church_n be_v part_n of_o christ_n one_o catholic_n church_n and_o whatever_o unity_n there_o be_v among_o other_o church_n if_o they_o be_v not_o true_a church_n they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o christ_n catholic_n church_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o discourser_n intend_v or_o be_v oblige_v to_o in_o pursuit_n of_o his_o design_n and_o thus_o i_o may_v pass_v over_o what_o he_o talk_v about_o church-unity_n but_o that_o he_o have_v some_o very_a peculiar_a mark_n which_o be_v worth_a our_o notice_n he_o say_v pag._n 7._o protestant_n salve_n the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n main_o because_o christendom_n be_v divide_v and_o separate_v from_o heathenism_n which_o i_o wish_v hearty_o all_o christendom_n perfect_o be_v not_o consider_v so_o much_o the_o unity_n with_o itself_o but_o pray_v who_o tell_v he_o that_o protestant_n do_v not_o place_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n in_o unity_n but_o in_o separation_n all_o true_a christian_a church_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o most_o essential_a thing_n they_o have_v one_o hope_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o and_o this_o make_v they_o one_o body_n animate_v by_o the_o same_o holy_a spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n ephes._n 4._o 4_o 5_o 6._o but_o still_o they_o be_v not_o one_o entire_a communion_n but_o divide_v and_o separate_v from_o each_o other_o this_o we_o will_v grant_v be_v a_o very_a great_a fault_n but_o yet_o if_o they_o communicate_v in_o such_o thing_n as_o make_v one_o church_n whatever_o their_o other_o division_n be_v they_o be_v one_o church_n still_o their_o quarrel_n and_o division_n may_v hurt_v themselves_o but_o can_v destroy_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o church_n be_v one_o body_n not_o mere_o by_o the_o unity_n and_o agreement_n of_o christian_n among_o themselves_o but_o by_o the_o appointment_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n who_o have_v make_v all_o those_o who_o profess_v the_o true_a faith_n and_o be_v unite_v in_o the_o same_o sacrament_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o body_n to_o be_v his_o one_o body_n and_o therefore_o christian_n be_v never_o exhort_v to_o be_v one_o body_n for_o that_o they_o be_v if_o they_o be_v christian_n as_o the_o apostle_n express_o assert_n that_o christian_n be_v but_o one_o body_n but_o they_o be_v exhort_v to_o live_v in_o unity_n and_o concord_n because_o they_o be_v but_o one_o body_n i_o therefore_o the_o prisoner_n of_o the_o lord_n beseech_v you_o that_o you_o walk_v worthy_a of_o the_o vocation_n wherewith_o you_o be_v call_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o meekness_n with_o long-suffering_a forbear_v one_o another_o in_o love_n endeavour_v to_o 3._o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n there_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n therefore_o they_o must_v endeavour_v to_o preserve_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n which_o suppose_v the_o christian_a church_n to_o be_v one_o body_n by_o institution_n though_o the_o external_a peace_n of_o the_o church_n be_v break_v by_o schism_n and_o faction_n because_o our_o obligation_n to_o preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o unity_n of_o ecclesiastical_a communion_n result_v from_o this_o unity_n of_o body_n which_o make_v schism_n a_o very_a great_a evil_n and_o very_o destructive_a to_o man_n soul_n as_o all_o other_o vice_n be_v but_o the_o church_n which_o have_v but_o one_o hope_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o be_v but_o one_o church_n still_o though_o christian_n quarrel_n with_o each_o other_o thus_o st._n paul_n assert_n that_o as_o the_o body_n be_v one_o and_o have_v many_o member_n and_o all_o the_o member_n etc._n of_o that_o one_o body_n be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n so_o also_o be_v christ._n but_o how_o do_v all_o christian_n come_v to_o be_v one_o body_n in_o christ_n that_o he_o answer_v for_o by_o one_o spirit_n be_v we_o all_o baptize_v into_o one_o body_n and_o have_v be_v make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n and_o from_o hence_o he_o show_v what_o tenderness_n all_o christian_n ought_v to_o express_v for_o each_o other_o as_o be_v member_n of_o each_o other_o pag._n 25._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o schism_n in_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o member_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o care_n one_o for_o another_o but_o suppose_v christian_n have_v not_o this_o mutual_a care_n one_o of_o another_o do_v they_o cease_v to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n no_o such_o matter_n these_o quarrel_n between_o the_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n be_v very_o unnatural_a but_o they_o be_v the_o same_o body_n still_o pag._n 15_o 16._o if_o the_o foot_n shall_v say_v because_o i_o be_o not_o the_o hand_n i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o body_n be_v it_o therefore_o not_o of_o the_o body_n and_o if_o the_o ear_n shall_v say_v because_o i_o be_o not_o the_o eye_n i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o body_n be_v it_o therefore_o not_o of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v though_o the_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n out_o of_o discontent_n and_o envy_n and_o emulation_n shall_v separate_v from_o each_o other_o and_o deny_v that_o they_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o body_n yet_o they_o be_v of_o the_o body_n still_o for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o schism_n in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n be_v occasion_v by_o a_o emulation_n of_o spiritual_a gift_n and_o unless_o every_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v a_o eye_n or_o a_o hand_n that_o be_v have_v the_o most_o eminent_a gift_n they_o envy_v and_o divide_v from_o each_o other_o as_o if_o they_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o body_n which_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o be_v as_o absurd_a as_o if_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o foot_n shall_v deny_v their_o relation_n to_o the_o same_o natural_a body_n because_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o use_n and_o honour_n however_o if_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v possible_a in_o the_o natural_a body_n they_o will_v all_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o body_n still_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o show_v that_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n be_v the_o one_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n unite_v to_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o baptism_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o division_n of_o christendom_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o division_n of_o christendom_n be_v and_o whether_o they_o be_v such_o as_o whole_o destroy_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o body_n all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n by_o disow_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n as_o the_o visible_a head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n but_o this_o do_v not_o destroy_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o body_n because_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o body_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o union_n of_o all_o church_n to_o one_o visible_a head_n but_o in_o their_o union_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o one_o lord_n of_o the_o church_n some_o church_n be_v divide_v in_o faith_n not_o but_o that_o they_o agree_v in_o the_o necessary_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n for_o to_o renounce_v any_o essential_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n do_v so_o far_o unchurch_n but_o some_o church_n believe_v only_o what_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v other_o together_o with_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n teach_v heretical_a doctrine_n contrary_a to_o that_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o though_o this_o must_v of_o necessity_n divide_v communion_n for_o if_o any_o church_n corrupt_v the_o christian_a faith_n with_o new_a and_o perverse_a doctrine_n of_o her_o own_o other_o orthodox_n christian_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v as_o they_o do_v yet_o both_o of_o they_o be_v true_a christian_a church_n still_o for_o the_o true_a faith_n make_v a_o true_a church_n but_o only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o those_o who_o profess_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n without_o any_o corrupt_a mixture_n be_v sound_n and_o orthodox_n church_n other_o church_n be_v more_o or_o less_o pure_a according_a to_o the_o various_a corruption_n of_o their_o faith._n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o christian_a sacrament_n and_o christian_a worship_n every_o church_n which_o observe_v the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o worship_v god_n the_o father_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a church_n but_o those_o church_n which_o corrupt_v this_o worship_n though_o they_o be_v true_a be_v corrupt_a church_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o
