Again--

"I believe in Jesus Christ," &c.

"What does that mean?"

"I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from

eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is my Lord, who

has redeemed me, a lost and condemned human creature, has purchased and

won me from all sins, from death and from the power of the devil, not

with silver and gold, but with his own holy precious blood, and with his

innocent suffering and dying, that I may be his own, and I live in his

kingdom under him, and serve him in endless righteousness, innocence,

and blessedness, even as he is risen from the dead, and lives and reigns

forever. This is certainly true."

And again,

"I believe in the Holy Ghost."

"What does that mean?"

"I believe that not by my own reason or power can I believe on Jesus

Christ my Lord, or come to him; but the Holy Ghost has called me through

the gospel, enlightened me with his gifts, sanctified and kept me in the

right faith, as he calls all Christian people on earth, gathers,

enlightens, sanctifies them, and through Jesus keeps them in the right

and only faith, among which Christian people he daily richly forgives

all sins, to me and all believers, and at the last day will awaken me

and all the dead, and to me and all believers in Christ will give

eternal life. This is certainly true."
