From the practise of the Apostle, & from these weighty reasons thereof I gather,
Such gifts as God hath once bestowed, 1are still to be prayed for. Compare the eighth and seventeenth verses of the first Chapter of this Epistle together, and you shall find how the Apostle saith, that God hath been abundant toward them in all wisdom, and yet prayeth God to give them the Spirit of wisdom. Compare the 3. and 9. verses of Colos. 1. and ye may gather as much.
