SECT. II.
That the Spirit of Grace is principally and most abundantly dispensed in the ministry of the Gospel by the Ministers thereof; 1That is, they are those that sell; this is their business, and trade, and work, like the Olive-tree to the Candlestick, Zach. 4. 5, 6. which take rooting in the Courts of God to this end, to drop in their golden oil; but still observe it is as servants under the Lord Jesus, who gives what and when he will by them.
