conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into
hell; the third day he rose again from the dead;he
ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of
God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the

the holy catholic Church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the
resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
AMEN.
