Such things as have been treated of hitherto in th•• book be in stead of the prologue or preface, as they terme• Now at last shall the matter it self be propounded to us.1 H• therefore followeth the second part of this book, which r• cheth to the fourth chapter. In the which is Christ describe unto us with his catholic church. For first in deed is set • fore us the most sacred Image of Christ our Lord, teachi•• what a one he is on the right hand of his father in glory & how he sitting on the right hand of his father, worketh n• uerthelesse in his church continually, never absent, prese• always. Of what sort moreover the church is here• earth, is figured in those seven congregations. Here therefore are showed the excellent gifts of churches, and again i• shameful errors: How the Lord Christ confirmeth such are sliding and ready to fall, establisheth those that stands forteth the weak hearted, restraineth the foolish hardy, a• preserveth things that are corrupt: Finally how faithful • stours of the church must work and travel, with the pe• ple committed to their credit. For here is exceedingly w• taught, what is the repairing and preservation of church• Where also a brief some of the whole ecclesiastical and […] some doctrine brought in to an abridgement, shall be set be• us. For here is repeated from heaven of Christ in glory, […] doctrine of true religion, which he had set forth more pl• tifully, when he was yet here in earth: And here most ap• applieth it to churches, after consideration of the same.
