A prayer of St Chrisostom.

Almighty God, who hast given vs grace a this time with one accord to make our Comon supplications vnto thee, and dost promise, that when two or three are gathered together in thy name, thou wilt grant their requests; fulfill now, o Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting vs in this world knowledge of thy

Epiphany, St Matthias, Easter-day, Ascen-

James, St Bartholomew, St Matthew, St
Simon and St Jude, St Andrew, and vpon
Trinity Sunday shall be sung or said a
mornging prayer, in stead of the Apostles
Creed, this confession of our Christian faith,
comonly called the Creed of St Athanasius,
by the Minister and people standing.

Whosoever will be saved before all things it is Quicunq, vult necessary that he hold the Catholick faith.

Which faith, except every one dog keep whole and vndefiled: without doubt hee shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick faith is this: that weg worship one god in Trinity, and Trinity in vnity;

Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.

ffor there is one person of the father, another of the son and another of the holy Ghost.

But the Godhead of the father, of the son, and of the holy Ghost is all one: the glory equal, the Majesty Coeternal

Such as the father is, such is the son, and such is the holy Ghost.

The father vncreate, the son vncreate and the holy Ghost vncreate.

The father incomprehensible, the son incomprehensible and the holy Ghost incomprehensible. The father eternal, the son eternal and the holy Ghost eternal.

And

And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles,
nor three vncreated but one vncreated, and one
incomprehensible.

So likewise the father is Almighty, the son Al-
mighty and the holy Ghost Almighty.
And yet they are not three Almighties but one
Almighty.

So the father is God, the son is God and the
holy Ghost is God.

And yet they are not three Gods but one God.
So likewise the father is Lord, the son Lord!
and the holy Ghost Lord;

And yet not three Lords but one Lord.
ffor like as we are compelled by the Christian
verity to acknowledge every person by himselfe
to be god and lord;

The 56th page in the MS. Book commences with the word “And”.
After "Lords", a blot, as if to obliterate a point.

So are we forbidden by the Catholick religion: to say, there be three Gods, or three lords.

The father is made of none neither created, nor begotten.

The son is of the father alone not made, nor created, but begotten.

The holy Ghost 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 Ghost, not three holy Ghosts.

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

But

But the whole three persons are coeternal together and coequall.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid the vnity in trinity, and the Trinity in Vnity is to be worshiped.

He therefore, that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity.

ffurthermore, it is necessary to everlasting

salvation that he also

believ rightly the

incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ffor the right faith is, that we believe and con
