4. We find that the Lord doth qualify and fit them whom he makes successful. He makes men able Ministers of the New Testament, the Word of Life, 2 Cor. 3.5, 6. And still according to the success the Lord ⟨p. 198⟩hath a mind to bless a man with, gifts and qualifications and assistance are proportionably given. The Apostles that had the greatest Harvest to gather in, were made the strongest Labourers; and though in a far inferior degree, the same method is observed by the Lord in dealing with and by ordinary Ministers. It's true, that always the most able and learned Ministers are not most successful; yet generally the most skilful Labourers are most blessed: Neither are the most Learned and able men for parts, most fit and skilful in dealing with Souls at all times.
