When Berned Foskett came to Bristol Broadmead as the assistant to Pastor Peter Kitterell in 1720, the regional Baptist Association, called the Western Association, had already entered an unhealthy period. There had been a Baptist association of churches in western and south-western England since the middle of the 1600s. But it was an amalgam of various beliefs. There was no confessional basis for union. Some churches were Particulars, some were Generals and some were becoming something very different. Under various influences, the associational orthodoxy declined. The causes included the effects of the instability and heresies of Thomas Collier which strongly influenced some churches negatively and the rationalistic pressures brought in by the Age of Reason which produced Arianism and Unitarianism in some General Baptist churches. It seems the Western Association churches were agreed on believer’s baptism but often on little else.

"In this conversation about Chapter 13 of the Confession, I want to continue to pursue the question of how the Christian is to prosecute or engage in the work of sanctification.

Bernard Foskett came to Broadmead as the assistant to Pastor Peter Kitterell and to train men for the Baptist ministry under the terms of the will of Elder Edward Terrill. This was in 1720. In 1714, the church had hired a young man named Caleb Jope for this purpose. He had the requisite language skills having been trained in a General Baptist academy in nearby Trowbridge. But he seems to have been unable to get along with others, being too self-interested and self-willed. He had originally received a call to pastor the Baptist church in Plymouth, but decided the Broadmead opportunity was better. Despite advice from older associational pastors, he went to Bristol Broadmead.
