CHAP. XIII. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was Crucified, Dead and Buried; he descended into Hell.
Qu. 1. Why is there nothing said in the Creed, 1. Of Christ's overcoming the Temptations of the Devil and the World?g 2. Or of his fulfilling ⟨p. 102⟩the Law, his perfect Holiness, Obedience and Righteousness? 3. Nor of his Miracles?

- gMatt. 4.
A. 1. You must know that the Creed at first when Christ made it the Symbol of Christianity, had but the three Baptismal Articles;h to be Baptized into the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 2. And that the rest were added, for the Exposition of these three. 3. And that the Errors that rose up occasioned the additions: Some denied Christ's real Humanity, and some his Death, and said that it was another in his Shape that dyed: and this occasioned these Expository Articles. 4. But the Apostles and other Preachers expounded more to those whom they Catechized, than is put into the Creed; and more is implied in that which is expressed: And had any Heretics then denied Christ's perfect Righteousness, and Victory in Temptation, it's like it would have occasioned an Article for these. 5. But Christ would not have his Apostles put more into the Creed, than was needful to be a part of the Test of Christianity: And he that understandingly, consentingly and practically, believeth in God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, shall be saved. 6. And as to Christ's Miracles; yea, and his Holiness, they are contained in the true meaning of Believing in the Holy Ghost, as I shall after show.
