integral_n and_o accident_n hence_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v utter_o à_fw-la non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la and_o inconsequent_a to_o say_v because_o this_o scripture_n and_o other_o like_a speak_v of_o the_o church_n as_o of_o one_o in_o mystery_n leyd._n in_o nature_n 33._o and_o in_o essence_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v one_o in_o number_n differunt_fw-la or_o one_o visible_a single_a body_n that_o because_o the_o church_n be_v someway_o one_o therefore_o integral_o and_o by_o way_n of_o single_a corporation_n visible_a now_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n as_o one_o in_o mystery_n and_o nature_n not_o visible_o and_o in_o number_n appear_v from_o verse_n 13._o where_o he_o say_v you_o be_v all_o baptise_v into_o one_o body_n and_o be_v make_v to_o

the_o oneness_n of_o the_o body_n to_o consist_v in_o these_o unite_n the_o member_n to_o one_o christ_n by_o one_o spirit_n to_o one_o god_n in_o which_o place_n two_o thing_n be_v observable_a first_o that_o as_o he_o say_v the_o church_n be_v one_o so_o he_o say_v baptism_n be_v one_o and_o faith_n be_v one_o shall_v we_o therefore_o say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o single_a baptism_n or_o one_o single_a faith_n visible_o and_o integral_o one_o in_o the_o world_n sure_o any_o man_n will_v answer_v that_o the_o former_a be_v say_v to_o be_v one_o mystical_o invisible_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o kind_n and_o nature_n because_o all_o true_a faith_n be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n and_o so_o all_o true_a baptism_n but_o be_v as_o many_o several_a faith_n in_o number_n and_o baptism_n as_o there_o be_v several_a believer_n and_o baptise_a person_n second_o that_o the_o oneness_n of_o the_o church_n essential_o consist_v in_o the_o oneness_n for_o kind_n of_o faith_n hope_n baptism_n as_o also_o in_o the_o oneness_n of_o its_o head_n its_o spirit_n and_o its_o god_n which_o do_v indeed_o make_v it_o one_o mystical_a body_n but_o it_o do_v not_o conclude_v they_o to_o be_v one_o visible_o outward_o and_o external_o because_o some_o of_o these_o thing_n wherein_o they_o be_v one_o be_v invisible_a other_o not_o on_o earth_n as_o the_o faith_n the_o hope_n spirit_n be_v invisible_a god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o on_o earth_n visible_o and_o therefore_o the_o oneness_n here_o mention_v make_v not_o one_o visible_a corporation_n on_o earth_n and_o as_o one_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o to_o act_v we_o willing_o grant_v that_o this_o union_n mystical_a do_v imply_v a_o union_n visible_a also_o as_o much_o as_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n but_o neither_o christ_n institution_n nor_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n imply_v but_o oppose_v such_o a_o universal_a visible_a
