EXPERIMENT . In 2 Corinthians 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.
