A Father, because he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the everlasting word, whom before all worlds he hath begotten of himself, which word was made flesh, and therein also manifested to be his Son, in whom he hath adopted us to be his children, the inheritors of his kingdom, and therefore he is our Father: an Almighty God, because he hath of nothing created all things visible and invisible, both in heaven and in earth, even all creatures contained therein, and governeth them.
"And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord."
THE eternal word, perfect God with his Father, of equal power in all things, of the same substance, of like glory, by whom all things were made and have life, and without whom nothing liveth: he was made also perfect man, and so being very God, and very man in one person, is the only Saviour, Redeemer, and Ransomer of them which were lo•• in Adam our forefather. He is the only means of our deliverance, the hope of our health, the surety of our salvation.
"WHICH was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary."
