4. Wherefore, as the Stars glitter, and twinkle in the Firmament of Heaven: So do true Ministers in the Firmament of his Church; 1 Chro. 29.2. Joh. 5.35. Dan. 12.3.
5. So that 'tis said again, these Gifts come down from above, as signifying they distil their dew from above: And hence again, the Ministers are said to be set OVER us in the Lord, as placed in the Firmament of his Heaven to give a light upon his Earth. There is Gold, and a multitude ⟨p. 80⟩of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious Jewel, Prov. 20 15.
