As also there be not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty : and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet are not there three Almighties: but one Almighty. : So the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet are they not three Gods; but one God. : So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords: but one Lord. For like as we be compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we forbidden by the Catholic religion : to say, there be three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons : one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. 9 And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other none is greater, nor less than other. But the whole three persons be co-eternal together and co-equal. : So that in all things, as is aforesaid the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity. Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also believe rightly in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesu Christ. : For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the world; : Perfect God, and perfect Man of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting; : Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead and inferior to the Father, touching his Manhood. Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ; One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh : but by taking of the Manhood into God; One Altogether; not by confusion of Substance: but by Unity of Per son. For as the reasonable soul and flesh "is but one man so God and Man is but one Christ. Who suffered for our salvation descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead. 7 He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, they are not [1552] are they not [1549] ⚫ the Son God and the Holy Ghost God. [1549] 10 as it is [1549] " is one man : so God and man is one Christ. [1552. 1549] God Almighty from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting: and they that have done evil into everlasting fire. This is the Catholic Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved. : 'Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen. O God the Son, Redeemer of the world have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Son, Redeemer of the world: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
