XIX. _Of the Church_.

The visible Church of Christ is a congregation of faithful men, in

the which the pure Word of God is preached, and the Sacraments be

duly ministered according to Christ's ordinance in all those things

that of necessity are requisite to the same.

As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred;

so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and

manner of ceremonies, but also in matters of faith.
