John Trapp on Proverbs 2:3

Verſ. 3. If thou cryeſt after knowledge] Bene oraſſe eſt bene ſtuduiſſe, James 1.17 ſaid Luther. Knowledge is Gods gift, James 1.5. and muſt be ſought at his hand, fith hee is the Father of lights, and ſells us eye-ſalve, Rev. 3.17.

And lifteſt up thy voice] As reſolved to give God no reſt till thou haſt it. A dull ſuitor begs a denial. Then ſhall men know if they follow on to know the Lord, Hoſ. 6.3. Teach mee, teach mee, ſaith David often. Lord ſhew mee thy glory, ſaid Moſes newly come from the Mount.
