“He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also
believe rightly the incarnation of our Lord Jesus 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

sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty. From whence
He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. At whose coming all

Pius IV” was issued in the form of a bull in December, 1564. “All bishops,
ecclesiastics, and teachers in the Romish church, as well as all converts
from Protestantism, publicly profess assent to it.” It follows:
