The word is used, and that only in Act. 19. for a Civil Assembly. Yea, it's 1said [Greek or Hebrew], The Assembly was confused. The Athenians called their public meetings [Greek or Hebrew]; The word is used in Thucydides, as the learned observe. The Hebrew hath two words Cohel, which is for the most part translated Ecclesia by the Septuagint, and Gnedeth which is translated [Greek or Hebrew]; the Church, doth rather answer Cohel, than Gnedeth, because under the New Testament it is not fixed. As for such who would understand that place, Mat. 18. Tell the Church, of a Senate or Civil Power, it's so improbable, that it's not worth time to confute it. The word therefore is most frequently used in the New Testament, for an holy Society gathered together in an holy manner for holy ends.

This Church is meant in the Creed, when we believe there is an holy Catholic Church, and so a Communion of Saints, though some would have it a communion in holy things. To this Church belonged all the godly that lived in the Old Testament.
