The Apology, the first Chapter, Division. 1.
The Apologie, the first Chapter, Diuision. 1.
We believe,1 that there is one certain Nature and Divine Power, which we call God: and that the same is divided into Three equal Persons, into the Father, into the Son, and into the Holy Ghost: and that they all be of one power, of one Majesty, of one Eternity, of one Godhead, and of one Substance. And although these Three Persons be so divided, that neither the Father is the Son, nor the Son is the Holy Ghost, or the Father: yet nevertheless we believe, that there is but one very God: And that the same one God hath created Heaven, and Earth, and all things contained under Heaven.
WEe beleeue,1 that there is one certaine Nature and Diuine Power, whiche wee calle God: and that the same is diuided into Three equal Persons, into the Father, into the Sonne, and into the Holy Ghoste: and that they al be of one power, of one Maiestie, of one Eternitie, of one Godhed, and of one Substance. And although these Three Persons be so diuided, that neither the Father is the Sonne, nor the Sonne is the Holy Ghost, or the Father: yet neuerthelesse wee beleeue, that there is but one very God: And that the smne one God hathe created Heauen, and Earthe, and al thinges conteined vnder Heauen.
