16The mountain of God. For better discerning the true Church from other congregations, the Prophet here describeth certain properties thereof, for he calleth it a mountain, because it is most visible to all men. Secondly a fat mountain, that is, replenished with all virtues, and gifts of the Holy Ghost; whereof it is called Holy. Thirdly it is crudded, or consolidated in unity of faith and Religion, which conjoin the whole body, making it solid and firm, as the runnet turneth liquid milk into curd, and so into cheese. Fourthly, it is the Congregation, wherein God always remaineth, even to the end, for ever; which showeth two other properties; that the Church never faileth, nor erreth in doctrine: God still dwelling therein, and consequently conserveth it from error in doctrine.The mountaine of God. For better diſcerning the true Church from other congregations, the Prophet here deſcribeth certaine proprieties therof, for he calleth it a mountane, becauſe it is moſt viſible to al men. Secondly a fatte mountane, that is, repleniſhed vvithal vertues, and giftes of the Holie Ghoſt; vvherof it is called Holie. Thirdly it is crudded, or conſolidated in vnitie of faith and Religion, vvhich conioyne the vvhole bodie, making it ſolide and firme, as the ruen turneth liquide milke into curde, and ſo into cheeſe. Fourtly, it is the Congregation, vvherin God alvvayes remaneth, euen to the end, for euer; vvhich thevveth tvvo other proprieties; that the Church neuer faileth, nor erreth in doctrin: God ſtil dvvelling therin, and conſequently conſerueth it from error in doctrin.
17Why suppose you crudded mountains. As for other congregations, it is certain and evident, that they are not the Church of God, because they are not crudded, that is, not united, in the same points of faith, but only in negative points, and in general opposition against the Catholic Church, and among themselves notoriously disagreeing and divided. As they also want the other marks of the true Church.VVhy ſuppoſe you crudded montaines. As for other congregations, it is certaine and euident, that they are not the Church of God, becauſe they are not crudded, that is, not vnited, in the ſame pointes of faith, but only in negatiue pointes, and in general oppoſition againſt the Catholique Church, and among themſelues notoriouſly diſagreing and diuided. As they alſo vvant the other markes of the true Church.
