14. It follows after
commendation of the Trinity, “The Holy Church.” God is pointed
out, and His temple. “For the temple of God is holy,” says the
Apostle, “which (temple) are ye.”1801
This same is the holy
Church, the
one
Church, the true
Church, the catholic
Church, fighting against
all
heresies:
fight, it can: be
fought down, it cannot. As for
heresies, they went all out of it, like as
unprofitable branches
pruned from the
vine: but itself abideth in its root, in its
Vine,
in its charity. “The gates of hell shall not prevail against
it.”
1802
