A. True faith, although it be a firme assenting to all things reuealed in Gods wordo, yet properly it resteth on the promises of the Gospellp, the summe whereof is the Apostles Créed.
Q. What is that Creed?
A. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the ⟨p. 8⟩holy Ghost, borne of the Virgin Mary, who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: he descended into hell: the third day he arose again from the dead: he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: from thence shall he come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
