It seems that on this Gomarus appealed to William Perkins in attendance as a guest to the Synod, who was highly esteemed amongst all, and Perkins brought a providential balance to the debate.
You should contact Mid-America Reformed Seminary and get the CD of the following lectures by Richard Muller: "Revising the Predestination Paradigm: An Alternative Approach to Supralapsarianism, Infralapsarianism and Hypothetical Universalism."
There are three lectures: 1) The Problem Stated, 2) The Lapsarian Question, and 3) Varieties of Hypothetical Universalism.

I think you mean someone else, as Perkins was dead in 1602 . . .

Discipulo,
I don't think there's any mistake in the quote at all. It doesn't say that Gomarus appealed to Perkins who was present. Perkins was a notable supralapsarian: he didn't have to be present at Dort (it's hard when you're dead...) in order for his opinions to still carry weight. We appeal to Perkins today still: it doesn't mean he's alive and present.
