Therefore I shall rehearse to you the Articles of our Faith, that you may know whether you do believe as a Christian man should, or no. | Here the minister shall re hearse the Articles of the Faith, saying thus; Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth ? And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord ? And that he was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; that he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; that he went down into hell, and also did rise again the third day; that he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; and from thence shall come again at the end of the world, to judge the quick and the dead? And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church ; Et si infirmus laicus vel simpli. citer literatus fuerit, tunc potest sacerdos articulos fidei in generali ab eo inquirere sub hac forma; Charissime frater, credis Patrem et Filium et Spiritum Sanctum esse tres personas, et unum Deum, et ipsam benedictam atque indivisibilem Trinitatem creasse omnia creata, visibilia et invisibilia.

Sarisb. fol. 89. : bonorum gratiæ, quæ fiunt in ecclesia, et omnes qui communicant cum justis hic in gratia communicaturos cum eis in gloria.

This ancient absolution or reconciliation of a penitent near death is not only found in the old formularies of the English church, where it was used long before the preceding indicative form was introduced, but in the sacramentary of Gelasius, A. D. 494; and for many centuries was commonly used in the churches of the west. g Man. Sarisb. fol. 90, 91. h Ibid. fol. 91. |
