The BELIEF. 1. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth; 2. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried, descended to *Hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: from thence he shall come again to judge the quick and the dead. 3. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of ⟨p. 226⟩Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the Life Everlasting. The LORDS PRAYER. Our FATHER which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy Name: Thy Kingdom come: Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us: And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil: For thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory; for ever, Amen. The Ten COMMANDMENTS. 2God spake all these words; saying, I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the Land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 1. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven Image, or any likeness of any thing in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth: Thou shalt not vow down thy self to them, nor serve them: For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the Fathers upon the Children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my Commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain. 4.
