 Son, not  three  Sons;  one  Holy  Ghost,  not  three  Holy Ghosts.

And in  this  Trinity  there  is  nothing  before  or  after nothing greater  or  less;  but  the  whole  three  Persons  are coeternal together,  and  coequal.

So that  in  all  things,  as  is  aforesaid,  the  Unity  is  to  be worshipped  in  Trinity,  and  the  Trinity  in  Unity.

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.

Now the  right  faith  is,  that  we  believe  and  confess  that Our Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  is  both  God  and man.

He is  God  of  the  substance  of  His  Father,  begotten before the  world;  and  He  is  man  of  the  substance  of  His Mother, born  in  the  world:

Perfect God  and  perfect  man;  of  reasonable  soul  and human flesh  subsisting.

Equal to  the  Father  according  to  His  Godhead;  and less than  the  Father  according  to  His  manhood.

Who, although  He  be  both  God  and  man,  yet  He  is  not two but  one  Christ:

One, not  by  the  conversion  of  the  Godhead  into  flesh, but by  the  taking  of  the  manhood  unto  God:

One altogether,  not  by  confusion  of  substance,  but  by unity  of  person.

For as  the  reasonable  soul  and  the  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  at  the  right  hand of God  the  Father  almighty;  from  whence  He  shall  come to judge  the  living  and  the  dead.

At Whose  coming  all  men  shall  rise  again  with  their bodies, and  shall  give  an  account  of  their  own  works.
