' At the founding of the cnurch by the preaching of the apostles, the > John xxi. Vt. * Acts. 11. 42, 4C, &c. HOW THE SERVICES AVERE FORMED. 365 whole time of the clergy was taken up with the work of the min- istry. Often the people whom they converted were poor, some of them even slaves, owned by cruel pagan masters..., and the early christians had to work hard for their living.
