M. Hardinge.

VVe aunswere, that in partes of the churche, faultes may be founde, and sundrie men that seme to be of the Churche, and be in the Churche in deede, maie fal and perish: al this we graunt.* 1.1 But that the whole, catholique, and vniuersal Churche, whose faith we professe, may erre, fall, and faile: that we denie vtterly, whiche had ben this Defenders part to proue, els he talketh to no purpose. And where S. Paule rebuketh al the Galathians in general, as though al had forsaken their faith, he doth it after the wonte of the Prophetes, both in that and other epistles, for the greater partes sake, re∣prehending al, though some deserue praise. As for the Corinthians, though many among them were faulty, yet who considereth how be beginneth his epistle to them, shal finde that he‡ 1.2 acknowleged a Churche among them. For thus he writeth: Paule by vocation by Apostle, &c. to the churche of God which is at Corinth. &c.
