Confession of Faith.

O Almighty, and Eternall Lord God; I poore, vnwor∣thy, and wretched sinner, and bold to renew that couenant of Faith, which in my Baptisme, I made vn∣to thee. I beleeue, and confesse, that all those things, which thy most beloued Sonne Christ Iesus did, suffered, and taught, while he was conuersant in the Flesh, here vpon the Earth, are most most true, and certaine. I professe, that I beleeue, all the Articles of the Apostles Creed, and the Holy Gospell of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ, which is preached through all the World. To this Faith, I binde my selfe, and pur∣pose (Gods grace assisting mee) neuer to depart from it, and ac∣knowledge, that without belee∣uing thus, I cannot be saued. I am heartily glad (O Heauenly Fa∣ther) euen in my soule, and giue

thee all possible thankes, that into this Faith I was Baptized: and doe most humbly pray thee O Lord, that this Faith may not faile me, during this life, nor at the houre of death. And if I shall at any time hereafter, either by the temptation of the Deuill, im∣perfection of my sences, paine of any disease, weakenesse, or any other meanes, speake any thing, in any other manner, then shall bee agreable to this Faith, I re∣nounce all such wordes, as none of mine, and desire thee O Lord, to forgiue them, and pray all those, which shall heare them (if any such shall be) to account them, as none of mine. This I protest, thy Grace aiding mee. To thee, bee all Honour, and Praise, from this time forth, for euermore Amen.
