IN
THE
NAME
OF
THE
FATHER
,
AND
OF
THE
SONNE
,
AND
OF
THE
HOLY
GHOST
.
WE
belieue
one
God
Almightie
and
Infinite
,
three
in
persons
,
the
Father
,
Sonne
and
Holy
Ghost
,
the
Father
vnbegotten
,
the
Sonne
begotten
of
the
Father
before
the
World
,
consubstantial
with
the
Father
:
the
Holy
Ghost
proceeding
from
the
Father
by
the
Sonne
,
hauing
the
same
essence
with
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
:
we
call
these
three
persons
in
one
essence
the
Holy
Trinity
,
euer
to
be
blessed
,
glorified
and
to
be
worshipped
of
euery
creature
.
We
belieue
the
Holy
Scripture
to
be
giuen
by
God
,
to
haue
no
other
Author
but
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
we
ought
vndoubtedly
to
belieue
:
for
it
is
written
,
We
haue
a
more
sure
word
of
Prophecy
,
to
the
which
yee
doe
well
to
take
heede
as
to
a
light
shining
in
a
darke
place
.
Besides
,
we
beliue
the
authority
thereof
to
be
aboue
the
authority
of
the
Church
.
It
is
a
farre
different
thing
for
the
Holy
Ghost
to
speake
and
the
tongue
of
man
,
for
the
tongue
of
man
may
through
ignorance
erre
,
deceyue
,
and
be
deceyued
:
but
the
Word
of
God
neither
deceyueth
,
nor
is
deceyued
,
nor
can
erre
,
but
is
alwayes
infallible
and
sure
.
We
belieue
that
the
best
and
greatest
God
hath
predestinated
his
Elect
vnto
glorie
before
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
without
any
respect
vnto
their
workes
,
and
that
there
was
no
other
impulsiue
cause
to
this
election
,
but
onely
the
good
will
and
mercy
of
God
.
In
like
manner
before
the
world
was
made
,
he
hath
reiected
whom
he
would
:
of
which
act
of
reprobation
,
if
you
consider
the
absolute
dealing
of
God
his
will
is
the
cause
:
but
if
you
looke
vpon
Gods
orderly
proceeding
,
his
iustice
is
the
cause
,
for
God
is
mercifull
and
Iust
.
We
belieue
that
one
God
in
Trinity
,
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
Holy
Ghost
,
to
be
the
Creator
of
all
things
visible
and
inuisible
:
Inuisible
things
we
call
the
Angels
,
visible
things
the
Heauens
and
all
things
vnder
them
.
And
because
the
Creator
is
good
by
nature
,
he
hath
created
all
things
good
,
and
cannot
doe
any
euil
:
and
if
there
be
any
euill
,
it
proceds
from
the
Deuill
and
man
:
for
it
ought
to
bee
a
certaine
rule
to
vs
,
that
God
is
not
the
Author
of
euill
,
neither
can
sinne
by
any
iust
reason
be
imputed
to
him
.
We
belieue
that
all
things
are
gouerned
by
Gods
Prouidence
,
which
we
ought
rather
to
adore
then
search
into
,
sith
it
is
beyond
our
capacity
,
neither
can
we
truly
vnderstand
the
reason
of
it
from
the
things
themselues
;
in
which
matter
we
suppose
it
better
to
embrace
silence
in
humility
,
then
to
speake
many
things
which
doe
not
edify
.
We
belieue
that
the
first
man
created
by
God
,
fell
in
Paradise
,
because
neglecting
the
Commandement
of
God
,
he
yelded
to
the
deceitfull
counsell
of
the
Serpent
:
from
thence
sprung
vp
originall
Sinne
to
his
posterity
,
so
that
no
man
is
borne
according
to
the
flesh
,
who
doeth
not
beare
this
burthen
,
and
feele
the
fruits
of
it
in
his
life
.
We
belieue
that
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
hath
made
himselfe
of
no
accompt
,
that
is
,
hath
assumed
mans
nature
into
his
owne
Subsistence
:
that
he
was
conceaued
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
he
was
made
man
in
the
Wombe
of
Mary
alwayes
a
Virgin
,
was
borne
and
suffred
death
,
was
buryed
and
glorified
by
his
resurrection
,
that
he
brought
saluation
and
glory
to
all
beleeuers
,
whom
we
looke
for
to
come
to
iudge
both
quicke
and
dead
.
We
belieue
,
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
fitteth
on
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
,
and
there
maketh
intercession
for
vs
,
executing
alone
the
office
of
a
true
and
lawfull
Priest
and
Mediator
:
and
from
thence
he
hath
a
care
of
his
people
,
and
gouerneth
his
