Rh "M"

Whosoever will be saved : before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick Faith.

Which Faith, except every one do keepe whole and vndefiled : without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this : that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in vnity.

Neither confounding the persons : nor dividing the Substance.

For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son : and another of the holy Ghost.

But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the holy Ghost is all one : the glory equall, the Majesty coeternall.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son : and such is the holy Ghost.

The Father vncreate, the Son vncreate : and the holy Ghost vncreate.

The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible : and the holy Ghost incomprehensible.

The Father eternall, the Son eternall : and the holy Ghost eternall.

And yet they are not three eternals : but one eternall.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three vncreated, : but one vncreated, and one incomprehensible.

So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty : and the holy Ghost Almighty.
