WE believe in one God the father almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ the son of God, the only begotten son of the father, that is, of the substance of the Father, God of God, light of light, very God of very God, begotten not made, being of the same Essence and substance with the Father, by whom all things were made, which are in heaven, and which are in earth: Who for us men, and for our salvation came down, was incarnate and manned (was made man.) He ⟨image 6⟩suffered and rose again the third day, he ascended into Heaven, and shall come to judge the quick and the dead. And (we believe) in the holy Ghost. As for those that say, it was sometime when he was not, and before he was borne he was not: and which say, because he was made of things not being (of nothing) or of an other substance, that therefore the son of God is either created, or turned, or changed, them doeth the holy Catholic and Apostolic Church curse or excommunicate.
