Verſe 22. The fruits of the spirit] The ſpirit of grace are thoſe two golden pipes, Zach. 4. thorow which the two olive-branches empty out of themſelves the golden oils of all precious graces into the Candleſtick, the Church: Hence grace is here and elſwhere called the fruits of the ſpirit, pleaſant fruits, Cant. 4.16. and 6.2. Ioh. 15.16.
Long-ſuffering] It hath been queſtioned by ſome, whether a man can be long-ſuffering, Sine anxilio gratiae, without the help of grace. Aquin 2.2. q. 136 [non-Latin text not transcribed]. But that which is right, is a fruit of the ſpirit.
Gentleneſſe] Gr. Ʋſefulneſſe, ſweetneſſe.
Faith] That is, Faithfulneſſe, as Mat. 23.23. 1 Tim. 5.12. Tit. 2.10.
