he was strongly 〈◊〉〈◊〉, but should have been full sorry, that God should have heard him, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 he was loth to part with them. How much better was that praier of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Thomas Moor, Domine Deus, fac 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 consequendis operam collocare, pro quibus obtinendis soleo ad 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 are: Lord God, make me to bestow pains in getting those* 1.3 things, for obtaining whereof I use to pray unto thee.
〈◊〉〈◊〉. 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
