Article IOf Faith in the Holy Trinity
There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without
body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom, and
goodness; the maker and preserver of all things, both visible
and invisible. And in unity of this
Godhead there are three persons, of one substance, power, and
eternitythe Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost.
Article IIOf the Word, or Son of God, Who Was Made
Very Man
The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal
God, of one substance with the Father,
took man's nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin; 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 actual sins of
men.
Article IIIOf the Resurrection of Christ
Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again
his body, with 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.
Article IVOf the Holy Ghost
The 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.
