The Church is in man, and not outside of him; and the Church at large
consists of the men who have the Church in them.--The Church consists
of those who from the heart acknowledge the Divine of the Lord, who
learn truths from Him by the Word, and do them.--Every one who lives
in the good of charity and of faith is a Church and a Kingdom of the
Lord.--The Church in general is constituted of those who are severally
Churches, however remote they are from one another.--The Church of the
Lord is scattered throughout the whole world.
