§ The Creed of Saint Athanafius.

Upon Christmas-day, the Epiphany, Saint Matthias, Easter-day, Afcenfion-day, Whitsunday, Saint John Baptist, Saint James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Matthew, Saint Simon and Saint Jude, Saint Andrew, and upon Trinity-Sunday, shall be fung or faid at Morning Prayer, instead of the Apostles Creed, this Confeffion of our Christian Faith, commonly called, The Creed of Saint Athanafius, by the Minister and People, standing.

Quicunque vult.

Hosoever will be saved: before all things it is neceffary that he hold the Catholick Faith.

Paraphrafe on the

Whosoever hopes to enjoy the benefits of Redemption, it is absolutely necessary that he believe the Gofpel. The principal articles of Faith contained, in which are these following, viz. That there is none other

+ This Prayer of St. Chryfoftom, has been used in the service of the Greek Church above one thousand three hundred years: and the several petitions which have been offered up in separate Collects are fumm'd up in this.

• This Benedictory Prayer of St. Paul contains the ium and substance of Christianity, shewing that the Blessings of the Gospel, are derived from the Love of God; obtained thro' the Grace of our Lord Jefus

Athanafian Creed.

God but one, 1. Cor. viii. 4. That there is one Father of
all, Ephef. iv. one Lord Jesus Chrift, Ephef. iv 5. and
one Holy Spirit, Ephef. iv. 4. That the Father is God, 1.
Cor viii. 6. The Son is God, John i I and the Holy Ghost

Christ, and conveyed to us by the Fellowship of the
Holy Ghost.

§ This Creed was first published in the eighth Century. The condemnatory Expressions contained in it, relate only to those who when they clearly see the Truth, of the Doctrines contained in this Creed, perversely shut their Eyes against Conviction, and chufe darkness rather than light.

Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;

Neither confounding the Persons : nor dividing the Substance.

For 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 co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghoft.

The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost

uncreate.

The Father incomprehenfible, the Son incomprehensible: and the Holy Ghost incomprehenfible.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost

eternal.

And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.

As also there are not three incomprehenfibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

So likewife the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: 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 likewife the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the Holy Ghost Lord;
