that_o that_o assembly_n be_v assemble_v in_o christ_n his_o name_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o there_o christ_n be_v present_a and_o undoubted_o that_o assembly_n where_o christ_n

though_o it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n and_o right_a use_n of_o sacrament_n be_v undoubted_a note_n of_o christ_n his_o church_n yet_o hereby_o we_o may_v perceine_v that_o

some_o in_o the_o corinthian_a church_n 15._o church_n 1._o cor._n 15._o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o other_o 11._o other_o 1._o cor._n 11._o abuse_v the_o lord_n supper_n most_o pernitious_o and_o yet_o there_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o church_n in_o the_o one_o or_o other_o of_o they_o so_o that_o in_o a_o true_a church_n there_o may_v be_v in_o doctrine_n error_n
