Who although he be God and Man yet he is not two, but one Chrift;

One; not by converfion of the Godhead into fleth but by taking of the Manhood into God;

One altogether; not by confufion of Subftance: but by unity of Perfon.

For as the reafonable foul and fleth is one man: fo God and Man is one Chrift;

Who fuffered for our falvation: d-fcended into hell, rofe again the third day from the dead;

He afcended into heaven, he

fitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty: from whence he fhall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whofe coming all men fhall rife again with their bodies: and fhall give account for their own works.

And they that have done good, thall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil, into everlafting fire.

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

Glory be to the Father, &c.
As it was in the beginning, &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.
