A16691 The rasing of the foundations of Brovvnisme Wherein, against all the writings of the principall masters of that sect, those chiefe conclusions in the next page, are, (amongst sundry other matters, worthie the readers knowledge) purposely handled, and soundely prooued. Also their contrarie arguments and obiections deliberately examined, and clearly refelled by the word of God. Bredwell, Stephen. 1588 (1588) STC 3599; ESTC S106388 120,820 166

church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n 12.4.5.6.7.8_o who_o be_v the_o head_n there_o of_o this_o body_n also_o consist_v of_o many_o member_n have_v distinct_a office_n &_o place_n which_o body_n

to_o the_o whole_a as_o member_n do_v in_o a_o natural_a body_n consider_v what_o follow_v &_o how_o absurd_a it_o be_v that_o you_o say_v that_o a_o particular_a member_n may_v separate_v itself_o

bodily_a unity_n though_o some_o part_n be_v long_a time_n sick_a there_o be_v possibility_n of_o their_o recovery_n yea_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o yet_o may_v the_o body_n live_v though_o with_o
