A Profession of Catholic Faith, extracted out of the Council of Trent, by P. Pius IV.

I, N. N., with a firm faith believe and profess all and every one of those things which are contained in that Creed, which the Holy Roman Church maketh use of, viz., I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible;

and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God; and born of the Father before all ages; God of God; Light of Light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, AND WAS MADE MAN. Was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the scriptures: he ascended into heaven sits at the right hand of the Father, and is to come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and life-giver, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who, together with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And (I believe) one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church I confess one baptism for the remission of sins: and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I most stedfastly admit and embrace apostolical and ecclesiastical traditions, and all other observances and constitu tions of the same Church.
