In a word to conclude this point, all men ⟨p. 30⟩must here learn, seeing good Ministers 1are so scarce, to pray the Lord of the harvest, to thrust out more labourers into his harvest: and for those that are called already, that God would make them faithful in that high function. And as Elisha craveth of Elijah, that the good spirit may 2be doubled, and trebled upon them, so that the number may be increased. And thus we have the truth, the reason, and the use of this, that a good Minister is one of a thousand.
