Thanks be to thee, O Lord, for this thy glorious Gospel.
_Then shall be sung or said this Creed following, the people still
reverently standing_.
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, And of all things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten
of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very
God of Very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with
the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men, and for
our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy
Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also
for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the
third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended
into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he
shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead:
Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of life, Who
proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the
Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one
Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection
of the dead, And the life of the world to come. Amen.

the Bishop, other notices may be read_.
_If there be a Sermon it followeth here_.
_When the Presbyter giveth learning of the Holy Communion he may,
at his discretion, use the first or the second of the Exhortations
appended to this Liturgy_.
_The third Exhortation appended to this Liturgy may be used at the
discretion of the Presbyter before the Offertory, the people
standing_.
_Then the Presbyter, or Deacon, shall say_,
Let us present our offerings to the Lord with reverence and godly
fear.
_Then the Presbyter shall begin the Offertory, saying one or more
of these sentences following, as he thinketh most convenient_.
