- CONCERNING NEW OBEDIENCE (OR A CHRISTIAN LIFE).
They likewise teach, this faith must bring forth good fruits; and that it is our duty to perform those good works which God has commanded, because he has enjoined them, and not in the expectation of thereby meriting justification before him.

For, remission of sins and justification are secured by faith; as the declaration of Christ himself implies: "When ye shall have done all those things, say, we are unprofitable servants." The same thing is taught by the ancient ecclesiastical writers: for Ambrose says, "this has been ordained by God, that he who believes in Christ is saved without works, receiving remission of sins gratuitously through faith alone." ARTICLE VII.

- OF THE CHURCH.
They likewise teach, that there will always be one holy church.

The church is the congregation of the saints, in which the gospel is correctly taught and the sacraments are properly administered.

And for the true unity of the church nothing more is required, than agreement concerning the doctrines of the gospel, and the administration of the sacraments.
