These are the documents of our cause, these are its foundations, these its upholders (or confirmers.) We read in the Acts of the Apostles of some Believers, that they daily searched the Scriptures whether those things were so: What Scriptures? ⟨p. 314⟩but the Canonical of the Law and prophets? Hereto are added the Gospels, the Epistles of the Apostles, the Acts of the Apostles and the Revelation of John. Search all these, and produce somewhat manifest which will demonstrate that the Church either *remaineth in Africa alone, or is to be from Afric, so that it may be fulfilled which the Lord saith, This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, &c. But bring somewhat that needeth nor an interpreter, that you may not be convinced that it speaks of another matter, and that you strive to turn it to your own sense *—] Chap. 25. [The question is not dark in which they may deceive you— You see the Church is every where diffused, and increaseth to the harvest.]
