Quicunque vult.

Hofoever will be faved:

So the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghoft is

W before all things it is ne- God;

ceffary that he hold the Catholick Faith.

Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled: without doubt he fhall perifh everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Nei her confounding the Perfons: nor dividing the Substance.

For there is one Perfon of the Father, another of the Son: and another of the Holy Ghoft.

But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghoft is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co eternal.

:

Such as the Father is, fuch is the Son and fuch is the Holy Ghoft. The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate and the Holy Ghoft

uncreate.

The Father incomprehenfible, the Son incomprehenfible: and the Holy Ghoit incomprehenfible.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal and the Holy Ghoft eternal;

And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.

As alfo there are not three incomprehenfibles, nor three uncreated but one uncreated, and one incomprehenfible.

So likewife the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: and the Holy Ghoft Almighty;

And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.

And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.

So likewife the Father is Lord, the Son Lord and the Holy Ghost Lord;

And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Chriftian verity to acknowledge every Perfon by himfelf to be God and Lord;

:

So are we forbidden by the. Catholick Religion to fay, There be three Gods, or three Lords.

The Father is made of none : neither created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father a. lone: not made, nor created, but begotten.

The Holy Ghoft is of the Father and of the Son: neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons one Holy Ghoft, not three Holy Ghofts.

And in this Trinity none is afore or after other none is greater or less than another;

But the whole three Perfons are co-eternal together and co-equal.

So that in all things, as is aforefaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be faved muft thus think of the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is neceffary

to

to everlasting falvation: that he alfo believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jefus Chrift.

For the right Faith is, that we believe and confefs: that our Lord Jefus Chrift, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God of the fubftance of the Father, begotten before the worlds and Man of the Subftance of his Mother, born in the world;

Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable foul, and human flesh fubfifting;

Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.

Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Chrift;

One; not by converfion of the Godhead into fiefh: but by taking of the Manhood into God; One altogether; not by con

fufion of Subftance: but by unity of Perfon.

For as the reasonable foul and flesh is one man: fo God and Man is one Chrift;

Who fuffered for our falvation: defcended into hell, rofe again the third day from the dead;

He afcended into heaven, he fitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty from whence he fhall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whofe coming all men fhall rife again with their bodies: and fhall give account for their own works.

And they that have done good, fhall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholick Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be faved.,

Glory be to the Father, Gr.
As it was in the beginning, &c.

Here followeth the LITANY, or General Supplication, to be fung or faid after Morning Prayer upon Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at other times, when it fall be commanded by the Ordinary.
