And to the intent that ye may understand, that we have not forged this ⟨image 8⟩manner of speaking, and yet less this •inde of doctrine, seeing it is said that •he Church is the body of the Lord •one of his bones & flesh of his flesh •ea specially to attribute unto it the proper name of Christ,1 2in joining together the head and the members •s doeth the Apostle writing unto the Corinthians:3 how then be the reprobate comprehended in this number, seeing they be the members of the Devil? For it is a thing unpossible •o be of the members of Christ & of •he Devil at ones. This is it which S. Augustine wonderfully well haeth noted in his second book •he 12 chapter against Cresconius. The same distinction of the name of • Church the self same author used writing upon 64 Psalm, where •e sayeth that the Church, which […] signified by Jerusalem begun ⟨image 9⟩at Abel, and Babylon by Cain. And yet this notwithstanding in h•• first book of Baptism against th• Donatists, the 16 chapter taking th• Church in a more general signification, he sayeth that the same, which did engender Abel, Enoch. Noah Abraham & the Prophets, haeth also engendered Cain, Ismael and other• like. For conclusion therefore w• will take that which the same S Agustin haeth written thereof in same treatise in the 17 book 57 chapter: the which is also rehearsed in the 24 question the first chaptre omnibus considerates. &c.
