fall_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o merciful_a voice_n of_o god_n have_v and_o will_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n consent_v together_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o true_a worship_n 4_o now_o in_o asmuch_o as_o all_o those_o who_o have_v give_v their_o name_n to_o be_v of_o this_o meeting_n have_v not_o either_o do_v the_o same_o unfainedlie_o or_o show_v that_o constancy_n that_o have_v be_v meet_a by_o reason_n that_o satan_n never_o cease_v to_o sow_v tare_n in_o the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n have_v be_v always_o enforce_v to_o take_v the_o church_n sometime_o in_o a_o more_o general_a sometime_o in_o a_o more_o special_a signification_n 5_o the_o church_n therefore_o be_v general_o call_v the_o congregation_n of_o all_o those_o who_o profess_v true_a religion_n whether_o they_o do_v it_o unfainedlie_o and_o persevere_v therein_o or_o hypocriticallie_o and_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o same_o in_o special_a it_o be_v take_v for_o all_o those_o only_a who_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n have_v elect_v before_o all_o world_n do_v effectual_o call_v when_o he_o think_v good_a in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o true_a faith_n and_o persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n may_v be_v just_o account_v to_o be_v of_o god_n flock_n 6_o hence_o spring_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o visible_a and_o invisible_a church_n of_o the_o visible_a which_o be_v so_o account_v by_o the_o note_n of_o the_o outward_a profession_n without_o any_o difference_n between_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o close_a hypocrite_n of_o the_o invisible_a which_o be_v restrain_v unto_o those_o only_a who_o true_o and_o constant_o believe_v to_o the_o end_n &_o therefore_o call_v invisible_a because_o true_a faith_n can_v assure_o be_v discern_v by_o none_o save_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o in_o who_o it_o be_v 7_o this_o invisible_a church_n be_v only_o one_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n the_o father_n one_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o head_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n one_o faith_n one_o hope_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o one_o eternal_a life_n and_o it_o be_v therefore_o call_v catholic_a that_o be_v universal_a both_o because_o it_o have_v be_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v always_o the_o one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o also_o because_o god_n have_v always_o gather_v they_o into_o one_o body_n out_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o people_n as_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o his_o mercy_n whereas_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o church_n be_v particular_o call_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o 8_o and_o although_o god_n for_o many_o age_n have_v separate_v the_o gentile_n who_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o affirm_v to_o be_v without_o god_n &_o stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n yet_o be_v there_o almost_o no_o age_n wherein_o he_o call_v not_o some_o of_o the_o gentile_n until_o that_o the_o particion-wall_n be_v break_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o promise_v make_v unto_o abraham_n be_v accomplish_v namely_o that_o all_o the_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v in_o his_o seed_n because_o they_o be_v to_o become_v abraham_n seed_n by_o christ_n 9_o the_o particular_a assembly_n of_o this_o body_n disperse_v throughout_o the_o world_n consider_v either_o general_o or_o special_o as_o it_o be_v visible_a or_o invisible_a be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o member_n that_o make_v up_o one_o mystical_a body_n 10_o and_o this_o be_v that_o catholic_a church_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o belief_n therefore_o call_v holy_a because_o it_o be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n separate_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o consecrate_v unto_o god_n 11_o this_o same_o church_n be_v right_o divide_v into_o the_o militant_a and_o triumphant_a by_o the_o militant_a be_v understand_v the_o company_n of_o the_o true_a believe_v yet_o remain_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o strive_v with_o satan_n and_o the_o remnant_n of_o their_o flesh_n by_o the_o triumphant_a be_v mean_v those_o who_o bless_a spirit_n be_v already_o gather_v unto_o the_o lord_n even_o until_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o at_o that_o glorious_a come_n of_o christ_n have_v receive_v their_o glorious_a body_n shall_v triumph_v with_o christ_n their_o head_n for_o evermore_o 12_o that_o holiness_n whereby_o this_o catholic_n church_n which_o be_v also_o invisible_a in_o that_o sense_n that_o we_o have_v speak_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v altogether_o without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o according_a unto_o the_o belief_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o this_o true_a and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n we_o hold_v again_o that_o the_o force_n of_o that_o truth_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o be_v always_o declare_v and_o obey_v in_o the_o church_n universal_o consider_v wherefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o church_n take_v in_o this_o sense_n the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 13_o but_o if_o the_o church_n be_v respect_v not_o universal_o but_o particular_o that_o be_v according_a as_o it_o have_v diverse_a assembly_n here_o and_o there_o gather_v together_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o particular_a church_n may_v err_v yea_o in_o some_o fundamental_a point_n either_o in_o part_n or_o in_o whole_a yet_o so_o as_o the_o elect_n do_v always_o return_v unto_o the_o way_n neither_o can_v those_o particular_a spot_v that_o cleave_v unto_o it_o for_o a_o time_n make_v the_o universal_a church_n to_o lose_v her_o natural_a beauty_n 14_o we_o confess_v to_o speak_v nothing_o here_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o manner_n that_o this_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v much_o more_o if_o we_o several_o consider_v the_o member_n of_o particular_a church_n for_o such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o man_n judgement_n even_o in_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n that_o you_o can_v find_v any_o so_o endue_v with_o the_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o he_o do_v stagger_v in_o some_o thing_n especial_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v provoke_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n do_v give_v efficacy_n and_o force_n unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n 15_o although_o that_o the_o catholic_a church_n can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o truth_n yet_o both_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n together_o with_o the_o holy_a story_n in_o general_a both_o before_o and_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n have_v foretell_v and_o these_o very_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v do_v testify_v that_o it_o have_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o particular_a church_n and_o man_n fall_v away_o yea_o and_o strive_v against_o the_o truth_n the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n seem_v for_o a_o time_n though_o not_o utterlie_o yet_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o be_v clean_o extinguish_v 16_o the_o true_a mark_n therefore_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n can_v not_o be_v the_o multitude_n or_o personal_a succession_n but_o the_o doctrine_n true_o teach_v out_o of_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lawful_a administration_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o god_n ordinance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o wit_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 17_o these_o two_o note_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o lawful_a form_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v prescribe_v in_o god_n word_n of_o the_o holy_a ministry_n constitute_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o the_o church_n sometime_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o not_o only_a wolf_n do_v supply_v the_o place_n of_o lawful_a pastor_n but_o also_o the_o whole_a form_n of_o the_o ordinary_a ministry_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o plain_a confusion_n &_o that_o sometime_o the_o external_a ministry_n be_v for_o a_o time_n altogether_o break_v of_o the_o church_n be_v extraordinarilie_o feed_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n therefore_o be_v not_o this_o mark_n simple_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o point_v out_o the_o church_n here_o upon_o earth_n 18_o now_o wheresoever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v teach_v there_o be_v no_o question_n to_o be_v make_v but_o that_o the_o church_n be_v there_o though_o there_o be_v few_o that_o give_v ear_n unto_o the_o same_o with_o fruit_n 19_o that_o therefore_o be_v a_o true_a church_n be_v it_o universal_a or_o particular_a which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o can_v add_v nothing_o thereunto_o detract_v
