Athanasius his creed made for the defence of the faith Now there are two reasons why it is called the Apostles creed th' one is at the most but probable because the Apostles themselves made it every one adding his article and as it were casting in his shot th' other is certaine because it containes the summe and abridgment of all the Apostles doctrine Mnason What is the true and full importance of the word I beleeeve Apollos It imports and implies three thinges 1. the knowledge of a divine truth 2. an assent unto it 3. an affiance and trust in it Mnason What is propounded to our faith to beleeve in the first Article I beleeve in God the father Almighty maker of heaven and earth Apollos Two grand doctrines to wit first the doctrine of the Creation of the world by Gods omnipotencie and then the doctrine of divine providence or preservation of the same ever since it was created Which two differ onely thus that Creation was a short providence and Providence a long Creation Spring quarter Mnason What is the summe of the second Article and in Iesus Christ his onely Sonne our Lord Apollos In it 5 things are propounded to our faith to beleeve 1. that he is Iesus that is a Saviour 2 that hee is Christ that is anointed and appointed by God to be our priest prophet and king 3 that he is the Sonne of God to wit naturall and begotten 4 that he is his onely sonne 5 that he is our Lord to governe us as well as our Iesus to save us Mnason What containes the third article conceaved by the holy Ghost borne of the virgine Mary Apollos It containes that great mystery of Godlinesse that a Spirit was generative and a virgin fruitfull that is the admirable way of the incarnation of our Lord Iesus Christ of which Article this is the orthodoxe sence that the holy Ghost did by it's immediate vertue and divine power without any seminall commixtion prepare sanctifie and secundate the wombe of the virgine Mary so as at once and in an instant the whole humāe body of Christ was formed and then his reasonable soule was created and infused into his body Mnason How much is comprized in the fourth article hee suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried descended into hell Apollos The five degrees of his Humiliation each surpassing other Namely first his Passion hee suffered c. 2 his Crucifixion or manner of suffering which was the encrease of his passion was crucified 3 his death a degree beyond his crucifixion dead 4. his inhumation and enterment more then his death and buried 5 his descent into hell a degree beyond the grave hee went downe into hell unlesse you will make his descent into hell the first degree of his Exaltation rather then the last of his Humiliation Mnason What thinke you is the safest to hold in that vexed question of Christs descent into Hell Apollos I deeme it the safest way to hold the doctrin in generall and implicite termes that he went downe into hell the place of the damned as being the most ancient doctrine of the Catholique Church but not too boldly or peremptorily to define either touching the 1 subject or 2 manner or 3 end or 4 time of his descent Mnason What is expressed in the fifth Article hee rose againe the third day from the dead Apollos The first degree of his Exaltation to wit his resurrection from the dead together with the circumstance of time the third day upon which very point did depend all the credit both of his person doctrine and miracles and even of the christian religion it selfe which should bee dispersed to all the ends of the world Mnason What is tendered to our faith in the sixth Article hee ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God Apollos The second and third degrees of his Exaltation to wit first his Ascention that the fourth day after his resurrection upon mount Olive● he did visibly locally and corporally according to his humane nature and by the vertue of his owne Godhead ascend into the third and highest heaven Secondly his session at his fathers right hand by which is ment that hee was exalted farre above all Angells and men in his very humane nature and with his father is coeternall and coequall Mnason How expound you the seventh article from thence shall hee come to judge both the quicke and the dead Apollos It containes the fourth and highest degree of his Exaltation and the meaning of it is that though the decree and authoritie of judgement doe belong equally alike to all the three persons yet the externall visible act or execution of judgment shall wholly bee put into the hands
