And in his only Son;
Born of a Woman, yet

as to his Godhead.

Before the World begun.
I also do believe
That he was crucifi'd,
Was dead and buried; and yet

never dy'd.

The Third day I believe
He did rise from the dead;
Went up to Heav'n, and is of God
Of all things made the Head.
Also I do believe,
That he from thence shall come,
To judge the quick, the dead, and to
Give unto all just Doom.
Moreover I believe
In God the Holy Ghost;
And that there is an Holy Church,
An universal Host.
Also I do believe,
That sin shall be forgiven;
And that the dead shall rise; and that
The Saints shall dwell in Heaven.
