So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons:
one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is greater,
or less than another;
But the whole three Persons are 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 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 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, 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 into flesh: but by taking of
the Manhood into God;
One altogether, not by confusion of Substance: but by unity of
Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is
one Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation: 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 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.
