23 Which is that Creed?
23 Which is that Creede?
I Believe in God the father almighty, maker of heaven & earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord: which was conceived by the holy ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead & buried, he descended into hell, the third day he rose again from the dead, he ascended into heaven, & sitteth at the right hand of God the father almighty, from thence shall he come to judge the quick & the dead. I believe in the holy ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
