1. There is one True God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent, with the holy Spirit, and 'tis falsely denied that the Father is not another, and the Son another, because Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God. 2. Man is liable to the Wrath and Judgment of God, and the Dead shall rise, the Just to everlasting happiness, and the Wicked to everlasting torments. 3. God sent his Son Jesus Christ into the world, who was made Man, and died for our sins, and rose again for our Justification. 4. If we believe in the Son of God, we shall obtain Life by his Name. 5. There is Salvation in no other, not in the blessed Virgin, not in Peter, Paul, or any other Saint or Name. There is no Righteousness in or by the Law, or by the Commandments and Inventions of men. 6. There is one Baptism in the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I have not set down the Creed of this Judicious Author, as if I thought it the best and most exact that can be formed, but because it is short, and expressed in the words of ⟨p. 63⟩Scripture, and an Evidence of his Judgment, that the Communion of Christians, and consequently the Peace of Churches, yea of Christendom, must be suspended, only on a few plain necessary things. And peradventure our Common Creed, with the Lord's Prayer, and Ten Commandments, as I have already intimated, might be Impositions sufficient for the Union of Christians and Churches.
