〈◊〉〈◊〉 He that permits a thing, to testifie his permission, will turn to him, and grant his desire.
The same simple verb joyned with another preposition, that signifieth, d 1.4 From, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 •…•…ndeth the contrary, namely, to turn from one, and that in dislike in what he desired. Thus is it used, 2 Tim. 3. 5.
The word of this Text implyeth Gods approving of a thing, and such a permit∣ting as he addes his helping hand thereunto. For God doth not barely suffer good things to be so, and so done; but he hath his hand in ordering, and dispo∣sing them, and thereby brings them to a good issue. Well therefore doth the Apostle, in reference to the efficacy of his Ministry, adde this caution, If God 〈◊〉〈◊〉: For mans Ministry is so far effectuall, as God addes his blessing thereunto. I •…•…ate planted (saith the Apostle) Apollo watered, but God gave the encrease, 1 Cor. 3. 6. In this respect also he saith, God hath made us able Ministers of the New Testa∣•…•…ent, 2 Cor. 3. 5. To this purpose may that in generall be applyed, both to the efficacy of mans Ministry, and also to the profit of peoples hearing, which a Pro∣phet thus expresseth, I am the Lord thy God, which teacheth thee to profit, which lead∣eth thee, by the way that thou shouldest go, Isa. 48. 17.
All meanes are voluntarily appointed by God; subordinate to his providence, and ordered thereby, as the lower wheeles in a Clock by the great one.
This is a great encouragement with diligence, good conscience, and in faith to use the meanes, which are warranted by God: and in the use of them to call on God, and to depend on him for a blessing.
