Cap. 2. A comparison of the false Church with the true.
Where falsehood and lying hath usurped the dominion, there is no Church,1 for the foundation of the Church is laid upon the doctrine of the Apostles and Prophets,2 Christ being him self the head corner stone, therefore if the doctrine of the Apostles and Prophets by whom the faithful are commanded to repose their salvation in only Christ, be taken away, the Church must needs fall down.
