In 2Co 9:13 'experiment' means proof: 'by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God.' It is proof arising out of experience, as in Hall, Works, iii. 467: 'We have known, indeed, some holy souls, which out of the generall precepts of piety, and their own happy experiments of God's mercy, have, through the grace of God, grown to a great measure of perfection this way; which yet might have been much expedited and compleated, by those helps which the greater illumination and experience of others might have afforded them.' Cf. preced. article.

??????. Simply 'proof.' 2Co 9:13.
