Article VIII—Of the Three Creeds.
The three Creeds,
Nicene Creed, Athanasius’s Creed, and that which is commonly called the
Apostles’ Creed, ought thoroughly to be received and believed: for they may be
proved by most certain warrants of Holy Scripture.
Archbishop Cranmer –
“That the Creed which is commonly and universally used to be said by the common
people, was made by the twelve apostles: and though the articles thereof are firmly
and steadfastly to be believed of every Christian man, as articles sufficiently
proved by Scripture; yet that they were gathered together by the twelve
apostles ... cannot be proved by Scripture, ne is it not necessary to be
believed for our salvation.” – Appendix of unwritten verities.
Prison Declaration –
“We believe and confess all the articles of faith and doctrine set forth in the
symbol of the apostles, which we commonly call the creed; and in the symbols of
the Council of Nice, kept An. Dom. 324; of Ephesus, kept An. Dom. 432; of
Chalcedon, kept An. Dom. 464; of Toletum, the first and fourth. Also in
the Symbols of Athanasius, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and of Damascus, which was
about the year of our Lord 376.”
