This church at Jerusalem though it had many corruptions in it,1 yet our Saviour Christ calls it holy: and it was a true Church of God. Then hence I conclude, that the Church of God in England, though there be in it many blemishes & corruptions, yet may it be, and in truth is the true Church of God. For the Church of God in England is proportionable to the Church at Jerusalem for as they had Moses and the Prophets read and expounded, so have we: nay, we have the Gospel now soundly preached▪ which they then had not in so plain and plentiful manner as we have. They had the Sacraments of the old Testament: so we have Baptism and the Supper of the Lord. ⟨p. 61⟩Their Church was a mother church to derive Religion to many other: and though our Church cannot be called a Mother church, yet it may be truly called a nursing Church to many neighbour churches round about us.
