I believe in Iesus Christ who shall judge the Quick and the Dead Article VIII I believe in the Holy Ghost I Believe that besides all others whatsoever to whom the Name of Spirit is or may be given there is one particular and peculiar Spirit who is truly and properly a Person of a true real and personal Subsistence not a Created but an Uncreated Person and is therefore the true and one eternal God That though he be God yet he is not the Father nor the Son but the Spirit of the Father and the Son the third Person in the Blessed Trinity proceeding from the Father and the Son I believe that infinite and eternal Spirit to be not only of all perfect and infallible Holiness in himself but also to be the immediate Cause of all Holiness in us revealing the pure and undefiled Will of God inspiring the Blessed Apostles and enabling them to lay the Foundation and by a perpetual succession to continue the Edification of the Church illuminating the Understandings of particular Persons rectifying their Wills and Affections renewing their Corrupt Natures uniting their Persons unto Christ assuring them of the Adoption of Sons leading them in their Actions directing them in their Devotions by all ways and means purifying and sanctifying their Souls and Bodies to be fully and eternally accepted in the sight of God. This is the eternal Spirit of God and must consequently be Holy And thus I believe in the Holy Ghost Article IX The Holy Catholick Church the Communion of Saints I Believe that Christ by the preaching of the Apostles did gather unto himself a Church consisting of thousands of believing Persons and numerous Congregations to which he daily added such as should be saved and will successively and daily add unto the same unto the end of the World so that by the Virtue of his all-sufficient Promise I believe that there was hath been hitherto and now is and hereafter shall be so long as the Sun and Moon endure a Church of Christ one and the same This Church I believe to be Holy in general in respect of the Author the End the Institution and Administration of it and in particular in the Members whom I acknowledge to be really though but imperfectly holy here and shall be perfectly holy hereafter I look upon this Church not like that of the Iews limitted to one People confined to one Nation but by the Appointment and Command of Christ and by the Efficacy of his assisting Power to be spread over all Nations to be extended to all places to be propagated to all Ages to contain in it all Truths necessary to be known to require absolute Obedience from all men to the Commands of Christ and to furnish us with all Grace necessary to make our Persons acceptable and our Actions well pleasing in the sight of God. The Communion of Saints I believe that such Persons as are truly sanctified in the Church of Christ while they live among the Crooked Generations of men and struggle with all the Miseries of this World have Fellowship with God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Ghost as dwelling with them and taking up their Habitations in them That they partake of the Care and Kindness of the blessed Angels who take delight to minister for their benefit that besides the external Fellowship which they have in the Word and Sacraments with all the Members of the Church they have an intimate Union and Conjunction with all the Saints on earth as the living Members of Christ nor is this Union separated by the Death of any one but as Christ in whom they live is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the World so they have Fellowship with all the Saints which from the Death of Abel have ever departed in the true Faith and Fear of God and now enjoy the presence of the Father and follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth And thus I believe the Holy Catholick Church the Communion of Saints Article X. The Forgiveness of Sins I believe that whereas every Sin is a Transgression of the Law of God upon every Transgression there remains a Guilt upon the Transgressor and that Guilt brings an eternal Punishment so that all men being concluded under Sin they were all obliged to suffer the punishment of eternal Death yet it pleased God to give his Son his Son to give himself to be a surety for this Debt and to release us from these bonds And because without shedding of blood there is no Remission he gave his Life a Sacrifice for sin he laid it down as a Ransom even his precious Blood as a Price by way of Compensation and Satisfaction to the Will and Justice of God by which Propitiation God who was by our sins offended became reconciled and being so took off our Obligation to eternal punishment which is the Reward of our sins and appointed in the Church of Christ the Sacrament of Baptism for the first Remission and Repentance for the constant Forgiveness of all following Trespasses And thus I believe the Forgiveness of Sins Article XI The Resurrection of the Body I believe that as it is appointed for all men once to dy so it is also determined that all men shall rise from Death that the souls separated from our bodies are in the hand of God and live that the bodies dissolved into dust or scattered into ashes shall be gathered together again in themselves and re-united to their souls that the same Flesh which lived before shall be revived that the very same bodies which shall fall shall rise that this