The Creede.

I beleeue in God the Father of all might,
Made heauen and earth, sent darkenes and light:
And in Iesus Christ, his sonne and our Lord,
Conceiued by the holy Ghost (as scriptures doe record:)
Of the virgine Mary this babe was borne,
To redeeme man that else had beene forlorne:
Suffred vnder Ponce Pilate, crucified and layd in graue,
Descended into hell (the elect soules to saue:)
Rose the third day, such hope I haue,
Was seene aliue here, ascended into heauen than,
Sits on Gods right hand a mediatour for man:
From thence shall he come, to iudge both quicke and dead,
Amyd the cloudes to shew his great Godhead:
I beleeue in the infinite holy Ghost,
The Catholike Church that honors God most:
The communion of Saintes, the forgiuenes of sinnes,
The resurrection of the body, where gladnes begins:
And in the life euerlasting I trust,
To rise at the last day with Iob out of dust.
