10. yDona Dei in Sanctis non sunt otiosa. Whatsoever Grace God giveth us, it ought to be used and exercised, and not to lie idle in us. But zGod giveth us actionem cognoscendi, [Greek or Hebrew] discernendi, &c. a certain measure of the Spirit of Discretion, to teach us what to choose as good, and what to refuse as evil, 1 Joh. 2. 27. The same anointing teacheth you of all things, 1 Cor. 2. 15. He that is Spiritual judgeth all things. Therefore God would have us to exercise that measure of the gift of discretion, which he hath bestowed on us, in discerning of things which are propounded to us, whether they ought to be done or not.
