God, and that the
same one God hath created heaven, and earth, and all things contained
under heaven.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the only Son of the eternal Father (as long
before it was determined before all beginnings), when the fulness of time
was come, did take of that blessed and pure Virgin both flesh and all the
nature of man, that He might declare to the world the secret and hid will
of His Father; which will had been laid up from before all ages and
generations; and that He might full finish in His human body the mystery
of our redemption; and might fasten our sins to the cross, and also that
handwriting which was made against us.

We believe that for our sakes He died, and was buried, descended into
hell, the third day by the power of His Godhead returned to life, and
rose again; and that the fortieth day after His resurrection, whiles His
disciples beheld and looked upon Him He ascended into heaven to fulfil
all things, and did place in majesty and glory the self-same body
wherewith He was born, wherein He lived on earth, wherein He was jested
at, wherein He had suffered most painful torments and cruel kind of
death, wherein He rose again, and wherein He ascended to the right hand
of the Father, "above all rule, above all power, all force, all dominion,
and above every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
the world to come:" and that there He now sitteth, and shall sit, till
all things be full perfected. And although the Majesty and Godhead of
Christ be everywhere abundantly dispersed, yet we believe that his body,
as St. Augustine saith, must needs be still in one place; and that Christ
hath given majesty unto His body, but yet hath not taken away from it the
nature of a body; and that we must not so affirm Christ to be God that we
deny Him to be man: and, as the Martyr Vigilius saith, that Christ hath
left us as touching His human nature, but hath not left us as touching
His Divine nature; and that the same Christ, though He be absent from us
concerning His manhood, yet is ever present with us concerning his
Godhead.

From that place also we believe that Christ shall come again to execute
that general judgment, as well of them whom He shall then find alive in
the body as of them that be already dead.

We believe that the Holy Ghost, who is the third person in the Holy
Trinity, is very God: not made, not created, not begotten, but proceeding
from both the Father and the Son, by a
