And the Catholick Faith is this:

That we worship one God in Trinity, and Tri-ni-ty in Unity; Neither con-founding the Persons:

No'r di-viding the Substance.

For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: And another of the Ho-ly Ghost.

But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one:

The Glory equal, the Majes-ty co-e-ternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son:

And such is the Ho-ly Ghost.

The Father uncreate, the Son un-create:

And the Holy Ghost un-cre-ate.

The Father incomprehensible, the Son in-com-pre-hensible : And the Holy Ghost in-com-pre-hensible.

The Father eternal, the Son e-ternal:

And the Ho-ly Ghost e-ternal.

And yet they are not three e-ternals:

But one e-ternal.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three un-cre-ated:

But one uncreated, and one in-com-pre-hensible.

So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Al-mighty :
And the Ho-ly Ghost Al-mighty.

And yet they are not three Al-mighties :

But one Al-mighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God:

And the Ho-ly Ghost is God.

And yet they are not three Gods:

But one God.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord:

And the Ho-ly Ghost Lord.

And yet not three Lords:

But one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Christ-ian verity:

To acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;

So are we forbidden by the Catholick Re-ligion :

To say, There be three Gods, or three Lords.

The Father is made of none:

Neither cre-a-ted, nor be-gotten.

The Son is of the Father a-lone:

Not made, nor cre-a-ted, but be-gotten.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son:

Neither made, nor created, nor be-got-ten, but pro-ceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons:

One Holy Ghost, not three Ho-ly Ghosts.

And in this Trinity none is afore, or aft-er other :

None is greater, or less than an-other;

But the whole three Persons are co-e-ternal to-gether :
And co-equal.

So that in all things, as is-a-fore-said:

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 ever-lasting sal-vation :

That he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Je-sus Christ.

For the right Faith is, that we believe and con-fess:

That our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and

Man;

God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten be-fore the worlds:

And Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the world;
Perfect God, and per-fect Man:

Of a reasonable soul and hu-man flesh sub-sisting ;
Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead :

And inferior to the Father, as 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 in-to flesh :
But by taking of the Man-hood in-to God;

One altogether; not by con-fusion of Substance:
But by u-ni-ty of Person.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man :
So God and Man is one Christ;

Who suffered for our sal-vation:

Descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Al-mighty :

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 ac-count for their own works.

And they that have done good shall go into life ever-lasting : And they that have done evil into ev-er-last-ing fire.

This is the Catho-lick Faith:

Which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Ho-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ev-er shall be :
World with-out end.

A-men.

EVENING PRAYER.

MAGNIFICAT. St. Luke, i.

My soul doth magnath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Y magni-fy the Lord:

For he hath re-garded:

The lowli-ness of his hand-maiden.
For behold, from hence-forth:

All gene-rations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath magni-fied me :

And ho-ly is his Name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him :

Through-out all ge-ne-rations.

He hath shewed strength with his arm :

He hath scattered the proud in the imagi-na-tion of their

hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat:

And hath ex-alted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things:

And the rich he hath sent empty a-way.

He remembering his mercy hath holpen his ser-vant Israel : As he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Ho-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ev-er shall be:
World with-out end.

CANTATE DOMINO. Psalm xcviii.

SING unto the Lord a new song:

For he hath done marvel-lous things.

With his own right hand, and with his ho-ly arm :
Hath he gotten him-self the victory.

The Lord declared his sal-vation:

His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel:

And all the ends of the world have seen the sal-va-tion of our God.

Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands:
Sing, re-joice, and give thanks.

Praise the Lord up-on the harp :

Sing to the harp with a psalm of thanks-giving.
With trumpets also and shawms:

O shew yourselves joyful be-fore the Lord the King.
Let the sea make a noise, and all that there-in is:
The round world, and they that dwell there-in.

Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together be-fore the Lord:

For he cometh to judge the earth.

With righteousness shall he judge the world:

And the peo-ple with equity.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Ho-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ev-er shall be:

World with-out end.

A-men.

Ac-cord-ing to thy word.

For mine eyes have seen :

Thysal-vation,

Which thou hast pre-pared:

Before the face of all people;

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles:

And to be the glory of thy peo-ple Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Ho-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ev-er shall be :

DEUS MISEREATUR. Psalm lxvii.

GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us :

And shew us the light of his countenance, and be mer-ci-ful un-to-us:

earth:

That thy way may be known up-on
Thy saving health a-mong all nations.
Let the people praise thee, O God:
Yea, let all the peo-ple praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad :

For thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the

na-tions up-on earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God:

Yea, let all the peo-ple praise thee.

Then shall the earth bring forth her increase:

And God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.

God shall bless us :

And all the ends of the world shall fear him.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Ho-ly Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ev-er shall be:
World with-out end.
