For that cause the ancient Church hath comprehended all the points of the Christian faith in certain Summaries, which are called commonly, the Nicene Creed, the Creed of Athanase, and that of the Apostles. This name of Symbol was given unto them, as well for that they did contain in sum the principal points and foundations of the Christian ⟨p. 3⟩doctrine, which are more at large expounded in the holy Scriptures: as also for that they are the true marks and tokens of a Christian man, in every one that believeth, and confesseth the doctrine contained in them. Wherefore it is requisite, that every one know at the least that same which is commonly called, the Creed of the Apostles, which is the most common and most short of them all, according to the which, the Church doth daily make public confession of her faith, as followeth.
