SECT. II.
The Text explained.
For the Coherence of it, observe, that the Apostle having in the former verses enjoined many excellent and choice duties; In this verse he betaketh himself to prayer to God in their behalf, that God would sanctify them and enable them thereunto, for in vain did Paul water by this Doctrinal Information, unless God did give the increase; and withal we see, that is a true Rule, That precepts are not a measure of our power; They declare indeed our ⟨p. 373⟩duty, but they do not argue our power, otherwise prayer thus to God would have been needless.
