before_o god_n and_o all_o you_o here_o present_a that_o every_o point_n and_o article_n of_o this_o my_o belief_n be_v true_a and_o necessary_a unto_o salvation_n for_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v 6._o heb._n 11._o 6._o please_v god_n or_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o i_o steadfast_o believe_v in_o my_o heart_n that_o this_o in_o very_a deed_n be_v the_o true_a ancient_a catholic_a and_o apostolic_a faith_n which_o all_o good_a christian_n ought_v to_o hold_v to_o the_o hazard_n both_o of_o live_v and_o life_n if_o cause_n require_v of_o this_o our_o belief_n there_o be_v 4._o

god_n of_o which_o faith_n i_o make_v protestation_n as_o follow_v i_o constant_o believe_v in_o heart_n that_o which_o i_o now_o outward_o confess_v with_o my_o mouth_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a almighty_a everlasting_a live_a just_a and_o merciful_a god_n of_o incomprehensible_a glory_n majesty_n and_o might_n invisible_a infinite_a and_o immortal_a and_o yet_o in_o this_o godhead_n be_v include_v three_o distinct_a person_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unite_v together_o in_o deity_n and_o substance_n inseparable_o of_o like_a equality_n in_o

incomprehensible_a and_o invisible_a god_n have_v reveil_v himself_o unto_o man_n many_o way_n 1._o miraculous_o by_o his_o work_n 2._o outward_o by_o his_o word_n and_o 3._o inward_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n first_o i_o will_v confess_v my_o belief_n touch_v the_o father_n then_o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o the_o son_n and_o final_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o that_o i_o prefer_v one_o person_n before_o another_o but_o because_o natural_o man_n do_v best_a apprehend_v and_o conceive_v this_o order_n namely_o that_o the_o father_n shall_v be_v set_v before_o the_o son_n and_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n together_o before_o he_o that_o proceed_v from_o they_o both_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o all_o the_o three_o person_n be_v but_o one_o god_n equal_a and_o coeternall_a first_o therefore_o i_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n who_o by_o his_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n and_o infinite_a power_n have_v mighty_o make_v i_o

man_n to_o do_v he_o service_n and_o that_o in_o most_o wonderful_a and_o plentiful_a manner_n yea_o they_o be_v all_o create_v before_o man_n be_v make_v to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n at_o his_o

lord_n and_o ruler_n over_o they_o and_o they_o all_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o be_v serviceable_a unto_o he_o as_o to_o their_o king_n only_o he_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v obedient_a and_o show_v himself_o thankful_a unto_o his_o god_n for_o these_o his_o blessing_n in_o perform_v which_o duty_n i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n have_v too_o often_o fail_v god_n grant_v that_o i_o may_v
