Church, when not taken for a house, signifieth the same that ecclesia signified in the Grecian commonwealth, that is to say, a congregation or an assembly of citizens called forth to hear the magistrate speak unto them; and which in the commonwealth of Rome was called concio ; as he that spake was called ecclesiastes and concionator . And when they were called forth by lawful authority (Acts 19:39), it was Ecclesia legitima , a “lawful Church,” ἔννομος ἐκκλησία . But when they were excited by tumultuous and seditious clamour, then it was a confused Church, ἐκκλησία συγκεχυμένη .
