I grant that the name of the church is taken after three diverse manners in the scripture.1 Sometime for the hole multitude of them which profess the name of Christ / of the which they are also named christians. But as S. Paul saith of the Jew / 2Not every one is a Jew / that is a Jew outwardly et c. Neither yet all that be of Israel / are counted the seed. Even so not every one which is a christian outwardly / is a christian in deed.3 For if any man have not the spirit of Christ / the same is none of his. Therefore that church which is his body / and of which Christ is the head / standeth only of living stones / and true christians / 4not only outwardly in name and title / but inwardly in heart and in truth.
I graunt that the name of the churche is taken after three diuerse maners in the scripture.1 Sometime for the hole multitude of them which professe the name of Christe / of the which they are also named christians. But as S. Paul saith of the Iew / 2Not euery one is a Iew / that is a Iew outwardly et c. Neither yet all that bee of Israell / are counted the seed. Euen so not euery one which is a christian outwardly / is a christian in deed.3 For if any manne haue not the spirite of Christe / the same is none of his. Therfore that church which is his body / and of which Christ is the heade / standeth onely of liuing stones / and true christians / 4not only outwardly in name and title / but inwardli in harte and in truth.
