Sectarian Narrowness
J. R. Andrews. Acts 10:9-16 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:… Whitefield, on arriving at Edinburgh, found great commotion among the Presbyters, who would not hear him preach unless he declared himself on their side. "I was asked," he says, "to preach only for them until I had further light. I inquired why only for them. 'Because,' said Ralph Erskine, 'they were the Lord's people.' I then asked were there no other Lord's people but themselves; and supposing all others were the devil's people, they certainly had more need to be preached to; and therefore I was more determined to go into the highways and hedges, and that if the Pope himself would lend me his pulpit I would gladly proclaim the righteousness of Christ therein." (J. R. Andrews.)
