And when M. More saith / that this word
church is knowen well ynough / I reporte me vnto the
conscyences of all the londe /
whether he saie truth or otherwise / or whether the
laye people vnderstonde by church the hole multytude of all that
professe christe / or the iuglinge sprytes onlye. And when he
saith that congregacion is a moore generall terme / iff yt were
yt hurteth not. For the circumstaunce doeth ever tell what
congregacyon ys ment. Neuerthelesse yet sayth he not the truth.
For whersoeuer I maye saye a congregacyon / there maye I saye a
church also as the church of the deuell / the church of sathan
/ the church of wretches / the church of wekedmen / the church
of lyers and a church of turkes therto.
