beleeue confesse and acknowledge thee to be of the father and of the sonne neither made nor created nor begotten but from God the father and from God the sonne proceeding equall with the father and

Gods euerlasting of one essence or being euer perdurable or during without measure not changeable almightie one substance and in one nature simple I Doo beleeue confesse and acknowledge ech one of your persons to be equall to the other in all maner of perfection and ech one person to be omnipotent or almightie and to be one beginning of all things and that togither you made created all creatures visibles inuisibles spirituals and corporals and that by almightie vertue from the beginning of time you three togither did create and that of nothing the creature angelike and the worldlie nature and then you made man common to the first two natures for man is of bodie corporall and of soule spirituall ALso I doo beleeue confesse and acknowledge that thou the father art one other and

when she had by the working of the holie Ghost answered these words of meeknesse Behold and see I am the handmaid of the Lord be it vnto me according to thy word THus thou blessed sonne of God diddest not forsake or leaue thy Godhead but didst take flesh or manhead of the blessed virgine vnto thy Godhead being still perfect God with the father in Godhead and perfect man also In which manhead thou wert lesse than the father but yet equall with the father touching thy deitie or Godhead as after thy most blessed natiuitie thou didst prooue in thy humanitie to bee perfect God FOR without anie teacher or schoolemaister thou hadst all perfect knowledge of sciences learning Thou changedst water into wine Thou gauest sight to the man borne blind Thou openlie saidst to the Iewes and Pharisies I which speake to you am the beginning Thou feddest manie thousands of people with a few loaues of bread and with a few fishes The wind and sea obeied at thy commandement Thou raisedst Lazarus from death vnto life which was foure daies dead and stinking in his graue In this ô God and in manie more excellent miracles thou didst shew thy selfe to be perfect God ANd also thou didst shew thy selfe to be perfect man for thou didst eate drinke and sleepe and so tookest increase of nature as man dooth Thou weptst thou fastedst thou sufferedst all the miseries of man sin onelie excepted IT also well pleased thee to fulfill to performe and to accomplish all the words and saiengs of the holie patriarchs and prophets which they had vttered and spoken of thee long time before thou tookest our humane nature vpon thee And so to fulfill the prophesies thou sufferedst that thine humane nature should be betraied and taken by the kissing of thine vnkind disciple Iudas THou also suffredst cruell persecutions of the Iewes after maine punishments they blasphemed thee and cried vpon Pilate to haue thee crucified and so vnder Ponce Pilate thou didst suffer to be crucified and vpon the crosse didst die touching thy humanitie and after wast thou taken downe buried and by the power and might of thy deitie descendedst into hell according to the scripture ANd I beleeue notwithstanding that thy sepulchre was made fast and sealed also watched and kept by certeine soldiers therevnto appointed that the third daie by thy Godhead or diuine power thou didst arise in thy humanitie And fortie daies after thou didst ascend into heauen in the sight of men of Galile and in faith vnto vs that be where thou doost remaine perfect GOD and perfect man sitting on the right hand of the father from whence thou shalt come and iudge both the liuing and the dead By the dead I vnderstand the bodie which is mortall and by the liuing I vnderstand the soule which is spirituall and immortall ANd also I acknowledge confesse and stedfastlie beleeue that I shall among all thy reasonable creatures arise from death to life and with them shall stand and behold thy diuine maiestie face to face thou sitting in the throne of thine eternall iudgement And thine elect and those whom thou hast shewed mercie vpon shall be seuered from the wicked reprobates as lambes from woolues the saued sort vpon thy right hand and the other vpon thy left where we shall all receiue our last and finall iudgement The which iudgment ô Lord I doo most humblie beseech thee may be vnto me not after my sinnes and wickednesse but according vnto thy great and vnspeakable mercies Grant this ô thou most holie and blessed father of heauen which art with the sonne and with the holie Ghost the worlds creator and haue mercie vpon
