Minifter. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days fhalt thou labour, and do all that thou haft to do; but the feventh day is the fabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou, and thy fon, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the ftranger that is within thy gates. For in fix days the Lord made heaven and earth, the fea, and all that in them is, and refted the feventh day: wherefore the Lord bleffed the feventh day, and hallowed it. People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep

I

Believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things vifible and invifible :

And in one Lord Jefus Chrift, the only begotten Son of God, Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made: Who for us men, and for our falvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghoft of the Virgin Mary, And was made Man, And was crucified alfo for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and afcended into heaven, And fitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he fhall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom fhall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghoft, The Lord and giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together, is worshipped and glorified, Who fpake by the prophets. And I believe one Catholick and Apoftolick Church. I acknowledge one Baptifm for the remiffion of fins,

I believe in God, &c. This Creed is defigned of Christ, whose death we are about to commemorates here as a publick profeflion of our Faith in the Gospel

And I look for the refurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
