Isaiah55:6

Ver. 6. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found] Seek not his Omnipreſence (for that ye need not do, ſith he is not far from any one of us, Acts 17.27.) but his gracious preſence, his face and favour: ſeek to be in the fear of the Lord, and in the comforts of the Holy Ghoſt, in communion with him and conformity unto him; and give not over till you find it. Seek him ſeriouſly, ſeek him ſeaſonably. There is a time when men ſhall ſeek the Lord with their flocks and heards, and yet not find him, when once he hath withdrawn himſelf from them, Hoſ. 5.6.

Call ye upon him while he is near] In a time of acceptance, Pſal. 32.6. before he hath ſworn that he will not be ſpoken with, Pſal. [illegible: 1 letter]5.11. God is but a while with men in the opportunities of grace, Prov. 1.24, 28.
