Nevertheless awe believe that it behoveth carefully & wisely to discern, ⟨image 154⟩which is the true Church, for that this title hath been too too much abused. bWe say therefore, according to the word of God, that it is the company of the faithful, which agree together to follow the same word, and the pure Religion dependeth thereon: and which profit therein, all the days of their life, increasing and confirming them selves in the fear of GOD, according as they need to advance themselves, and to march daily forward: c& when they have done their uttermost, that it behoveth them continually, to have recourse to the remission of their since. dAnd nevertheless we deny not but that among the faithful, there are Hypocrites and reprobate, whose malice is not able to deface the title of the Church.
