read_v mention_n of_o so_o many_o church_n of_o a_o triumphant_a church_n and_o a_o militant_a church_n of_o a_o visible_a and_o a_o invisible_a church_n of_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n the_o

reconcile_v with_o this_o that_o all_o god_n people_n be_v but_o one_o church_n i_o answer_v answ._n first_o it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v but_o one_o mystical_a church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v as_o we_o say_v in_o logic_n species_n specialissima_fw-la it_o can_v be_v subdivide_v into_o other_o church_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o but_o though_o it_o be_v but_o one_o body_n one_o real_a individual_a church_n yet_o this_o one_o church_n be_v capable_a of_o several_a distribution_n from_o some_o property_n or_o quality_n or_o adjunct_n which_o be_v find_v in_o it_o and_o those_o distribution_n or_o consideration_n of_o it_o do_v and_o may_v in_o some_o sense_n obtain_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n to_o give_v you_o a_o little_a taste_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v but_o one_o yet_o it_o be_v sometime_o consider_v distribute_v or_o distinguish_v according_a to_o the_o manner_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o communion_n which_o the_o part_n and_o member_n enjoy_v with_o their_o head_n thus_o one_o part_n of_o this_o church_n enjoy_v communion_n with_o the_o head_n by_o sight_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n and_o the_o communion_n which_o they_o have_v with_o christ_n be_v perfect_a free_v from_o all_o imperfection_n or_o infirmity_n or_o cross_n in_o this_o respect_n these_o member_n be_v call_v the_o triumphant_a church_n another_o part_n of_o the_o same_o church_n have_v communion_n with_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n and_o the_o communion_n which_o it_o enjoy_v with_o he_o be_v imperfect_a in_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o mingle_v with_o corruption_n temptation_n and_o affliction_n in_o respect_n whereof_o this_o part_n of_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o militant_a church_n but_o all_o these_o be_v not_o two_o church_n but_o one_o church_n only_o one_o part_n of_o it_o have_v shoot_v the_o gulf_n and_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o the_o other_o be_v in_o another_o condition_n here_o upon_o earth_n second_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v upon_o earth_n in_o regard_n that_o the_o very_a life_n and_o be_v of_o it_o and_o of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o it_o lie_v in_o internal_a grace_n which_o can_v be_v see_v in_o that_o respect_n the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o invisible_a church_n but_o now_o as_o the_o same_o church_n and_o member_n do_v make_v a_o outward_a profession_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n sensible_o to_o the_o eye_n and_o ear_n of_o other_o in_o that_o respect_n it_o be_v call_v a_o visible_a church_n but_o the_o visible_a be_v not_o one_o church_n and_o the_o invisible_a another_o church_n but_o mere_o the_o same_o church_n under_o several_a denomination_n the_o one_o from_o their_o constitute_a grace_n the_o other_o from_o the_o external_a profession_n of_o they_o how_o man_n who_o have_v no_o grace_n come_v to_o be_v account_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o expound_v afterwards_o or_o three_o take_v it_o thus_o the_o selfsame_a church_n of_o christ_n at_o one_o time_n have_v be_v train_v up_o under_o one_o kind_n of_o outward_a administration_n and_o form_n of_o worship_n and_o government_n one_o before_o christ_n incarnation_n and_o that_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n since_o christ_n time_n there_o be_v another_o administration_n and_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o jew_n and_o gentile_n before_o and_o since_o christ_n incarnation_n be_v but_o one_o church_n so_o likewise_o you_o may_v read_v that_o jesus_n christ_n though_o he_o have_v but_o one_o church_n yet_o he_o have_v appoint_v that_o the_o multitude_n of_o those_o who_o profess_v his_o

and_o discipline_v of_o they_o these_o several_a association_n or_o congregation_n make_v so_o many_o church_n but_o these_o church_n be_v not_o several_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o only_a part_n of_o his_o one_o body_n as_o in_o a_o great_a army_n the_o number_n of_o all_o who_o have_v list_v their_o name_n in_o the_o muster-role_n be_v all_o under_o one_o general_n and_o all_o under_o some_o

mean_a officer_n yet_o all_o of_o these_o take_v together_o be_v all_o but_o one_o army_n so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o church_n i_o may_v add_v that_o sometime_o these_o several_a association_n be_v distinguish_v and_o know_v by_o the_o outward_a confession_n which_o they_o make_v of_o their_o faith_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n you_o have_v in_o our_o day_n the_o church_n of_o the_o reformation_n the_o protestant_n and_o the_o reform_a protestant_n and_o these_o again_o according_a to_o some_o of_o their_o confession_n be_v pure_a and_o holy_a than_o other_o and_o just_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a building_n some_o room_n it_o may_v be_v be_v more_o light_a and_o glorious_a and_o some_o of_o they_o more_o dark_a and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o they_o have_v more_o weak_a timber_n and_o other_o material_n than_o the_o rest_n and_o yet_o all_o of_o they_o be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o selfsame_a house_n so_o i_o say_v all_o these_o triumphant_a militant_a jew_n gentile_n visible_a invisible_a the_o several_a church_n in_o the_o several_a quarter_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o east_n west_n north_n and_o south_n all_o these_o or_o rather_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o these_o take_v together_o do_v make_v up_o that_o one_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v his_o body_n his_o spouse_n his_o kingdom_n his_o city_n his_o vine_n his_o love_n his_o dove_n his_o turtle_n his_o only_a one_o of_o her_o mother_n now_o whether_o this_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v thus_o one_o be_v authorise_v to_o meet_v in_o her_o representative_n to_o

lutheran_n have_v have_v many_o dispute_n to_o see_v if_o they_o can_v fetch_v off_o one_o another_o from_o their_o principle_n and_o can_v not_o do_v it_o the_o calvinist_n even_o the_o holy_a and_o
