i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o church_n 1._o the_o church_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o as_o militant_a or_o triumphant_a the_o church_n militant_a be_v that_o

have_v thus_o premise_v this_o distinction_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v particular_o of_o the_o church_n militant_a 1._o then_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o churcrh_fw-mi militant_a here_o on_o earth_n consist_v partly_o of_o such_o as_o be_v true_o of_o it_o partly_o of_o such_o as_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o outward_a profession_n

a_o visible_a company_n of_o people_n profess_v the_o gospel_n whether_o they_o do_v it_o in_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n or_o no._n it_o do_v consist_v of_o good_a and_o bad_a it_o be_v compare_v to_o

what_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v it_o be_v call_v invisible_a because_o it_o be_v not_o visible_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n they_o can_v see_v the_o profession_n but_o whether_o it_o
