THOUGHTS ON RELIGION

Art. I. I believe there is one God, the Being of all

beings in

Art. II. I believe, that whatsoever the most high God

would have me to believe or do, in order to his glory

and my happiness, he hath revealed to me in his holy

Scriptures

Art. III. I believe, that as there is one God, so this one

God is three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost 32

Art. IV. I believe, that I was conceived in sin, and

brought forth in iniquity; and that ever since I have

been continually conceiving mischief, and bringing

forth vanity

34

Art. v. I believe the Son of God became the Son of

man, that I, the son of man, might become the son

of God

.

Art. VI. I believe, that Christ lived to God, and died

for sin, that I might die to sin, and live with God 41

Art. VII. I believe, that Christ rose from the grave, that

I might rise from sin; and that he is ascended into

heaven, that I may come unto him

.

Art. VIII. I believe, that my person is only justified by

the merit of Christ imputed to me; and that my na-

ture is only sanctified by the Spirit of Christ im-

planted in me

Art. IX. I believe, God entered into a double covenant

with man, the covenant of works made with the first,

and the covenant of grace made in the second Adam 58
