whatsoever_o to_o who_o the_o name_n of_o spirit_n be_v or_o may_v be_v give_v there_o be_v one_o particular_a and_o peculiar_a spirit_n who_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o a_o person_n of_o a_o true_a real_a and_o personal_a subsistence_n not_o a_o create_v but_o a_o uncreated_a person_n and_o be_v therefore_o the_o true_a and_o one_o eternal_a god_n that_o though_o he_o be_v god_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o the_o father_n nor_o the_o son_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n i_o believe_v that_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a spirit_n to_o be_v not_o only_o of_o all_o perfect_a and_o infallible_a holiness_n in_o himself_o but_o also_o to_o be_v the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o

consequent_o be_v holy_a and_o thus_o i_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n article_n ix_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n i_o believe_v that_o christ_n by_o the_o

shall_v be_v save_v and_o will_v successive_o and_o daily_o add_v unto_o the_o same_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o all-sufficient_a promise_n i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v have_v be_v hitherto_o and_o now_o be_v and_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v so_o long_o as_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n endure_v a_o church_n of_o christ_n one_o and_o the_o same_o this_o church_n i_o believe_v to_o be_v holy_a in_o general_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o author_n the_o end_n the_o institution_n and_o administration_n of_o it_o and_o in_o particular_a in_o the_o member_n who_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v real_o though_o but_o imperfect_o holy_a here_o and_o shall_v be_v perfect_o holy_a hereafter_o i_o look_v upon_o this_o church_n not_o like_a that_o of_o the_o jew_n limit_v to_o one_o people_n confine_v to_o one_o nation_n but_o by_o the_o appointment_n and_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o assist_a power_n to_o be_v spread_v over_o all_o nation_n to_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o place_n to_o be_v propagate_v to_o all_o age_n to_o contain_v in_o it_o all_o truth_n necessary_a to_o be_v know_v to_o require_v absolute_a obedience_n from_o all_o man_n to_o the_o command_v of_o christ_n and_o to_o furnish_v we_o with_o all_o grace_n necessary_a to_o make_v our_o person_n acceptable_a and_o our_o action_n well_o please_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god._n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n i_o believe_v that_o such_o person_n as_o be_v true_o sanctify_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n while_o they_o live_v among_o the_o crooked_a generation_n of_o man_n and_o struggle_v with_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o world_n have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o dwell_v with_o they_o and_o take_v up_o their_o habitation_n in_o they_o that_o they_o partake_v of_o the_o care_n and_o kindness_n of_o the_o bless_a angel_n who_o take_v delight_n to_o minister_v for_o their_o benefit_n that_o beside_o the_o external_a fellowship_n which_o they_o have_v in_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n with_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n they_o have_v a_o intimate_a union_n and_o conjunction_n with_o all_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n as_o the_o live_a member_n of_o christ_n nor_o be_v this_o union_n separate_v by_o the_o death_n of_o any_o one_o but_o as_o christ_n in_o who_o they_o live_v be_v the_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o they_o have_v fellowship_n with_o all_o the_o saint_n which_o from_o the_o death_n of_o abel_n have_v ever_o depart_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n and_o now_o enjoy_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o father_n and_o follow_v the_o lamb_n whithersoever_o he_o go_v and_o thus_o i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n the_o communion_n of_o saint_n article_n x._o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n i_o believe_v that_o whereas_o every_o sin_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n upon_o every_o transgression_n there_o remain_v a_o gild_n upon_o the_o transgressor_n and_o that_o gild_n bring_v a_o eternal_a punishment_n so_o that_o all_o man_n be_v conclude_v under_o sin_n they_o be_v all_o oblige_a to_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o eternal_a death_n yet_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v his_o son_n &_o his_o son_n to_o give_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o surety_n for_o this_o debt_n and_o to_o release_v we_o from_o these_o bond_n and_o because_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n he_o give_v his_o life_n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o lay_v it_o down_o as_o a_o ransom_n even_o his_o precious_a blood_n as_o a_o price_n by_o way_n of_o compensation_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o will_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o which_o propitiation_n god_n who_o be_v by_o our_o sin_n offend_v become_v reconcile_v and_o be_v so_o take_v off_o our_o obligation_n to_o eternal_a punishment_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o appoint_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n for_o the_o first_o remission_n and_o repentance_n for_o the_o constant_a forgiveness_n of_o all_o follow_a trespass_n and_o thus_o i_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n article_n xi_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n i_o believe_v that_o as_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v so_o it_o be_v also_o determine_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v rise_v from_o death_n that_o the_o soul_n separate_v from_o our_o body_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o live_v that_o the_o body_n dissolve_v into_o dust_n or_o scatter_v into_o ash_n shall_v be_v gather_v together_o again_o in_o themselves_o and_o reunite_v to_o their_o soul_n that_o the_o same_o flesh_n which_o live_v before_o shall_v be_v revive_v that_o the_o very_a same_o body_n which_o shall_v fall_v shall_v rise_v that_o this_o resurrection_n shall_v be_v universal_a no_o man_n except_v no_o flesh_n leave_v in_o the_o grave_a that_o all_o the_o just_a shall_v be_v raise_v to_o a_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o all_o the_o unjust_a to_o a_o resurrection_n of_o damnation_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v perform_v at_o the_o last_o day_n when_o the_o trump_n shall_v sound_v and_o thus_o i_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n article_n xii_o and_o the_o life_n everlasting_a i_o believe_v that_o the_o unjust_a after_o their_o resurrection_n and_o condemnation_n shall_v be_v torment_v for_o their_o sin_n in_o hell_n and_o shall_v be_v keep_v there_o in_o torment_n for_o ever_o so_o as_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n shall_v never_o cease_v to_o inflict_v they_o nor_o the_o person_n of_o the_o wicked_a cease_v to_o be_v and_o suffer_v they_o and_o that_o the_o just_a after_o their_o resurrection_n and_o absolution_n shall_v as_o the_o bless_a of_o the_o father_n obtain_v the_o inheritance_n and_o as_o the_o
