OF THE FATHER

What beleeuest thou, when thou saiest, I beleeue in God the Father almightie, maker of heauen and earth?

I beleeue the euerlasting father of our Lord Iesus Christ who hath made of nothing heauen & earth, with all that are in them, who like-wise vpholdeth anda gouerneth the same by his eternal Counsel and prouidence;b to bee my God & my Father for Christes sake: and therefore I doe so trust in him, and so relie on him, that I make no doubt, but he will prouide all thingsc necessarie both for my soule and bodie. And further whatsoeuer euils he sendeth on mee in this troublesome life, hee willd turne them to my safety, seeing both he is able to doe it, as beeinge God almightie; and willing to doe it, as beeingf a bountifull father.g
