ARTICLES OF RELIGION AGREED UPON By both Houses and the principall Divines thorough all England and Wales for the avoiding of diversities of Opinions Whereunto is added His MAJESTIES Declaration in confirming the same Published by His Majesties speciall Command C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT London Printed for Theophilus Brown 1642. By the King BEing by Gods Ordinance according to Our just Title Defender of the Faith supreme Governour of the Church within these Our Dominions We hold it most agreeable to this Our Kingly Office and Our own Religious Zeale to conserve and maintain the Church committed to Our charge in the unity of true Religion and in the bond of peace and not to suffer unnecessary disputations altercations or questions to be raised which may nourish faction both in Church and Common-wealth We have therefore upon mature deliberation and with the advice of so many of Our Bishops as might conveniently be called together thought fit to make this Declaration following That the Articles of the Church of England which have beene allowed and authorized heretofore and which Our Clergie generally have subscribed unto do contain the true doctrine of the Church of England agreeable to Gods Word which We doe therefore ratifie and confirm requiring all Our loving Subjects to continue in the uniforme profession thereof and prohibiting the least difference from the said Articles which to that end We command to be new printed and this Our Declaration to be published therewith That We are supreme Governour of the Church of England and that if any difference arise about the externall policy concerning Injunctions Canons or other Constitutions thereto belonging the Clergie in their Convocation is to order and settle them having first obtained leave under Our broad Seal so to do and We approving their said Ordinances and Constitutions providing that none be made contrary to the Lawes and Customes of the Land That out of Our Princely care that the Church-men may doe the work which is proper unto them the Bishops and Clergie from time to time in Convocation upon their humble desire shall have licence under Our broad Seal to deliberate of and to do all such things as being made plaine by them and assented unto by Us shall concern the setled continuance of the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England now established from which We will not indure any varying or departing in the least degree That for the present though some differences have been ill raised yet We take comfort in this that all Clergie-men within Our Realm have alwayes most willingly subscribed to the Articles established which is an argument to Us that they all agree in the true usuall literall meaning of the said Articles and that even in those curious points in which the present differences lie men of all sorts take the Articles of the Church of England to be for them which is an argument again that none of them intend any desertion of the Articles established That therefore in these both curious and unhappy differences which have for so many hundred yeers in different times and places exercised the Church of Christ We will that all further curious search be laid aside and those disputes shut up in Gods promises as they be generally set forth to us in the holy Scriptures and the generall meaning of the Articles of the Church of England according to them And that no man hereafter shall either print or preach to draw the Article aside any way but shall submit to it in the plain and full meaning thereof and shall not put his own sense or Comment to be the meaning of the Article but shall take it in the literall and Grammaticall sense That if any publike Reader in either Our Universities or any Head or Master of a Colledge or any other person respectively in either of them shall affix any new sense to any Article or publikely read determine or hold any publike disputation or suffer any such to be held either way in either the Universities or Colledges respectively or if any Divine shall preach or print any thing either way other then is already established in Convocation with Our Royall assent they the offenders shal be liable to Our displeasure the Churches censure in Our Commission Ecclesiasticall as wel as any other and We will see there shal be due execution upon them ARTICLES OF RELIGION 1. Of faith in the holy Trinity THere is but one living and true God everlasting without body parts or passions of infinite power wisdom goodnesse the maker and preserver of all things both visiible and invisible And in unity of this Godhead there be three persons of one substance power and eternity the Father the Son the holy Ghost 2. Of the Word or Son of God which was made very man The Son which is the Word of the Father begotten from everlasting of the Father the very eternall God of one substance with the Father took mans nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin of her substance so that two whole and perfect natures that is to say the Godhead and manhood were joyned together in one person never to be divided whereof is one Christ very God and very man who truly suffered was crucified dead and buried to reconcile his Father to us and to be a sacrifice not onely for originall guilt but also for actuall sins of men 3. Of the going down of Christ into hell As Christ died for us and was buried so also is it to be beleeved that he went down into hell 4. Of the Resurrection of Christ Christ did truly rise again from death and took again his body with flesh bones and all things appertaining to the perfection of mans nature wherewith he ascended into heaven and there sitteth untill he return to judge all men at the last day 5. Of the holy Ghost The holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one substance Majesty and Glory with the Father and the Son very and eternall God 6. Of the sufficiencie of the holy Scriptures for salvation Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein nor may be proved thereby is not to be required of any man that it should be beleeved as an Article of the faith or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation In the name of the holy Scripture we do understand those Canonicall Books of the Old and New Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church Of the names and numbers of the Canonicall Books Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numeri Deuteronomium Josue Judges Ruth The first Book of Samuel The second Book of Samuel The first Book of Kings The second Book of Kings The first Book of Chronicles The second Book of Chronic.
