Consecrated to his Service For through the Work of our Redemption he becomes our Lord both by the right of Conquest and of Purchase and by making us the Sons of God and providing heavenly Mansions for us he acquires a further Right to us which Right considering the Covenant we all make at our Baptism to serve him is at last compleated because we have bound our selves there under a voluntary Obligation to serve him And thus I believe in Iesus Christ his only Son our Lord. Article III. Who was Conceived by the Holy Ghost Born of the Uirgin Mary I Believe that the only begotten Son of God begotten by the Father before all Worlds very God of very God was Conceived and Born and so made Man taking to himself the humane Nature consisting of a Soul and Body joining it with the Divine Nature in the Unity of his Person I believe that the Word was in this manner made Flesh that he was really and truly Conceived in the Womb of a Woman but not Conceived as the Sons of Men are not by Carnal Copulation not by the common way of humane Propagation but by the singular powerful invisible immediate Operation of the Holy Ghost whereby a Virgin was beyond the Law of Nature able to Conceive and that which was Conceived in her was originally and compleatly sanctifyed Born of the Uirgin Mary I believe that there was a certain Woman known by the Name of Mary espoused unto Ioseph of Nazareth which before and after her Espousal was a pure and unspotted Virgin and continuing in the same Virginity did by the immediate Operation of the Holy Ghost conceive within her Womb the only begotten Son of God and after the natural time of other Women brought him forth as her First-born Son continuing still a most pure and immaculate Virgin whereby the Saviour of the World was born of a Woman under the Law without the least spot of Original Corruption that he might deliver us from the Guilt of Sin born of that Virgin which was of the House and Lineage of David that he might fit upon his Throne and rule for evermore And thus I believe that Iesus Christ was Conceived by the Holy Ghost and Born of the Uirgin Mory Article IV. Suffered under Pontius Pilate was Crucified Dead and Buried I Believe that the only begotten Son of God begotten of the Father and of the same Divine Nature with the Father did for the Redemption of Mankind really and truly suffer not in his Divinity for that could not suffer but in his Humanity which in the days of his Humiliation was subject unto our Infirmities That as he is a perfect Redeemer of the Whole Man so he was a compleat Sufferer in the whole in his Body by such grievous Infirmities as arise internally from humane Frailties and by such Pains as are inflicted by external Injuries in his Soul by fearful Apprehensions by unknown Sorrows by Anguish unexpressible Under Pontius Pilate I believe that the eternal Son of God did suffer for the sins of Men after the fifteenth Year of Tiberius the Roman Emperour and before his Death in the time of Pontius Pilate who was Tiberius's Deputy Governour of Iudea who to please the Iews did condemn him whom he had pronounced innocent and delivered him according to the Custom of that Empire and in order to the fulfilling the Prophecies To dye a painful and shameful Death upon the Cross. ●● of such as do dye and being he dyed in the similitude of a Sinner his Soul went to the place where the Souls of Men are kept who dye for their sins and so did wholly undergo the Law of Death But because there was no sin in him and he had fully satisfied for the sins of others which he took upon him therefore as God suffered not his Holy One to see Corruption so he left not his Soul in Hell and thereby gave sufficient security to all those who belong to Christ that they should never come under the Power of Satan nor suffer in the Flames prepared for the Devil and his Angels He rose again I believe that the Eternal Son of God who was Crucified and dyed for our sins did not long continue in the State of Death but by his infinite power did revive and raise himself by re-uniting the same Soul which was separated to the same Body which was buried and so rose the same Man And this he did the third day from his death so that dying on Fryday the sixth day of the Week the day of the Preparation of the Sabbath and resting in the Grave on the Sabbath day on the Morning of the first day of the Week he returned to life again and thereby did consecrate the first day of the Week to be religiously kept holy until his coming again And thus I believe that Iesus Christ descended into Hell and rose again the third day from the Dead Article VI. He ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty I Believe that the only begotten and eternal Son of GOD after he rose from the Dead did with the same Soul and Body with which he rose by a true and local Translation convey himself from the Earth on which he lived through all the Regions of the Air through all the Celestial Orbs until he came into the Heaven of Heavens the most glorious presence of the Majesty of God. And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty I believe that Iesus Christ ascending into the highest Heavens after all the Troubles and Sufferings he endured here for our Redemption did there rest in everlasting Happiness He who upon earth had not where to lay his Head did take up a perpetual Habitation there and sit down upon the Throne as a Judge and as a King according to his Office of Mediator unto the end of the World which Right Hand of God the Father Almighty signifies his Omnipotent Power whereby he is able to do all things without Contradiction And thus I believe in Iesus Christ who ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty Article VII From thence he shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead I Believe that the only begotten and eternal Son of God in that humane Nature in which he dyed and rose again and ascended into Heaven shall certainly come from the same Heaven into which he ascended and at his coming shall gather together all those which shall be then alive and all which ever lived and shall be before that day dead When causing all to stand before his Judgment Seat he shall judge them according to their Works done in the Flesh and passing the Sentence of Condemnation upon all the Reprobates he shall deliver them to be tormented with the Devil and his Angels and pronouncing the Sentence of Absolution upon all the Elect he shall translate them into his Glorious Kingdom of which there shall be no end And thus
