Here the Apostle dealeth as a good Teacher, that there being a controversy between the false Prophets & him, they allege one thing, he allegeth another: Now to confute them, he taketh a third thing wherein both agreed: So he doth also to the Athenians: For if he had alleged the Prophets, they would have made a mock of him, and therefore he taketh one of their own Poets. This is to be practised of the Ministers of the word.

Here then the Apostle proveth that we are accomplished in CHRIST, For he is made unto us¹ wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and therefore he is our whole accomplishment, what then need we to seek for any more or any other portion? And therefore David saith:² God is my lot, my portion, and inheritance.
