We may well bring them into two.
Which is the first?
It is that there is a Churche, that is to say, one such com∣panie and communaltie as I haue euen
nowe spoken of, vnited by the spirite of God, of the whiche all the faithful, which are thorow out the world, are true mem∣bres.
And the second?
It is touching the benefites of Iesus Christ, whiche are communicated to this holy companie, by the vertue of the holy Ghost.
