4. Among the conditions of the treaty, the financial stipulation has been brought to view:--party to be remembered, the poor--then under the gentle sway of the Apostles: party, by whom they were to be remembered, Paul--their recognized, though, for aught appears, no otherwise than locally and negatively recognized, associate. In and by the Deputation Visit, on the part of Paul, with the assistance of Barnabas,--we see this stipulation actually conformed to and carried into effect. From the Christians at Antioch to the Apostles at Jerusalem,--for the benefit of the poor, at that metropolis of the Christian world, by the conjoined hands of Paul and Barnabas,--money, it has been seen, was actually brought. On the other hand, an observation which, at first sight, may seem to shut the door against this supposition, is--that whereas in his letter, to his Galatians, Gal. i. 18, 19, after saying, "I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days," and adding, "But other of the Apostles saw I none, save James, the Lord's brother"; he, not more than fourteen verses afterwards, Gal. 2:9, in the verse in which his account of this important treaty is continued,--speaks as if it was at that very time that he had seen--not only the above two Apostles, on this occasion designated by the names of James and Cephas--but John likewise: and that this must have been his third Jerusalem visit, because it is after _mention_ made of that same third visit, which, in a passage intermediate between these, namely, Gal. 2:1, is stated, in express terms, as being by fourteen years posterior to his first visit,[38] that this circumstance, of his seeing John likewise, is mentioned as having had place. But, in neither of these considerations, is there anything, that presents itself as conclusive, against the supposition--that whatever treaty there was, took place at the first visit.
