Here we see what Church is a happy Church, viz: that which hath the doctrine and word of God, & the Sacraments sincerely delivered & administered. After the Apostle having spoken of his own cre, he cometh to the care of the Colossians, exhorting them as they had received, so they walk in that they had received. Two things then are necessary, viz: what we ⟨p. 117⟩receive, viz. not the doctrine of Antichrist instead of the doctrine of CHRIST, not the doctrine of error in stead of the truth. And secondly that having the doctrine of truth that we walk in it.

The manner of walking is, first that they be rooted, and secondly that they be knit, viz. that they be constant and steadfast: before in the former chapter he said that they should be settled, which cannot be easily moved, and to be grounded.
