holy men can apprehend the will of God reconciled to us in Christ : and in these things [as respects this apprehension] there is not one faith working miracles, another saving faith, but one and the same faith. In its first act it always has a miraculous power; for it is something entirely supernatural, Eph. i. 19, although not always in such a degree, or on- such a particular occasion, as that it should exert itself conspicuously ; see Note on Chrys. de Sacerd., § 416. — yap'nsiaarct /a^arwv, gifts of healing) u Not only miraculous cures are meant, Acts v. 15, xix. 12, xxviii. 8, but also the gracious blessing on the cure of the sick, by natural remedies ; as it cannot be denied, that some physicians are more fortunate than others, which should be attributed not merely to their skill, but especially to Divine grace E. Schmidius. This remark may also be applied to other gifts ; for as the king of Judah substituted shields of brass for those of gold, which had been lost ; so after the Church lost what were purely gifts, grace still lends its aid more secretly beneath the guise of human efforts and instru- mentalities, and that too the more abundantly, in proportion as the more opportunity is given to it.

12. Ourw %ai 6 Xpiffrog , so also Christ) The whole Christ is the head and body . The head is the only-begotten Son of God , and His body is the Church; Augustine. This is in harmony with Ps. xviii. 51. To His Anointed , to David and his seed, : for so the accent requires it to be.
