Smith. I told you whereupon the true Church is builded, and I affirm in England to be the congregation of God, and also in Omnem terram, as it is written: Their sound is gone forth into all lands, and that this is the afflicted & persecuted Church, which ye cease not to imprison, slay & kill.1 And in Corinth was not all the congregation of God, but a number of those holy and elect people of God. For Paul neither Peter were present at Corinth when they wrote, & yet were they of the Church of God, as many thousands moe, which also communicate in that holy spirit.
