CHAP. I. (Book 1)
Touching the word, CHVRCH. (Book 1)
THe word CHVRCH, is deriued of the word Kyrk; This latter, beeing still retayned both of Germaine & our North-brittaine. That the letter K. comes so to be written with CH. the reason is plaine, when as it is remem∣bred, that the word is original∣ly Greeke, & their letters Kappa and CHI, we confound, vsing the one indifferently for the other. As for V. in the word Church, it hauing in stead thereof, Y. in the word Kyrk, that falles out by same reason, as some pronounce the letter, Vpsilon, others Ypsilon.
The Greeke word is* 1.1 Kyriake (of Kyrios, Lord) for that the place so tearmed, is the Lords-house or Temple. * 1.2 Goropius Becanus in his Amazonica, findes fault with Nannius for being on this minde; and thereupon pres∣seth two words of their owne language, Car, signifying Amiable; and Rac, I touch. But this is too farre fetcht, and to no good purpose; and the rather, for that it is no noueltie to find, both their tongue, and ours, and others, to borrow of Iauan, I meane the Greekes. Amongest hun∣dreds, take one familiar example. We haue a certaine Fruit, which we call Cherry (marke heere also, Ch. for K.) the French call it Ceris••; the Italian, Ciriegia (frutto;) the Spaniard, Ceresa (fruto;) the Latine, Cerasum; the Ger∣maine,

Kirse: And all these, deriued from the Greeke word Kerásion or Kêrasos. And if this haue falne out in wordes of such qualitie, how much more is it like, that the language of the New Testament (and it also, the most vniuersall Language of ••aphets people) should vn∣to the New Testaments house of Religion (so well as to the people) giue the name of Kyriake, by Contraction, Kyrk? In latter sound, Church.
