book_n of_o institution_n chap._n 1._o for_o many_o paragraphe_n together_o where_o he_o purposely_o dispute_v of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o very_o in_o the_o 2._o §_o he_o affirm_v that_o by_o

be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o caluin_n and_o full_a right_o for_o albeit_o we_o see_v with_o external_a eye_n the_o multitude_n of_o those_o man_n whereof_o the_o visible_a church_n consist_v yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o there_o be_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o the_o say_a multitude_n this_o we_o see_v not_o but_o believe_v it_o so_o that_o the_o visible_a church_n be_v contain_v partly_o under_o sight_n partly_o under_o faith_n with_o external_a eye_n we_o see_v those_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n with_o internal_a faith_n we_o believe_v that_o among_o they_o the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v both_o deliver_v and_o conserve_v 2._o and_o thus_o be_v that_o cavil_v of_o the_o lutheran_n solue_v that_o which_o we_o believe_v by_o faith_n be_v not_o visible_a but_o the_o church_n we_o believe_v by_o faith_n ergo_fw-la the_o church_n be_v not_o visible_a for_o the_o mayor_n proposition_n ought_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o which_o we_o believe_v by_o faith_n be_v not_o visible_a according_a to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v under_o faith_n although_o it_o be_v visible_a according_a to_o some_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o contain_v under_o faith_n and_o of_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v diverse_a example_n in_o christ_n the_o apostle_n see_v his_o humanity_n they_o believe_v his_o divinity_n in_o baptism_n we_o see_v the_o external_a water_n and_o wash_n but_o the_o internal_a force_n of_o regeneration_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o believe_v in_o the_o volume_n of_o the_o bible_n we_o see_v the_o paper_n the_o writing_n and_o the_o volume_n itself_o we_o believe_v that_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v read_v therein_o the_o same_o judgement_n therefore_o there_o be_v of_o the_o church_n somewhat_o there_o be_v in_o it_o which_o we_o believe_v and_o somewhat_o which_o we_o perceive_v by_o sense_n 3._o but_o least_o that_o any_o shall_v be_v mistake_v we_o must_v yet_o use_v another_o distinction_n for_o it_o may_v be_v two_o way_n understand_v that_o we_o believe_v the_o church_n by_o faith_n first_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o believe_v that_o each_o man_n which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n be_v true_o faithful_a and_o do_v with_o internal_a affection_n follow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n second_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v both_o teach_v and_o conserve_v in_o it_o the_o former_a sense_n be_v false_a the_o late_a be_v true_a for_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n with_o we_o be_v according_a to_o internal_a affection_n true_o faithful_a because_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o many_o hypocrite_n be_v in_o the_o church_n as_o i_o will_v show_v you_o afterwards_o yet_o do_v we_o believe_v that_o doctrine_n which_o by_o external_a voice_n the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n do_v profess_v to_o be_v that_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n 4._o and_o that_o this_o visible_a church_n be_v to_o be_v call_v catholic_a holy_a the_o spouse_n
