 viz. 
 
 I. I believe in /2r^ G^^^?/, whereof one is Son, 
 Father, and Mother metaphorically, according 
 to an Eternal Generation ^ the other metapho- 
 rically Mother and Father, according to a Tem- 
 poral Generation 5 and what isconfequent here- 
 to, that the common term, Mother-Father^ may- 
 be equally attributed to God and the B. Virgin, 
 
 ■ as if they were both Hermofhrodttes. 
 
 II. I believe in Jef us Chriji^ the only meta- 
 phorical Son of both, according to an Eternal 
 and Temporal Generation. 
 
 III. I believe that Jejus Chriji ^ as man was 
 oonceived and born of the Virgin Mary^ meta* 
 phorically as of Father and Mother, by a Pater- 
 nal and Maternal vertue. 
 
 IV. I believe that he fufFered, and was dead, 
 not truly and reatly^ btcaufe it was impoffible he 
 fhoulddie 
 
 V. I believe that hQW2ishHrted^ though not 
 truly and really dead. 
 
 VI. I believe bis Soul defcended into HeS 
 met tphorically, whereas it was never feparated 
 from the Body. 
 
 VII. I believe that he rofe from the dead, by 
 a Met iphor fuitable to that whereby I believed 
 him dead. 
 
 VIIT. I believe he afcended into Heaven, that 
 he fitteth at the right hand of God the Father, 
 and that he will come to judge fo/^e alive^ and 
 fome already dead. 
 
 IX^ I believe in the Holy Chojl^ who fpake 
 
 by 
 
The tiery Jejmts 
 
 y by the Prophets, though fome were fometimc 
 
 ^ miftaken and deceived. 
 
 X. I behcve the Church to be, as to the bet- 
 ter Ptfr^ of it, holy 5 and the Communion of 
 Saints. • 
 
 XI. I believe the Remiffion of fins,efFe(Sed by 
 a fuddain Collation of the Ghoji on the 
 wicked. 
 
 XII. I believe the Refurredion of the Body, as 
 to the better parf of it, and life Everlafting, not 
 without fome fear of the contrary.
