The Apostles Creede

IN God the Father I beleeue;
Who made all Creatures by his word;
And true beleefe I likewise haue
In Iesus Christ, his Sonne, our LORD:
Who by the Holy Ghost conceiu'd,
Was of the Uirgine Mary borne:
Who meekely Pilat's wrongs recei'ud,
And crucified was with scorne.

Who Di'de, and in the Graue hath laine:
Who did the lowest Pit descend:
Who on the third day rose againe,
And vp to Heauen did ascend.
Who at his Fathers right-hand there,
Now throaned sits; and thence shall come,
To take his seat of Iudgement here.
And giue both quicke, and dead their doome.

I in the Holy Ghost beleeue,
The holy Church-Catholike too,
(And that the Saints Communion haue,)
Undoubtedly beleeue I doe.
I well assured am likewise,
A pardon for my sinnes to gaine;
And that my Flesh from death shall rise,
And euerlasting life obtaine.
