A discourse, of the true and visible marks of the Catholic Church writtenA discourse, of the true and visible markes of the Catholique Churche vvritten

¹Now, because I see some (not yielding unto these things, which we have spoken in general, concerning the fundamental or principal points of our religion) again to demand what those should be: I answer that these articles are to be called grounds or principles, which being laid, the whole building remaineth: & which being over thrown, all things builded thereupon fall to the ground. And all these things, we proofs to have been described with great shortness & plainness, out of the word of God in the Creed, which they call the Apostles. Which thing ought to be added to the ten commandments, & the Lords prayer of ⟨image 41⟩the which, that, to wit, the ten commandments, doth very compendiously set out the order of Christian life: and this, that is, the Lords prayer, doth very briefly also set out, right invocation and prayer. This (I say) is that fundamental, true, and perpetual mark of the Catholic church, which shall never be blotted out unto the worlds end: but which nevertheless ought to be expounded, out of the writings of the Prophets and Apostles, from whence it is taken, that all men may understand it and keep it, as much as in them lieth.

¹Now, because I sée some (not yéelding vnto these things, which we haue spokē in general, cōcerning ye fundamental or principall points of our religion) again to demād what those shold be: I answer yt these articles are to be called grounds or principles, which being laid, ye whole building remaineth: & which being ouer thrown, al things builded therupon fall to ye ground. And al these things, we profes to haue bene described wt great shortnesse & plainnes, out of the word of God in ye Créed, which they cal the Apostles. Which thing ought to be added to ye ten commandements, & the Lords praier of ⟨image 41⟩the which, that, to wit, ye ten commaundements, doth verie compendiously set out the order of Christian life: and this, that is, ye Lords praier, doth very briefly also set out, right inuocation and praier. This (I say) is yt fundamental, true, and perpetuall mark of ye Catholike church, which shall neuer bee blotted out vnto the worlds end: but which neuerthelesse ought to be expounded, out of the wrytings of the Prophets and Apostles, frō whence it is taken, that al men may vnderstand it and keepe it, as much as in them lyeth.
