His Text was, Act. 15.36. Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again, and visit our Brethren, &c.
That the Doctor intended out of this Text to prove such a Visitation as was then when he Preached, and so in England when Bishops visit, I presume; else he deceived him to whom he dedicates it, and the four Doctors that Licensed it. See how the Text will force it.
The Proposition or Antecedent is this: Paul and Barnabas, two Apostles, Act. 14.14. Persons of extraordinary mission, commission, and qualifications for the office, having by their Preaching converted many people from Heathenism to the Faith of Christ, gathered them into Churches, and set Elders over them. These Elders and Churches being but all young Converts, and through the relicts of corruption in them, and the malice of Satan and his Emissaries without them, being in danger to miscarry in Doctrine or manners, these two Apostles go to visit the Churches, which they had planted.
