ARTICLES OF RELIGION.
I. Of Faith in the Holy Trinity.
THE HERE is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions; of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the Maker, and Preserver of all things both visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there be three Persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
THE
II. Of the Word or Son of God, which was made very Man.
HE Son, which is
the Word of the Father, begotten from everlasting of the Father, the very and eternal God, and of one substance with the Father, took Man's nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin, of her substance: so that two whole and perfect Natures, that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood, were joined together in one Person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God, and very Man; who truly suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, to reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for all actual sins of men.
III. Of the going down of Christ into Hell.
AS Christ died for us, and was buried, so also is it to be believed,
A that he went down into Hell.
IV. Of the Resurrection of Christ. HRIST did truly
C with flesh, bones, and all things appertaining to the perfection
of Man's nature; wherewith he ascended into Heaven, and there sitteth, until he return to judge all Men at the last day.
V. Of the Holy Ghost.
THE HE Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of
one substance, majesty, and glory, with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.
VI. Of the Sufficiency of the holy Scriptures for Salvation.
OLY Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so
H not nor may proved
is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the holy Scripture we do understand those canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church.
