Against carnal Gospellers that hope still to be saved, when as yet they have no evidence that they are of this body: for the body is guided by the head; but those by the prince that ruleth in the Air, Ephes. 2.2. The members of the body love one another: but these hate and persecute the Saints. Briefly, this word body, imports two things, that is, 1 A mystical union with Christ by faith. 2 And a spiritual union one with another by love, whereof they have neither.

So much conc•rning the authority of Christ: The next point is the subiection of the Church, ver. 24.
Which subjection is due on the Churches part, in regard of the place of Christ, who is her head; but much more in regard that he is so wise, & so glorious a head, so provident and powerful to procure her good: and again, in that she is so far inferior unto him, and therefore meet it is that she subject her self; and unworthy she were of so great benefits, if she should not: as Vashti was in not obeying her husband the King.
