CHAP. XXXVII. Concerning those Preachers of the Gospel who at that time were eminent.

AMong those who were illustrious in those times Quadratus was one, who, as Fame says, flourished at the same time with the daugh∣ters of Philip, in the gift of prophecy. Many others also besides these were famous at that time, having obtained the first place among the succes∣sours of the Apostles. Who, because they were the a 1.1 eminent disciples of such men, built up those Churches, the foundations whereof were every where laid by the Apostles; promoting greatly the doctrine of the Gospel, and scattering the salutary seed of the Kingdom of heaven at large over the whole world. For many of the then dis∣ciples, whose souls were inflamed by the divine Word with a more ardent desire of Philosophy, first fulfilled our Saviours commandment, by distributing their substance to those that were necessitous; then after that travelling abroad, they performed the work of Evangelists to those who as yet had not at all heard the word of Faith; be∣ing very ambitious to Preach Christ, and to de∣liver the Books of the divine Gospels. And these persons, having onely laid the foundation of faith in remote and barbarous places, and constituted other Pastours, committed to them the culture of those they had perfectly introduced to the faith, departed again to other Regions and nations, ac∣compained with the Grace and cooperation of God. For the divine Spirit as yet wrought many wonderfull works by them; insomuch that at the first hearing, innumerable multitudes of men did with most ready minds altogether admit of and en∣gage themselves in the worship of that God who is the Maker of all things. But it being impossi∣ble for us to recount by name all those who in the first succession of the Apostles were Pa∣stours or Evangelists in the Churches throughout the world, we will here commit to writing the mention of their names onely, whose writings, containing the Apostolical doctrine they deli∣vered, are to this day extant amongst us.
