St. Paul also greets Priscilla and Aquila. He greets them under the title of fellow-helpers or fellow-labourers in Jesus Christ. But this is the same title which he bestows upon Timothy, to denote his usefulness in the church. Add to which, that Priscilla and Aquila were the persons of whom St. Luke [126]says, "that they assisted Apollos in expounding to him the way of God more perfectly." [Footnote 126: Acts 18. 24. 26.] In the same epistle he recognizes also other women, as having been useful to him in Gospel-labours. Thus--"Salute Tryphena, and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord." "Salute the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord." From these, and from other observations, which might be made upon this subject, the Quakers are of opinion that the ministry of the women was as acceptable, in the time of the Apostles, as the ministry of the men. And as there is no prohibition against the preaching of women in the New Testament, they see no reason why they should not be equally admissible and equally useful as ministers at the present day. SECT. II. _Way in which Quakers are admitted into the ministry--When acknowledged, they preach, like other pastors, to their different congregations or meetings--They visit occasionally the different families in their own counties or quarterly meetings--Manner of these family-visits--Sometimes travel as ministers through particular counties or the kingdom at large--Sometimes into foreign parts--Women share in these labours--Expense of voyages on such occasions defrayed out of the national stock._ The way in which Quakers, whether men or women, who conceive themselves to be called to the office of the ministry, are admitted into it, so as to be acknowledged by the society to be ministers of the Quaker-church, is simply as follows.
