And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.”[1 Peter 4:16] No small matter of praise to that city! This is enough to make it a match for all, that for so long a time it had the benefit of that mouth, it first, and before all others: wherefore also it was there in the first place that men were accounted ...
