4th Day Confession of Faith

Here's Lancelot Andrews' Confession of Faith for the 4th day:

I believe in the Father's lovingkindness;
in the Almighty's saving power;
in the Creator's providence for guarding, ruling, perfecting the universe;

in Jesus, for salvation;
in Christ, for the anointing of His Holy Spirit;
in the only begotten Son, for adoption;
in the Lord, for His care as our Master;
in His conception and birth, for the cleansing of our unclean conception and birth;
in His sufferings endured that we, whose due they were, might not suffer;
in His cross, for the curse of the law removed;
in His death, for the sting of death taken away;
in His burial, for endless corruption in the tomb ended;
in His descent, whither we ought, that we might not go;
in His resurrection, as the first fruits of them that sleep;
in His ascension, to prepare a place for us;
in His sitting, to appear and intercede for us;
in His return, to take unto Him His own;
in His judgment, to render to every man according to his deeds;


in the Holy Ghost, for power from on high,
transforming unto sanctity
from without and invisibly
yet effectually and evidently;
in the Church, a body mystical
of those called out of the whole world
into a commonwealth of faith and holiness;
in the communion of saints, members of this body,
a partaking with one another of holy things,
for assurance of the remission of sins,
for hope of resurrection and translation to life everlasting.
