Question. Since then thou hast now spoken of God the Father the Creatour, and of his Son Jesus Christ the Saviour, and so hast ended two parts of the Christian confession : now I would hear thee speak of the third part, what thou believest of the holy Ghost.
Answer. I confess that the holy Ghost is the third person of the most holy Trinity, proceeding from the Father and the Son before all beginning, equal with them both, and of the very same substance, and together with them both to be honored and called upon.
