ANSELM. in Protolog. Cap. 1.
Lord, if thou are not present, where shall I seeke thee absent? If every where, why do I not see thee present? Thou dwellest in light inaccessible; and where is that inaccessible light? Or how shall I have accesse to light inaccessible? I beseech thee, Lord, teach me to seeke thee, and show thy selfe to the seeker, because I can neither seeke thee, unlesse thou teach me, nor find thee, unlesse thou show thy selfe to me: Let me seeke thee, in desiring thee, and desire thee in seeking thee; Let me find thee in loving thee, and love thee in finding thee.
