The only begotten eternal
_Son of God_, 3.
Unigenitus æternus
_Dei Filius_, 3.
being promised to
_our first Parents in Paradise,_
at the last being conceived
by the _Holy Ghost_,
promissus
_Protoplastis in Paradiso_,
tandem conceptus
per _Sanctum Spiritum_
in the most Holy Womb
of the _Virgin Mary_, 1.
of the royal house of _David_
and clad with humane flesh,
in sanctissimo utero
_Virginis Mariæ_, 1.
de domo regiâ _Davidis_,
& indutus humanâ carne,
came into the World
at _Bethlehem of Judæa_,
in the extream poverty
of a _Stable_, 2.
prodiit in mundum
_Bethlehemæ Judæâ_,
in summâ paupertate
_Stabuli_, 2.
in the fullness of time,
_in the year of the world_ 3970,
but pure from all sin,
impleto tempore,
_Anno Mundi_ 3970,
sed mundus ab omni peccato
and the name of _Jesus_
was given him,
which signifieth a _Saviour_.
& nomen _Jesu_
impositum fuit ei,
quod significat _Salvatorem_.
When he was sprinkled
with _holy Baptism_, 4.
(the _Sacrament_
of the _new Covenant_)
by _John_ his Forerunner, 5.
Hic, cum imbueretur
_sacro Baptismo_, 4.
(_Sacramento_
_novi Fœderis_)
à _Johanne_ præcursore suo, 5.
in _Jordan_,
the most sacred _Mystery_
of the divine _Trinity_,
appear’d
by the _Father’s_ voice, 6.
in _Jordane_
apparuit
sacratissimum _Mysterium_
Divinæ _Trinitatis_,
_Patris_ voce, 6.
(whereby he testified
that this was his _Son_)
and the _Holy Ghost_
in the shape of a _Dove_, 7.
coming down from Heaven.
(quâ testabatur
hunc esse _Filium_ suum)
& _Spiritu sancto_
in specie _Columbæ_, 7.
delabente cœlitus.
From that time,
being the 30th year of his Age,
unto the fourth year,
he declared who he was,
Ab eo tempore,
tricesimo anno ætatis suæ,
usque an annum quartum,
declaravit quis esset,
his words and works
manifesting his Divinity,
being neither owned,
nor entertained by the _Jews_,
because of his voluntary poverty.
verbis & operibus
præ se ferentibus Divinitatem,
nec agnitus,
nec acceptus a _Judæis_,
ob voluntariam paupertatem.
He was at last taken by
these (when he had first
instituted the _Mystical Supper_, 8.
_of his Body and Blood_
Captus tandem ab
his (quum prius
instituisset _Cœnam Mysticam_, 8.
_Corporis_ & _Sanguinis sui_,
for a Seal
of the _new Covenant_ and
the remembrance of himself)
in Sigillum
_novi Fœderis_, &
sui recordationem)
carried to the _Judgment-seat_
_of Pilate_,
Governour under _Cæsar_,
accused and condemned
as an innocent _Lamb_;
raptus ad _Tribunal_
_Pilati_,
Præfecti _Cæsarei_,
accusatus & damnatus est
_Agnus_ innocentissimus;
and being fastned upon a _Cross_, 9.
_he dyed_, being
sacrificed upon the Altar
for the sins of the World.
actusque in _Crucem_, 9.
_mortem subiit_,
immolatus in arâ
pro peccatis mundi.
But when he had revived
by his Divine Power,
he rose again the third day
out of the _Grave_, 10.
Sed quum revixisset
Divinâ suâ Virtute,
resurrexit tertia die
è _Sepulchro_, 10.
and forty days after
being taken up
from _Mount Olivet_, 11.
into _Heaven_, 12.
& post dies XL.
sublatus
de _Monte Oliveti_, 11.
in _Cœlum_, 12.
and returning thither
whence he came,
he vanished as it were,
while the _Apostles_, 13.
gazed upon him,
& eo rediens
unde venerat,
quasi evanuit,
_Apostolis_, 13.
aspectantibus,
to whom he sent
his _Holy Spirit_, 14.
from _Heaven_, the tenth day
after his _Ascension_,
quibus misit
_Spiritum Sanctum_, 14.
de _Cœlo_, decima die
post _Ascensum_,
and them,
(being filled with his power)
into the World
to preach of him;
ipsos vero,
(hac virtute impletos)
in Mundum
prædicaturos;
being henceforth to come again
to the _last Judgment_,
sitting in the mean time
at the _right hand_
_of the Father_,
and interceding for us.
olim rediturus
ad _Judicium extremum_,
interea sedens
ad _dextram_
_Patris_,
& intercedens pro nobis.
From this _Christ_
we are called _Christians_,
and are saved in him alone.
Ab hoc _Christo_
dicimur _Christiani_,
inque eo solo salvamur.
