or_o sea_n diverse_o call_v according_a to_o the_o divers_a region_n by_o who_o shore_n it_o pass_v and_o that_o therefore_o this_o matter_n be_v not_o worth_a labour_n spend_v about_o it_o answ._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v call_v visible_a since_o only_a thing_n singular_a be_v visible_a and_o discern_v by_o sense_n whereas_o

by_o the_o understanding_n abstract_v from_o they_o all_o circumstanstiall_a accident_n consider_v that_o the_o kind_n intelligible_a have_v their_o existence_n in_o nature_n that_o be_v in_o the_o individual_n 2._o the_o catholic_n church_n with_o due_a reverence_n unto_o learned_a ned_a man_n be_v it_o speak_v be_v very_o unskilful_o say_v to_o be_v one_o as_o the_o sea_n be_v one_o for_o first_o it_o be_v express_o say_v gen._n 1_o 9_o 10._o that_o the_o water_n which_o be_v under_o the_o heaven_n be_v gather_v into_o one_o place_n or_o conceptacle_n which_o god_n call_v sea_n or_o sea_n but_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v say_v to_o comprehend_v all_o particular_a congregation_n in_o her_o bosom_n be_v not_o gather_v together_o into_o one_o place_n nor_o ever_o shall_v be_v before_o the_o glorious_a come_n of_o christ._n 2._o the_o ocean_n be_v a_o body_n so_o continue_v as_o that_o all_o and_o every_o part_n thereof_o be_v continual_o fluent_a so_o as_o the_o

then_o be_v a_o fail_v of_o the_o ocean_n neither_o be_v the_o water_n now_o gather_v into_o one_o place_n neither_o make_v they_o one_o sea_n and_o body_n of_o water_n either_o continue_v or_o conjoin_v but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n upon_o the_o defection_n or_o dissipation_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a church_n no_o such_o impediment_n shall_v come_v in_o the_o way_n but_o that_o the_o rest_n may_v hold_v their_o full_a course_n as_o before_z yea_o i_o add_v moreover_o if_o all_o and_o every_o particular_a assembly_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v languish_v and_o fall_v away_o one_o only_o except_v that_o only_o one_o do_v still_o remain_v the_o true_a &_o entire_a church_n of_o christ_n without_o any_o either_o subordination_n or_o coordination_n or_o dependencie_n spiritual_a save_v unto_o christ_n alone_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o this_o singular_a and_o sole_a assembly_n may_v under_o christ_n the_o head_n use_v and_o enjoy_v every_o one_o of_o
