3. There is an Experience to be obtained of the power and efficacy of the Word. In that place of the Apostle it is expressed by tasting. But there is something antecedent unto their tasting specially so called, and something consequent unto it, both inseparable from it, and therefore belonging unto the Experience whereof we speak.

1. Wherefore; The first thing required hereunto is Light; that is, a spiritual supernatural Light, enabling us to discern the Wisdom, Will and Mind of God in the Word, in a spiritual manner, without which, we can have no experience of its Power.

Chap. 3.16, 17, 18, 19. and declares the Nature of it, 2 Cor. 4.6.