Church
,
adorning
and
enriching
her
with
many
blessings
.
We
belieue
that
without
Faith
,
no
man
can
be
saued
;
but
that
we
call
Faith
,
which
in
Christ
Iesus
iustifieth
,
which
the
life
and
death
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
procured
,
the
Gospell
published
,
and
without
which
no
man
can
please
God
.
We
belieue
that
the
Church
(
which
is
called
Catholicke
)
containeth
all
true
belieuers
in
Christ
,
which
being
departed
,
are
in
their
Country
in
heauen
,
or
liuing
on
earth
,
are
yet
trauayling
in
the
way
:
the
Head
of
which
Church
,
(
because
a
mortal
man
by
no
meanes
can
be
)
Iesus
Christ
is
the
head
alone
,
and
he
holdeth
the
sterne
of
the
Gouernment
of
the
Church
in
his
owne
head
:
but
because
on
earth
there
be
particular
Visible
Churches
,
and
in
order
euery
one
of
them
hath
one
chiefe
,
which
chiefe
is
not
properly
to
be
called
a
head
of
that
particular
Church
,
but
improperly
,
because
he
is
the
principall
member
thereof
.
We
belieue
that
the
Members
of
the
Catholicke
Church
be
the
Saints
,
chosen
vnto
eternall
life
,
from
the
number
and
fellowshippe
of
whom
,
Hypocrites
are
excluded
,
though
in
particular
visible
Churches
Tares
may
be
found
amongst
the
wheate
.
We
belieue
that
the
Church
on
earth
is
sanctified
and
instructed
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
for
he
is
the
true
comforter
,
whom
Christ
sendeth
from
the
Father
,
to
teach
the
truth
,
and
to
expell
darkenes
from
the
vnderstanding
of
the
faithfull
.
For
it
is
very
certaine
that
the
Church
on
earth
may
erre
,
taking
falshood
for
truth
,
from
which
errour
the
light
and
doctrine
of
the
holy
Spirit
alone
freeth
vs
,
not
of
mortall
man
,
although
by
Mediation
of
the
labours
of
the
Churches
Ministers
this
may
be
done
.
We
belieue
that
a
man
is
iustified
by
Faith
,
and
not
by
workes
;
but
when
we
say
,
by
Faith
,
we
vnderstand
the
correlatiue
or
obiect
of
faith
,
which
is
the
righteousnes
of
Christ
,
which
Faith
apprehends
and
applyeth
vnto
vs
for
our
Saluation
.
This
may
very
well
be
,
and
yet
without
any
preiudice
to
good
workes
:
for
truth
it selfe
teacheth
vs
,
that
workes
must
not
be
neglected
,
that
they
be
necessary
meanes
,
and
testimonies
of
our
faith
,
for
confirmation
of
our
calling
;
but
for
workes
to
be
sufficient
for
our
saluation
,
and
to
make
a
man
so
to
appeare
before
the
Tribunall
of
Christ
,
that
of
condignity
or
merit
they
conferre
saluation
,
humane
fraylety
witnesseth
to
be
false
;
but
the
righteousnes
of
Christ
being
applyed
to
the
penitent
,
doth
onely
iustifie
and
saue
the
faithfull
.
We
belieue
that
free
will
is
dead
in
the
vnregenerate
,
because
they
can
doe
no
good
thing
,
and
whatsoeuer
they
doe
is
sinne
;
but
in
the
regenerate
by
the
grace
of
the
holy
Spirit
the
will
is
excited
&
in
deed
worketh
but
not
without
the
assistance
of
grace
;
to
effect
that
therefore
which
is
good
,
grace
goeth
before
the
will
,
which
will
in
the
regenerate
is
wounded
,
as
he
by
the
theeues
that
came
from
Hierusalem
,
so
that
of
himselfe
without
the
helpe
of
grace
,
he
hath
no
power
to
doe
any
thing
.
We
belieue
that
there
be
Euangelicall
Sacraments
in
the
Church
,
which
the
Lord
hath
instituted
in
the
Gospell
,
and
they
bee
two
:
wee
haue
no
larger
number
of
Sacraments
,
because
the
Ordayner
thereof
deliuered
no
more
.
Furthermore
wee
belieue
that
they
consist
of
the
Word
and
the
Element
,
that
they
be
seales
of
the
promises
of
God
,
and
we
doubt
not
but
doe
conferre
grace
.
But
that
the
Sacrament
be
entire
and
whole
,
it
is
requisite
that
an
earthly
substance
&
an
externall
action
doe
concurre
with
the
vse
of
that
element
ordained
by
Christ
our
Lord
,
and
ioyned
with
a
true
faith
,
because
the
defect
of
faith
doth
preiudice
the
integritie
of
the
Sacraments
.
We
belieue
that
Baptisme
is
a
Sacrament
instituted
by
the
Lord
,
which
vnlesse
a
man
hath
receaued
