Hence we are taught that howsoever we must (so much as in us lieth) endeavour to approve our selves to the whole world,1 yet especially we must labour to be in good account with the Churches of God, and the members thereof: And on the contrary, we must continually avoid the doing of all such things as may justly bring us into disgrace with the Church of God. Rom. 16.16. The Churches of Christ salute you. And 1. Cor. 16.19. All the Churches of Asia salute you. Where the Apostle meaneth not, that they did by word of mouth send greetings unto them: But hereby he would signify that all Churches did approve of them, which he saith for their great comfort. Paul received Timothy into the company, because the Churches gave him a good report, Act. 16.2.3.
