Let us come before his presence with | thanks- *- giving : and shew ourselves \ glad in | him with psalms. For the Lord is a | great God : and a great \ King a | hove all gods. In his hand are all the corners of | the earth : and the strength of \ the hills | is his also. The sea is his, and he | made it : and his hands pre^pa--red | the dry land. 0 come, let us worship, and | fall down : and kneel be ^ fore the | Lord our Maker. For he is the Lord | our - - God : and we are the people of his pasture, and \ the sheep | of his hand.

QUICUNQUE VULT , T^HOSOEYEB i will -*- be | saved : before all ^ * things it is necessary that he hold the Catho- lick I Faith. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and : un-*-de [ filed ; without doubt he shall perish ever \ lastingly. AT MORNING PRAYER, And the Catholick : Faith is | this : That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in \ Unity; Neither confound ring - -the | Persons : nor divid- ing the \ Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another : of -•- the I Son : and another of the Holy \ Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, : is -•- all | one : the Glory equal, the Majesty co^ eternal. Such as the Father is, such : is -•- the | Son ; and such is the Holy \ Ghost. The Father uncreate, the Son : un-*-cre | ate : and the Holy Ghost uncre^ate. The Father incomprehensible, the Son injcom-*- pre I hensible ; and the Holy Ghost incompre ^ hen- sible. ' The Father eternal, the : Son -*- e | ternal : and the Holy Ghost external. And yet they are not : three e | ternals ; but one e I ternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three : un-*-cre | ated ; but one uncreated, and one incompre ^ hensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the : Son A1 1 mighty : and the Holy Ghost Al^ mighty. And yet they are not : three -•- A1 1 mighties : but one Al^ mighty. So the Father is God, the : Son ---is | God : and the Holy Ghost is \ God. And yet they are : not -•- three I Gods : but one \ God. So likewise the Father is Lord, : the Son | Lord : and the Holy Ghost \ Lord. AT MORNING PRAYER, And yet : not three | Lords : hut one \ Lord. For like as we are compelled by the : Chris- -tian | verity ; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and \ Lord ; So are we forbidden by the : Catholick Pe-| ligion : to say, There be three Gods or three \ Lords. The Father is : made of | none ; neither cre- ated, nor be ^gotten. The Son is of the : Father -*- a | lone : not made, nor created, but be ^gotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and : of the | Son : neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but pro I ceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers ; one Son, : not -•- three | Sons : one Holy Ghost, not three Holy \ Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore, or : af-'-ter | other ; none is greater, or less than an \ other ; But the whole three Persons are co-e:ternal to 1 gether : and co \ equal. So that in all things, as : is a ] foresaid : the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be \ worshipped. He therefore that : will be | saved : must thus think of the \ Trinity. Furthermore, it is necessary to ever : lasting sal I vation : that he also believe rightly the Incar- nation of our Lord Jesus \ Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe : and con I fess : that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and \ Man ; God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten be- : fore the | worlds : and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the \ world ; AT MORNING PRAYER. k-.*— ' Perfect God, and : per- -feet | Man : of a reason- able soul and human flesh sub \ sisting ; Equal to the Father, as : touching his | God- head : and inferior to the Father, as touching his \ Manhood. Who although he be : God -•- and | Man : yet he is not two, but one \ Christ ; One ; not by conversion of the Godhead : in-*-to | flesh : but by taking of the Manhood into \ God; One altogether ; not by con : fusion of | Sub- stance : but by unity of \ Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh : is -•- one | man : sv) God and Man is one \ Christ ; Who suffered for : our -*- sal | vation : descended into hell, rose again the third day from the \ dead. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, : God A1 | mighty : from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the \ dead. At whose coming all men shall rise again : with -*- their | bodies : and shall give account for their own \ works. And they that have done good shall go into life : e-*-ver | lasting : and they that have done evil into everlasting \ Are. This is the : Catho-*-lick | Faith : which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be \ saved. Glory be to the Father, and : to -•- the | Son : AND to the Holy \ Ghost ; As IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, IS NOW, AND j E-’-VER I SHALL BE : WORLD WITHOUT END. A \ MEN.
