Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord
to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that
when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt
grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions
of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us
in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come
life everlasting. _Amen_.
2 _Corinthians_ xiii.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.
_Here endeth the Order of Evening Prayer throughout the Year_.
AT MORNING PRAYER
_Upon these Feasts_; Christmas-day, _the_ Epiphany, _Saint_
Matthias, Easter-day, Ascension-day, Whitsunday, _Saint_ John
Baptist, _Saint_ James, _Saint_ Bartholomew, _Saint_ Matthew,
_Saint_ Simon _and Saint_ Jude, _Saint_ Andrew, _and upon_ Trinity
Sunday, _shall be sung or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the
Apostles Creed, this Confession of our Christian Faith, commonly
called the Creed of Saint Athanasius, by the Minister and people
standing_.
QUICUNQUE VULT.
Whosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary that
he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled:
without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God in
Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance.
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and
another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible: and the
Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.
As also there are 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 they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are 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 are 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.
