John Trapp on Romans 15:16

Verſe 16. Miniſtring the Gospel] Serving about holy things, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. or doing ſacred offices, as the Prieſts under the Law, to whom the Apoſtle all along this verſe alludes in an elegant allegory: the Miniſtery is a divine and heavenly function. All other callings are for the world, and draw to the world: but this, both in the preparation and execution, draweth to God, keepeth us with God, and to be ever mindefull of the things of God.
