Symbolum Athanasij.
The second Symbolum of Athanasius is longer, & setteth out more richly and plenteously the one Article, because of the Arians namely, that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God and our Lord. In whom we believe even with the same Faith, wherewith we believe in the ⟨image 93⟩Father, as the text sayeth in the first Symbol. I believe in God, &c. And in Jesus, &c. For if he were not very God then must he not with like Faith, like unto the Father be honoured. This disputeth and driveth S. Athanasius in his Symbol. And it is a very defence of the first Symbol.
THe secōd Symbolum of Athanasius is longer, & settethoute more rychely and plenteously the one Article, because of the Arriās namely, that Iesus Christe is the onely Sonne of God and oure Lorde. In whome we beleue euen with the same Fayth, wherewith we beleue in the ⟨image 93⟩Father, as the texte sayeth in the fyrst Symbole. I beleue in God, &c. And in Iesu, &c. For yf he were not very God then muste he not with lyke Faythe, lyke vnto the Father be honoured. This disputeth and dryueth S. Athanasius in his Symbole. And it is a very defence of the fyrst Symbole.
