The Sermon to the Society at their Anniversary Meetings, Feb. 21. 1717, was preached by the Right Reverend Philip, Bishop of Hereford. Wherein that worthy Prelate very seasonably moved for the Settlement of Bishops in those Foreign Plantations that had received the Gospel.
"Without which, as he said, no part of their whole Design could be rightly conducted, viz. The establishing of proper Governours upon the Place; who upon all Emergencies, might inspect the Ecclesiastical Affairs of that wide Province; and be ever at hand to exercise such Spiritual Discipline as hath in all Ages been found necessary for the good Government of the Church of Christ."
