2. And for our Church; 1. They that are of that one holy Catholic Church, whereof Christ is the head, and all true ⟨p. 119⟩Christians are members, are of the true Church: (For there is but one Catholic Church:) But so are we: therefore, &c.

But all this will not serve them without a Catalogue, and telling them where our Church was before Luther: To this we further answer; we have no peculiar Catholic Church of our own; for there is but one, and that is our Church: Wherever the Christian Church was, there was our Church. And wherever any Christians were congregate for Gods worship, there were Churches of the same sort, as our particular Churches. And wherever Christianity was, there our Religion was: For we know no Religion but Christianity. And would you have us give you a Catalogue of all the Christians in the world, since Christ? Or would you have us as vain as H. T. in his Manual, that names you some Popes, and about twenty professors of their faith in each age, as if twenty or thirty men were the Catholic Church: Or as if those men were proved to be Papists by his naming them? This is easy, but silly disputing.
