That Christ our Saviour, whom God by his Prophets had promised to send into the world, is come in the flesh, and hath accomplished the work of our Redemption; that he was conceived of the holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, and dyed upon the cross; that body and soul thus separated, his body was laid in the grave, and remained there under the power of death, and his Soul went into the place appointed for the souls of the righteous, namely, Paradise the place of the blessed, that the third day body and soul being joined together again, he rose from the dead, and after ascended into Heaven, where he sitteth at the right hand of his Father, until such time as from thence he shall come unto the last Judgement.