,
he
hath
not
communion
with
Christ
,
from
whose
death
,
buriall
and
glorious
Resurrection
,
the
whole
vertue
and
efficacy
of
Baptisme
,
doth
proceed
;
therefore
in
the
same
forme
wherein
our
Lord
hath
commanded
in
the
Gospel
,
we
are
certaine
,
that
to
those
who
bee
Baptized
both
Originall
and
Actuall
sinnes
are
pardoned
:
so
that
whosoeuer
haue
beene
washed
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
are
regenerate
,
cleansed
and
iustified
.
But
concerning
the
repetition
of
it
,
we
haue
no
command
to
be
rebaptized
,
therefore
we
must
absteine
from
this
inconuenience
.
We
belieue
that
the
other
Sacrament
was
ordained
of
the
Lord
,
which
we
call
the
Eucharist
.
For
in
the
Night
wherein
hee
was
betrayed
,
taking
bread
and
blessing
it
,
he
said
to
his
Apostles
,
Take
yee
,
eat
,
this
is
my
body
:
and
when
he
had
taken
the
Cuppe
,
hee
gaue
thankes
and
said
,
Drinke
ye
all
of
this
,
this
is
my
blood
which
was
shed
for
many
:
this
doe
in
remembrance
of
me
.
And
Paul
addeth
,
for
as
often
as
ye
shall
eat
of
this
bread
,
and
drinke
of
this
Cuppe
,
yee
doe
shew
the
Lords
death
:
this
is
the
pure
and
lawfull
institution
of
this
wonderfull
Sacrament
,
in
administration
whereof
we
confesse
and
professe
a
true
and
reall
presence
of
Christ
our
Lord
,
but
yet
such
a
one
,
as
faith
offereth
to
vs
,
not
such
as
deuised
transubstantiation
teacheth
.
For
we
belieue
,
the
faithfull
doe
eate
the
body
of
Christ
in
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
not
by
breaking
it
with
the
teeth
of
the
body
,
but
by
perceiuing
it
with
the
sence
and
feeling
of
the
Soule
,
sith
the
body
of
Christ
is
not
that
which
is
Visible
in
the
Sacrament
,
but
that
which
Faith
spiritually
apprehendeth
,
and
offereth
to
vs
:
from
whence
it
is
true
that
if
we
belieue
,
we
doe
eat
and
partake
,
if
we
doe
not
belieue
,
we
are
destitute
af
all
the
fruit
of
it
.
We
belieue
consequently
,
that
to
drinke
the
Cuppe
in
the
Sacrament
,
is
to
be
partaker
of
the
true
blood
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
in
the
same
manner
as
we
affirmed
of
the
body
:
for
as
the
Author
of
it
commanded
concerning
his
body
,
so
he
did
concerning
his
blood
:
which
commandement
ought
neither
to
be
dismembred
nor
maymed
,
according
to
the
fancy
of
mans
arbitrement
:
yea
rather
the
institution
ought
to
be
kept
as
it
was
deliuered
to
vs
:
when
therefore
we
haue
bene
partakers
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
worthily
,
and
haue
communicated
entirely
,
we
acknowledge
our selues
to
be
reconciled
,
vnited
to
our
Head
of
the
same
body
,
with
certaine
hope
to
be
coheires
in
the
Kingdome
to
come
.
Wee
belieue
that
the
soules
of
the
dead
are
either
in
blessednesse
,
or
in
damnation
,
according
as
euery
one
hath
done
:
for
assoon
as
they
remoue
out
of
the
body
they
passe
either
to
Christ
or
into
hell
:
for
as
a
man
is
found
at
his
death
,
so
he
is
iudged
,
and
after
this
life
there
is
neither
power
nor
opportunity
to
repent
:
in
this
life
there
is
a
time
of
Grace
,
they
therefore
who
be
iustified
here
shall
suffer
no
punishment
hereafter
:
but
they
who
being
not
iustified
,
doe
dye
are
appoynted
for
euerlasting
punishments
.
By
which
it
is
euident
that
the
fiction
of
Purgatory
is
not
to
be
admitted
but
in
the
truth
it
is
determined
,
that
euery
one
ought
to
repent
in
this
life
,
and
to
obtaine
remission
of
his
sinnes
by
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
if
he
will
be
saued
.
And
let
this
be
the
end
.
This
compendious
and
briefe
Confession
of
vs
we
coniecture
wil
be
a
contradiction
to
them
,
who
are
pleased
to
slander
maliciously
accuse
vs
and
vniustly
persecute
vs
:
But
wee
trust
in
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
hope
that
he
will
not
relinquish
the
cause
of
his
faithfull
ones
,
nor
let
the
rod
of
wickednes
lye
vpon
the
let
of
the
righteeous
.

