Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Glance at the Baptists
In the well ordered Provrdence of God there were assembled at Jerusalem, a vast concourse of pens ple belonging to different nations and tongues, before whom the marvellous transactions of Penta= cost were wrought. These became the pioneers of the truth they had heard the uninstructed Apostles utter in their own language. Here was the wisdom, here the power of God. That memorable day brought an accession of three thossand souls to the little compa ny of believers. Emboldened by success, and directed bv the Spirit, they preached the word of the Lord successfully throughout Judea and the surrounding countries, God bearing them witness both with signs and wonders, so that in a little time the Gospel was borne to a great part ofthe extensive empire of Rome, which embraced at this period most of the civilized world. Robinson, in his Ecclesiastical Researches has shown that, the Apostles and other preachers gathered churches in'between sixty and seventy dif ferent towns, cities and provinces, and in some in stances a number in each.
