Since the blessed 39 Articles have arisen in discussion, could someone
enlighten me on the following?
Article 19: Of the Church
etc
As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred; so also
the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of
Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith.
The reference to the Church of Rome is obvious, but what of the other
three? Of which groups were the Reformers thinking, and to what historical
events were they referring?
