4 WE AKNOWLEGE OUR SIN all To onfession Luke 3:79 John said crowds coming out be baptized by him, You brood vipers! Who warned you flee from coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin say yourselves, We have Abraham as our far. or I tell you that out se snes God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at root trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown in fire. orporate onfession Sin from John 1:58 & The Book ommon Prayer God is light; in him re in no darkness at all. If we claim have fellowship with him, yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live by truth. But if we walk in light, as he is in light, we have fellowship with one anor, and blood sus, his Son, purifies us from sin. If we claim be without sin, we deceive ourselves and truth is not in us. Most holy and merciful ar, we confess you and one anor, that we have sinned against you by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not fully loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not always had in us mind hrist. You alone know how ten we have grieved you by wasting your gifts, by wandering from your ways. orgive us, we pray you, most merciful ar; And free us from our sin. Renew in us grace and strength your Holy Spirit, for sake sus hrist your Son our Savior. Amen. AN WE ARE GIVEN A WOR O ASSURANE *Words Assurance from Luke 7:28, 1 Peter 2:9, and John 1:29 I tell you, among those born women re is no one greater than John; yet one who is least in kingdom God is greater than he.

5 In hrist we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that we may proclaim excellencies him who called us out darkness in his marvelous light. If you have confessed your sins in sus' name, you are forgiven and are a new creation! Behold, Lamb God, who takes away sin world! *onfess our aith Athanasian reed (A.. 500) Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold # catholic faith. Which faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neir confounding persons, nor dividing substance. or re is one Person ar, anor Son, and anor Holy Spirit. But godhead ar, Son, and Holy Spirit, is all one, glory equal, maesty coeternal. Such as ar is, such is Son, and such is Holy Spirit. The ar uncreated, Son uncreated, and Holy Spirit uncreated. The ar incomprehensible, Son incomprehensible, and Holy Spirit incomprehensible. The ar eternal, Son eternal, and Holy Spirit eternal. And yet y are not three eternals, one Eternal. As also re are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise ar is Almighty, Son Almighty, and Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet y are not three almighties, one Almighty. So ar is God, Son is God, and Holy Spirit is God. And yet y are not three gods, one God. So likewise ar is Lord, Son Lord, and Holy Spirit # catholic means universal

6 Lord. And yet not three lords, one Lord. or as we are compelled by hristian verity acknowledge each Person by Himself be both God and Lord, so we are also forbidden by # catholic religion say that re are three gods or three lords. The ar is made none, neir created, nor begotten. The Son is ar alone, not made, nor created, begotten. The Holy Spirit is ar, neir made, nor created, nor begotten, proceeding. So re is one ar, not three fars; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits. And in Trinity none is before or after anor; none is greater or less than anor, all three Persons are coeternal ger and coequal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, Unity in Trinity and Trinity in Unity is be worshipped. He refore that will be saved must think thus Trinity. urrmore, it is necessary everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly Incarnation our Lord sus hrist. or right faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord sus hrist, Son God, is God and man; God, substance ar, begotten before worlds; and man substance his mor, born in world; perfect God and perfect man, a rational soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal ar, as uching His godhead; and inferior ar, as uching His manhood; who, although He is God and man, yet he is not two, one hrist; one, not by conversion godhead in flesh by taking manhood in God; one alger; not by confusion substance, by unity person. or as rational soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one hrist; who suffered for our salvation, descended in hell, rose again third day from dead. He ascended in heaven, He sits at right hand ar, God Almighty, from whence He will come udge

7 quick and dead. At His coming all men will rise again with ir bodies and shall give account for ir own works. And y that have done good shall go in life everlasting; and y that have done evil in everlasting fire. This is # catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved. *Song Assurance Nothing But Blood 1. What can 2. or 3. Noth ing 4.
