AE 1069 - the church is founded on two truths

AE 1069
. . . that the Lord has authority over heaven and earth,
and that the Word alone is holy and Divine;
for these two truths make the church itself of the Lord on earth,
for the church is a church from this
that the Lord is adored
and that the Word is read.

For the Lord reforms a person,
and the Word teaches how a person must live
that he may be reformed by the Lord;
therefore if these two truths are not acknowledged and received
the church itself perishes,
for upon these two truths the church is founded.
