II. THAT WE MIGHT ASCRIBE THE WHOLE WORK OF OUR CONVERSION TO GOD ALONE (2 Corinthians 4:7). III. THAT GOD MIGHT BY THIS MEANS CONFOUND THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD, and cause men that would be wise to become fools that they might be wise (1 Corinthians 3:18). IV. THAT WE MIGHT BE ASSURED THAT THE DOCTRINE IS OF GOD BECAUSE IT PREVAILS WITHOUT THE STRENGTH AND POLICY OF MAN. (W. Perkins.)
