5 The Church visible.

The Papist proceedes.
[ 10] THis is another marke most cleare, the Church of God must still appeare; And as a City on a hill, so must we see it flourish still; * 1.1And as a candle shining bright, so must Gods Church appeare in sight. Our Sauiour saith, If one offend, and will not by rebukes amend, Esteeme him as a wicked man, a Heathen or a Publican.
The Protestants answere.
HOw long will Papists blinded be, in that which euery eye may see? The Church is called Militant, * 1.2and troubles it doth neuer want: So that sometimes as Sunne and Moone, it is eclip'st and hath her doome, In mans conceit to shine no more: but God againe doth her restore, * 1.3To shine and shew her beautie bright, to teach and censure men aright.
