Part III, Article XII. Of the Church.
1] We do not
concede to them that they are the Church, and [in truth] they
are not [the Church]; nor will we listen to those things which,
under the name of Church, they enjoin or forbid.
2] For,
thank God, [to-day] a child seven years old knows what the Church
is, namely, the holy believers and lambs who hear the voice
of their Shepherd. For the children pray thus:
I believe in
one holy [catholic or]
Christian Church.
3] This holiness
does not consist in albs, tonsures, long gowns, and other of
their ceremonies devised by them beyond Holy Scripture, but
in the Word of God and true faith.
