York. A pretty matter, that you will take upon you to judge the church! I pray you, where hath your church been hitherto? For the church of Christ is catholic and visible hitherto.
Brad. My lord, I do not judge the church when I discern it from the congregation, and those which be not the church; and I never denied the church to be catholic and visible, although at some times it is more visible than at others.
Chich. I pray you tell me where the church which allowed your doctrine, was these 400 years?
Brad. I will tell you my lord, or rather you shall tell yourself, if you will tell this one thing, Where the church was in Elijah's time, when Elijah said he was left alone?
