¶Of the head of the Church.
¶Of the head of the Churche.
This place the Papists object unto us,1 & think that it maketh very much to establish their tyranny. See (say they) hereof sprung so many sects & heresies among you, because ye have not an Ecclesiastical Magistrate, & for that ye have fallen from the only head of the Church. Wherefore that the state of the Church may be the quieter, there must be one head thereof in earth. But we neither will, nor may suffer this: because it is manifestly repugnant unto the word of God. We acknowledge one head of the Church that is Christ, from whom we feel that both life & spirit floweth and spreadeth abroad into all the rest of the body.