Credimus

interpellare

Credimus
Ecclesiam

Fideles
in

continere
vniuersaliter
,
qui
vel
defuncti
in

sunt

vel

cuius
Ecclesiae
Caput

quia

ipse
Dominus
noster
Iesus
Christus
solus
caput
est
,
ipséque
clauum

Caput

hoc
,
quia

Credimus
membra
Ecclesiae
Catholicae
esse
Sanctos
ad

electos
à
quorum
consortio
excludi
hypocritas
,
quamuis
in

mistae
cum
tritico

Credimus
Spiritu
sancto
sanctificari
&
doceri
Ecclesiam
in
via
,
ipse
enim
est
verus
Paracletus
,
quem
mittit
Christus
à
Patre
,
vt
doceat
veritatem
,
tenebrasque
excutiat
à
mentibus
fidelium
.
Certum
enim
est
quod
Ecclesia
in
via
errare
potest
,
falsum
pro
vero
eligendo
,
à
quo
errore
solius
Spiritus
sancti
lumen
&
doctrina
nos
liberat
,
non
mortalis
hominis
,
quamuis
mediante
opera
ministrantium
Ecclesiae
hoc
possit
fieri
.
Credimus
hominem
iustificari
perfidem
,
non
ex
operibus
.
Cum
autem
dicimus
per
fidem
,
intelligimus
fidei
correlatiuum
,
quod
est
Iustitia
Christi
,
quam
fides
apprehendit
,
nobisque
applicat
ad
salutem
,
hoc
autem
optime
,
sinéque
operum
praeiudicio
stare
cognoscimus
,
nam
&
opera
non
esse
negligenda
,
esseque
media
necessaria
&
fidei
nostrae
testimonia
,
ad
vocationis
nostrae
confirmationem
,
veritas
ipsa
nos
docet
.
Ipsa
vero
per
se
esse
sufficientia
hominem
saluare
,
in
Tribunalique
Christi
comparere
posse
,
vt
excondigno
salutem
retribuant
,
hoc
esse
falsum
testatur
humana
fragilitas
,
at
Christi
Iustitia
applicata
resipiscentibus
,
sola
iustificat
atque
saluat
Fidelem
.
Credimus
liberum
arbitrium
in
non
renatis
esse
mortuum
,
quia
nil
boni
possunt
facere
,
&
quidquid
faciunt
esse
peccatum
,
in
renatis
vero
esse
per
gratiam
Spiritus
sancti
arbitrium
excitatum
,
&
operatur
quidem
,
sed
non
sine
gratiae
auxilio
.
Ergo
vt
homo
faciat
bonum
,
praeuenit
gratia
arbitrium
,
quod
sine
gratia
inuenitur
esse
vulneratum
,
vt
à
latronibus
ille
qui
descendebat
ab
Hierusalem
,
ita
vt
nihil
ex
se
vel
possit
,
vel
faciat
.
Credimus
Euangelica
Sacramenta
esse
in
Ecclesia
quae
Dominus
instituit
in
Euangelio
,
&
ipsa
esse
duo
,
ampliorem
numerum
Sacramentorum
non
habemus
,
quia
institutor
non
plura
tradidit
.
Porrò
constare
verbo
&
elemento
,
esséque
signacula
promissionum
Dei
,
&
conferre
gratiam
non
dubitamus
,
vt
autem
Sacramentum
sit
integrum
,
opus
esse
vt
concurrat
res
terrena
,
&
actio
externa
,
cum
vsu
rei
terrenae
à
Christo
Domino
instituto
,
atque
cum
vera
side
coniuncto
,
quia
fidei
defectus
praeiudicat
integritati
Sacramenti
.
Credimus
Baptismum
esse
Sacramentum
à
Domino
institutum
,
quem
nisi
quis
susceperit
communionem
non
habet
cum
Christo
,
cuius
ex
morte
sepultura
&
gloriosa
resurrectione
promanat
tota
virtus
&
efficacia
baptismi
,
ideo
ea
forma
qua
Dominus
praecepit
in
Euangelio
Baptizatis
,
certi
sumus
quod
remittantur
peccata
tum
originalia
tum
actualia
,
ita
vt
quiqui
abluti
fuerint
in
nomine
Patris
&
Filis
&
Spiritus
sancti
regenerati
,
mundati
,
atque
iustificati
sint
.
De
iteratione
autem
non
habemus
mandatum
,
vt
it
eretur
baptismus
,
ideo
abstinendum
esse
ab
hoc
inconuenienti
.
Credimus
alterum
Sacramentum
à
Domino
institutum
esse
illud
quod
vocamus
Encharistiam
.
Nocte

quotiescunque

in

At
illam

Credimus

fideles
Corpus
Christi
manducare
in
Coena
Domini
,
non

terendo
,
sed
animae

percipiendo
,
cum
Corpus
