81, N. n, with a firm faith believe
and profess all and every one of those
things which are contained in that
maketh use of, viz:
81. | believe in one God, the Father
Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only
begotten Son of God, and born of the
Father before all ages. God of God;
light of light; true God of true God;
begotten, not made; consubstantial to
the Father, by whom all things were
made. Who for US men, and for our
salvation, came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost
of the Virgin Mary, and was made
man. He was crucified also for US,
under Pontius Plate, suffered, and
was buried; and the third day he
rose again according to the Scriptures.
And he assembled into heaven, stitch
at the right hand of the Father. And
he is to come again with glory to
judge the living and the dead; of whose
kingdom there shall be no end. And
in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver
of life, who proceedeth from the
Father and the Son; who together
with the Father and the Son, is adored
and glorified, who spoke by the
prophets. And q believe in) One,
Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
| confess one baptism or the remission
of sins: and | look for the resurrection
Of the dead, and the life OF the world
to come. Amen.
"2. | most steadfastly admit, and
embrace apostolical and ecclesiastical
Traditions, and all other observances
and constitutions of the same Church.
"3. | also admit the holy Scrip
lures, according to that sense which
our holy Mother the Church has held,
and does hold, to whom it belongs to
Judge of the true and interpre-
tation of the Scriptures: neither will
| ever take and interpret them other
wise, than according to the unanimous
consent of the Fathers.
q. | also profess, that there are
truly and properly W. Sacraments
of the new law, instituted by Jesus
Christ our Lord, and necessary for the
salvation of mankind, though not all
for every one: to wit, Baptism, Con-

Order, canno be reiterated without

every n of the things which have
been defined and declared in the holy
council of Trent, concerning Original
sin and Justification"
sc. | profess, likewise, that il the
Mass there is offered to God a true,
proper, and propitiatory sacrifice for
the living and the dead. And that, in
the most holy sacrament of the Eu-
charist, there is truly, really, and sub
stantially, the Body and Blood to-
gether with the Soul and Divinity of
our Lord Jesus Christ: and that there
is made a conversion of the whole sub
stance of the bread into the body, and
of the whole substance of the wine
into the blood; which conversion the
Catholic Church calls Transubstantia-
ton. / also confess, that under either
kind alone, Christ is received whole
and entire, and a true sacrament"
81. | constantly hold that there is
a Purgatory, and that the souls there

relics are to be had in veneration."
"8. I most firmly assert, that the
Images of Christ, of the Mother of
God, ever Virgin, and also of the other
Saints, ought to be had and retained
and that due honor and generation is
to be given them"
SO. l also affirm, that the power of
Indulgences was left by Christ in the
Church, and that the S Of them is
