§. 23. Of the restraint of the benefit of Christs headship to them only that are of his body.
That none but those who are of Christs body, shall partake of the benefit of his office, is clear by other like titles of restraint, as uhis people, and xhis sheep: but especially by denying to the world the benefit of his intercession. yI pray not for the world, saith he. In this respect this position (out of the Church no salvation) is without exception true: for the body is the true, Catholic, invisible Church: he that is not a member of this Church, but is out of it, hath not Christ to be his head 4and Saviour, whence then can he have salvation?
