e_fw-la first_o point_n of_o the_o church_n we_o shall_v treat_v it_o in_o three_o part_n the_o first_o what_o be_v the_o church_n the_o second_o what_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o it_o the_o three_o what_o be_v the_o authority_n thereof_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o this_o name_n of_o the_o church_n be_v take_v and_o draw_v out_o of_o a_o greke_n word_n which_o signify_v as_o much_o as_o to_o call_v from_o one_o place_n to_o a_o other_o but_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o calling_n the_o one_o be_v soyn_v with_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o

call_v 30_o the_o other_o although_o it_o be_v the_o self_n same_o outward_o as_o the_o first_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o

&_o they_o that_o be_v superfluous_a these_o point_n be_v resolve_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o decide_v this_o question_n if_o the_o church_n be_v above_o the_o scripture_n the_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v so_o foolish_a a_o question_n as_o if_o one_o ask_v whether_o the_o infant_n or_o child_n be_v above_o his_o father_n 29._o the_o woman_n above_o her_o husband_n yea_o the_o man_n above_o

no_o purpose_n to_o say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v before_o the_o scripture_n for_o although_o that_o so_o it_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v so_o that_o this_o word_n that_o afterwards_o ha_v be_v write_v
