of_o the_o church_n the_o answer_n we_o understand_v thereby_o be_v the_o congregation_n or_o company_n of_o those_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n for_o the_o church_n in_o the_o german_n tongue_n

christian_a church_n and_o this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n we_o saint_n have_v also_o in_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o to_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o

these_o cause_n first_o because_o all_o the_o faithful_a there_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v that_o be_v to_o say_v chief_o the_o

do_v all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o universal_a church_n believe_v &_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o only_a intercessor_n to_o god_n the_o 7._o father_n &_o therefore_o come_v they_o
