in this place called the Citty of God But some would say is not God euery where yea euen among the Turks why thē is the Church onely that is the congregation of Christians called the Cittie of GOD For Esay the Prophet saieth Cap. 66. Heauen is my seat and the earth is my footstool I answere God is euery wheare by power and essence but not euery whear by grace but in Christians onely whoe beléeue in Christ the Mediator Thereis God saide to dwell in his Church because the Church is that peculier people of God sanctified in the blood of Christ consecrated to God in Baptisme by the holy Ghost that it may be a liuely Temple and Tabernacle of God wherin hée dwelleth whereinto he powreth out his holy spirit with his guitts on which he bestoweth through Christ incorruptibility and eternitie For as touching Christians God specially faith in 26.

Wherfore if God be King and Lord in her there must ueedes be in her absolute felicitie by al meanes that is to say Righteousnesse and euerlasting saluatiō Christ the king of glorie with al his good graces dwel in the Church by good right then doth Paul first a persecutor and afterwardes a builder and defender of the Church call her glorious as in Ephes 5. And what are these Glorious thinges which are spoken of in or touching this Church The Church is called The holy and beloued spouse of Christ Ephes 5. whom as Oseas saith Christ the king of glory hath maried vnto himselfe for euer in righteousnes in iudgemēt and in mercy and cōpassiō faith that she may know how he is the Lord. cap 2. vers 19 20.
