† 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 Bleffings 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 Ghoft

Chrift, 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 fee the Truth, fof 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 incomprehenfible: 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;

And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;

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 the whole three persons are co-eternal together: and co-equal.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshiped.

He therefore that will be faved: must thus think of the Trinity. Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also believe rightly the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the right faith is, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God of the substance of the Father, begotten before the world : and Man of the substance of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul, and human flesh subsisting;

Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the Father, as touching his manhood.

G

Who, although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but

one Chrift.

One; not by converfion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of the Manhood into God.

One altogether; net by confufion of Substance: but by unity of person.

For as the reasonab'e foul and flesh is one man : So God and man is one Chrift:

Who fuffered for our salvation: defcended into Hell, rose again the third day from the dead.

He afcended into Heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty : from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies: and shall give account for their own works.

And they that have done good, shall go into life everlasting: and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholick Faith: which except a man believe faithfully he cannot be faved.

Glory be to the Father, &c.

Here followeth + the LITANY, or General Supplication, to be fung or faid after Morning Prayer upon Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at other times, when it shall be commanded by the Ordinary.
