THE SONNE.
With Father, coeternall Lord,
Coequall, consubstantiall Word,

His Wisedome, Glory, grauen Feature,
Thou Maker, made (for Vs) a Creature,
Took'st humane Flesh and Seruants Forme,
Man-kinde to ransome and re-forme:

One, vnconfounded, Man and God;
Not Godhead into Flesh conuerting:

And both together Somewhat more;
One Christ, our only Aduocate

Like vs in all without, within:

Borne, circumciz'd, baptiz'd, contemn'd,
Tempted, tormented, mockt, condemn'd,
Crosse-fixed, dead, buried, descended;
Arose againe, and then ascended
To his bright Throne of Maiesty,
At the right hand of God on high:
From whence Hee shall returne afresh,
Iudge to his Iudge, and to all Flesh.
