Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into Hell; The Third day he rose from the dead; He afcended into Heaven, And fitteth on the right Hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he fhall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghoft; The Holy Catholic Church; The communion of Saints; The forgiveness of fins; The refurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

I

¶ Or this.

Believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things vifible and invifible:

And in one Lord Jefus Chrift, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one fubftance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our falvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified alfo for us under Pontius Pilate. He fuffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and

afcended into Heaven, and fit✔ teth on the right hand of the Father; and he fhall come a gain, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whofe kingdom fhall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghoft, the Lord and giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who fpake by the Prophets. And I believe one Catholic and Apoftolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptifm for the remiffion of fins; and I look for the refurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
