In our Fathers days before any change in Religion was thought upon, Christen people lived together in perfect unity.¹ If account of belief had ben demanded, none was ashamed of the common Apostles Creed. Every one constantly confessed, I believe in God the Father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, and so forth. But sithens Luther brought a^a New Gospel into the world, we have seen great diversity among men, not only of Ceremonies, and Administration of the Sacraments, but also of the^b Public Confession of the Faith. For as sundry Rulers, Countries, and common Weals received that new Doctrine: so their Preachers and Ministers have set forth sundry Creeds, and Confessions of their Faith.
