the_o definition_n more_o distinct_o and_o plain_o we_o call_v the_o church_n a_o congregation_n of_o faithful_a man_n to_o distinguish_v it_o both_o from_o civil_a and_o profane_a society_n that_o be_v without_o as_o also_o from_o hypocrite_n and_o unsound_a member_n that_o be_v within_o the_o church_n but_o not_o of_o it_o again_o we_o say_v that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o congregation_n of_o

as_o well_o as_o other_o church_n this_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v by_o that_o severe_a caveat_n which_o he_o g●ueth_v to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n among_o other_o gentile_n 22._o be_v not_o

we_o see_v that_o rome_n have_v no_o more_o immunity_n from_o error_n then_o any_o other_o church_n no_o no_o more_o than_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n rome_n no_o more_o than_o jerusalem_n and_o
