often renewed that dedication by partaking of the memorials of the Redeemer's death and passion, and thus have promised their constant homage, obedience, and adoration to the "Holy, Blessed, and Glorious Trinity, three persons and one God." Let us, therefore, my beloved Christian brethren, with all humility and reverence, unite with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of Heaven, even with the Cherubim and Seraphim, also with the Apostles, Prophets, and Martyrs, and with the Holy Church throughout all the world, in praising and acknowledging the "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD OF SABAOTH," even "THE FATHER OF AN INFINITE MAJESTY," ""HIS HONOURABLE, TRUE, AND ONLY SON," and " ALSO THE HOLY GHOST THE COMFORTER," living and reigning together, one God, world without end. Amen.

Cor. ii. 8.) Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Pet. i. 11.)

God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John iii. 16.)
No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John i. 18.) The first-born of
every creature-[more correct, born before all creation]. (Col. i. 15.) He is
before all things, (Col. i. 17.).

in the world; perfect man, of a reasonable
soul and human flesh subsisting: inferior
to the Father, as touching his manhood.

he is not two, but one Christ; one, not by
conversion of the Godhead into flesh; but
by taking of the manhood into God. One
