jerem._n 17._o wherefore_o this_o preposition_n ●n_n be_v join_v in_o the._n xij_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n only_o to_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n for_o we_o confess_v that_o we_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n in_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n furthermore_o cyprian_n and_o other_o holy_a father_n do_v excellent_o teach_v in_o their_o interpretation_n of_o the_o creed_n that_o we_o must_v believe_v there_o be_v a_o holy_a church_n but_o not_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o do_v we_o not_o teach_v any_o

the_o church_n the_o answer_n we_o understand_v thereby_o be_v the_o congregation_n or_o company_n of_o those_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n for_o the_o church_n in_o the_o german_n tongue_n be_v

christian_a church_n and_o this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n we_o saint_n have_v also_o in_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o to_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n we_o add_v that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o communion_n or_o fellowship_n of_o saint_n as_o though_o we_o shall_v say_v the_o church_n be_v none_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o

these_o cause_n first_o because_o all_o the_o faithful_a there_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v that_o be_v to_o say_v chief_o the_o

do_v all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o universal_a church_n believe_v &_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o only_a intercessor_n to_o god_n the_o 7._o father_n &_o therefore_o come_v they_o unto_o he_o only_o for_o they_o steadfast_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o anoint_a and_o ordain_v king_n and_o priest_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n
