Moreover, Saint Cyprian in his 1exposition of the Apostles Creed, saith: He said not in the holy church, nor in the remission of sins, nor in the resurrection of the body. For if he had added the preposition, In, then had the force of those clauses been all one with the force of that that went before. For in those words wherein our belief touching the Godhead is set down we say, in God the Father, In Jesus Christ his Son, & in the holy ghost: but in the rest where the speech is not of the Godhead, but touching the creatures or mysteries, the preposition In is not added, that we may say In the holy Church, but that the holy Church is to be believed not as we believe in God, but as a congregation gathered together to God, and that the forgiveness of sins is to be believed, not that we ought to believe in the forgiveness of sins: and that the resurrection of the flesh is to ⟨p. 79⟩be believed, not that we ought to believe in the resurrection of the flesh. So then by this syllable, In, the Creator is discerned from the Creatures, and that that is Gods from that that is mans. This saith Cyprian.
Moreouer, Sainte Cyprian in his 1exposition of the Apostles Créede, saith: He sayd not in the holy church, nor in the remission of sinnes, nor in the resurrection of the body. For if he had added the preposition, In, then had the force of those clauses beene all one with the force of that that went before. For in those words wherein oure beliefe touching the Godhead is set downe we say, in God the Father, In Iesus Christ his Son, & in the holy ghost: but in the rest wher the speach is not of the Godhead, but touching the creatures or mysteries, the preposition In is not added, that we may say In the holy Churche, but that the holy Church is to be beleued not as we beleue in God, but as a congregation gathered together to God, and that the forgiunesse of sinnes is to be beleeued, not that we ought to beleeue in the forgiunesse of sinnes: and that the resurrection of the flesh is to ⟨p. 79⟩be beleeued, not that we ought to beleeue in the resurrection of the fleshe. So then by this sillable, In, the Creator is discerned from the Creatures, and that that is Gods frō that that is mans. This saith Cyprian.