Resurrection shall be universal no man excepted no flesh left in the Grave that all the just shall be raised to a Resurrection of Life and all the Unjust to a Resurrection of Damnation that this shall be performed at the last day when the Trump shall sound And thus I believe the Resurrection of the Body Article XII And the Life everlasting I believe that the Unjust after their Resurrection and Condemnation shall be tormented for their sins in Hell and shall be kept there in Torments for ever so as the Justice of God shall never cease to inflict them nor the Persons of the wicked cease to be and suffer them And that the Just after their Resurrection and Absolution shall as the Blessed of the Father obtain the Inheritance and as the Servants of God enter into their Masters joy freed from all possibility of death sin and sorrow fill'd with all imaginable nay inconceivable fulness of Happiness confirmed in an absolute security of an eternal Enjoyment of this blessed state and so they shall continue with God and the Lamb for evermore And thus I believe the Life everlasting The LORD'S PRAYER Expounded in a Prayer The Order of the Petitions O Father of Mercies and God of all Pity who by thy eternal and only begotten Son Iesus Christ hast taught us to pray lend a gracious Ear to the Petitions of Creatures and
against me yet a stedfast and true Faith in Christ Jesus shall Triumph over it Vouchsafe O God that Faith unto thy Servant that I may be enabled by the fellowship of his Death and Resurrection to Crucify the old Man and Mortify the whole body of sin Make me strong O God in the Power of his Might that all the days of my Life I may be defended from all adversities and in the evil day the day of my death strengthned in the inner Man That having finished my course I may with those that have overcome through the Blood of the Lamb arrive at those Blessed Mansions that thou hast prepared for all those that fight the good fight of Faith. Grant that in the hopes of that I may victoriously fight under my Saviour's Banner against all the assaults of Sin the World and the Devil Hear me O Lord in these my requests for Jesus Christ his sake in whose Name and Words I further Pray as he hath taught me saying Our Father which art c. A Prayer to be said in time of Sickness O Most Gracious Merciful Father thou Lord of Life and Death in whose hands is the power of Sickness and Health Thou who woundest and healest whom thou wilt Unto thee O God I commit my self beseeching thee for thy love in Christ Jesus to be merciful unto me O my God I confess that I have many ways offended thee and provoked thy wrath and indignation against me but as I have been disobedient so now I return Penitent and heartily Submissive Remember O Lord that I am but dust and let not thy Spirit strive with me seeing thou hast promised that at what time soever a sinner does Repent from the bottom of his heart he shall live and not die Fulfill this Gracious word unto thy servant that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice My Flesh O Lord drieth up my Strength fails me and my Life draweth near to an end in all this thou art Just in chastiseing my disobedience and Merciful in not suffering me to run on any longer in the course of my sins and without such Fatherly admonitions how prone are we to forget thee O Lord I am comforted when I remember that thou lovest every Son whom thou Chastenest and scourgest every Son whom thou dost receive that when we receive correction God dealeth with us as with sons and if we be without it whereof all are partakers then we are bastards and not sons Lord I believe all this help thou mine unbelief I see that Iob Daniel Hezekiah and all thy holy Children have drunk of the cup that thou hast made their bed easy in their sickness and delivered their Souls out of trouble I therefore hope that as I am made partaker of their sufferings I shall also be a partaker of their Comfort and Refreshing O Lord let the Meditation of these and such like examples be always present with me and make me firmly believe that I shall receive the like deliverance as they did Add unto that Faith Patience that I may quietly undergoe whatever thy hand shall lay upon me and may receive this thy Fatherly chastisement with thanksgiving knowing that though this outward man perish yet the inward man shall be in the hands of its most faithful Creatour O Lord the Spirit is willing to be dissolved and to be with Christ but the flesh is weak pardon the weakness of my flesh and forgive the infirmities of my froward Nature which looks back to the world and is loath to be separated but fills me with impatience and murmuring Strengthen me with Faith which is the Victory whereby I shall overcome the world strengthen me with Patience wherein thy children possess their Souls strengthen me with Hope which is the true and firm Anchor of the Soul and strengthen me by thy Comfortable Promises in Christ Jesus my Lord and Saviour that thus I may wait for the Issue of thy Gracious Providence that if I live I may live to thy Glory if I die I may die in thy Favour receive the end of my Hope Patience and Faith which is the Salvation of my Soul in thy Everlasting Kingdom of Glory through Jesus Christ my only Saviour and Redeemer in whose Name and Words I conclude these my weak Prayers for whatever thou seest convenient for me saying Our Father which art c.
