We believe, that there is one Church of God, & that the same is not shut up (as in times past among the Jews) into some One corner or Kingdom, but that it is Catholic, & Universal, and dispersed throughout the whole world. So that there is now no Nation, which may truly complain, y• they be shut forth, & may not be one of the Church & people of God: and y• this Church is the Kingdom, the Body, and the Spouse of Christ: that Christ alone is the Prince of this Kingdom: that Christ alone is the Head of this Body: and that Christ alone is the Bridegroom of this Spouse.
