by_o mean_n of_o my_o good_a work_n &_o merit_n which_o in_o deed_n be_v none_o the_o xlviii_o article_n i_o believe_v that_o this_o church_n be_v invisible_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n &_o be_v only_o to_o god_n know_v &_o that_o the_o same_o church_n be_v not_o set_v compass_a and_o limit_v within_o a_o certain_a place_n or_o bound_n but_o be_v scatter_v &_o spread_v abroad_o throughout_o all_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o couple_v together_o in_o heart_n will_n and_o spirit_n by_o the_o bond_n of_o faith_n &_o charity_n have_v and_o altogether_o knowledge_v one_o only_o god_n one_o only_a head_n and_o mediator_n jesus_n christ_n one_o faith_n one_o law_n one_o baptism_n one_o spiritual_a table_n wherein_o one_o meat_n and_o one_o spiritual_a drink_n be_v minister_v to_o they_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o church_n contain_v in_o it_o all_o the_o righteous_a and_o choose_a people_n from_o the_o first_o righteous_a man_n unto_o the_o last_o that_o shall_v be_v find_v righteous_a in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o do_v i_o call_v it_o universal_a for_o as_o touch_v the_o visible_a church_n which_o be_v the_o congregation_n of_o the_o good_a and_o of_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o choose_a and_o of_o the_o reprobate_n &_o general_o of_o all_o those_o which_o say_v they_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o to_o be_v the_o church_n because_o that_o church_n be_v see_v of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o faith_n thereof_o be_v in_o visible_a thing_n the_o xlix_o article_n i_o believe_v that_o this_o invisible_a church_n be_v the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n wherein_o be_v neither_o darnel_n nor_o cockle_n it_o be_v the_o house_n and_o dwell_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o within_o that_o church_n be_v neither_o cain_n judas_n neither_o the_o wicked_a rich_a glutton_n that_o church_n also_o be_v the_o fold_n of_o christ_n wherein_o be_v no_o stink_a and_o infect_a beast_n but_o all_o clean_a and_o undefiled_a sheep_n and_o lamb_n which_o bring_v forth_o their_o fruit_n in_o due_a time_n &_o season_n the_o same_o church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n wherein_o there_o be_v never_o a_o rot_a corrupt_a or_o infect_a member_n it_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v pure_a &_o clean_a without_o wrinkle_n &_o without_o spot_n it_o be_v holy_a &_o without_o blame_n cleanse_v and_o sanctify_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o her_o head_n and_o well-beloved_a spouse_n jesus_n christ_n &_o for_o that_o cause_n they_o can_v in_o no_o wise_n perish_v which_o by_o lively_a faith_n be_v graft_v therein_o the_o l._n article_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v scatter_v and_o give_v unto_o every_o member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n not_o so_o much_o for_o their_o particular_a profit_n &_o commodity_n as_o for_o the_o general_a profit_n &_o commodity_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n &_o church_n and_o that_o thorough_a grace_n whole_o without_o any_o merit_n according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n &_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o some_o more_o to_o some_o less_o &_o that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o one_o have_v need_n of_o another_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o help_v one_o another_o in_o all_o necessity_n as_o well_o bodily_a as_o spiritual_o even_o as_o it_o become_v member_n of_o one_o body_n the_o li._n article_n i_o believe_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o believe_v that_o all_o whatsoever_o our_o lord_n god_n give_v in_o this_o world_n whether_o it_o be_v benefit_n and_o blessing_n that_o concern_v the_o body_n or_o the_o spirit_n he_o give_v the_o same_o singular_o to_o the_o profit_n &_o commodity_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o ought_v the_o same_o to_o be_v distribute_v &_o communicate_v to_o all_o that_o be_v faithful_a but_o chief_o to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o necessity_n that_o like_a as_o we_o do_v communicate_v and_o be_v knit_v in_o one_o god_n one_o faith_n one_o law_n one_o baptism_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o one_o spiritual_a table_n even_o so_o we_o may_v communicate_v &_o be_v partaker_n together_o of_o and_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v proceed_v &_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a thing_n for_o otherwise_o we_o can_v not_o be_v christian_n or_o faithful_a steward_n of_o christ_n here_o utter_o i_o renounce_v and_o abhor_v the_o anabaptiste_n manner_n of_o make_v common_a good_n wife_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o only_o do_v i_o allow_v the_o apostle_n make_v of_o thing_n common_a which_o have_v &_o possess_v any_o good_n private_o use_v to_o distribute_v thereof_o to_o every_o one_o according_a as_o the_o same_o have_v need_v and_o as_o necessity_n require_v the_o lii_o article_n i_o believe_v that_o this_o church_n be_v like_a unto_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n within_o the_o which_o be_v safety_n and_o life_n and_o without_o the_o same_o be_v but_o death_n decay_n and_o destruction_n for_o as_o christ_n be_v and_o do_v reign_v in_o his_o church_n even_o so_o satan_n be_v and_o do_v reign_v in_o and_o through_o all_o that_o be_v out_o of_o that_o church_n the_o which_o true_a church_n be_v maintain_v and_o uphold_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o be_v nourish_v and_o feed_v with_o his_o holy_a sacrament_n that_o church_n shall_v always_o have_v enemy_n &_o shall_v still_o be_v torment_v in_o the_o sea_n of_o this_o world_n with_o the_o thundering_n of_o antichrist_n and_o by_o the_o wound_n and_o tempest_n of_o satan_n for_o all_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n do_v arm_n &_o set_v out_o themselves_o against_o this_o church_n but_o in_o these_o wave_n she_o shall_v not_o be_v drown_v but_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o because_o she_o have_v a_o good_a defence_n and_o foundation_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o call_v she_o the_o church_n militant_a which_o wait_v for_o the_o triumph_n of_o those_o that_o be_v bless_v which_o be_v where_o as_o be_v nothing_o but_o peace_n joy_n and_o everlasting_a consolation_n the_o liii_o article_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v give_v we_o three_o principal_a sign_n and_o mark_n by_o the_o which_o we_o may_v know_v this_o his_o church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o word_n the_o sacrament_n &_o discipline_n i_o call_v that_o only_o the_o word_n which_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n prophet_n &_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o which_o word_n be_v contain_v within_o the_o canonical_a book_n of_o the_o old_a &_o new_a testament_n by_o the_o which_o word_n we_o be_v make_v clean_o &_o thereby_o do_v receive_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n &_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v by_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v to_o say_v jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n give_v &_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o aswell_o as_o by_o the_o sacrament_n albeit_o it_o be_v by_o another_o manner_n &_o fashion_n the_o liiii_o article_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n be_v of_o a_o far_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o church_n the_o which_o word_n only_o do_v sufficient_o show_v and_o teach_v we_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o in_o any_o wise_a concern_v our_o salvation_n both_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o what_o to_o leave_v undo_v the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o true_a pattern_n and_o perfect_a rule_n after_o the_o which_o all_o faithful_a people_n ought_v to_o govern_v and_o order_v their_o life_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a hand_n without_o change_v any_o thing_n thereof_o without_o put_v to_o it_o or_o take_v from_o it_o knowing_z that_o all_z the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a but_o most_o chief_o his_o word_n the_o lv._o article_n i_o believe_v that_o as_o only_a jesus_n christ_n among_o all_o man_n be_v holy_a and_o true_a &_o that_o all_o other_o be_v sinner_n and_o liar_n even_o so_o likewise_o the_o only_a doctrine_n of_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n be_v holy_a and_o true_a &_o all_o other_o doctrine_n be_v unpure_a &_o false_a this_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o well_o a_o fountain_n of_o life_n a_o lamp_n or_o pillar_n of_o fire_n to_o guide_v we_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o happen_v the_o same_o ought_v only_o to_o be_v advance_v preach_v hear_v understande_v &_o receive_v of_o all_o the_o world_n to_o the_o comfort_n and_o
