Book of Common Prayer (page 869)

The Song of the Three Children,

The Story of Susanna,

Of Bel and the Dragon,

The Prayer of Manasses,

The First Book of Maccabees,

The Second Book of Maccabees.

All the Books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we
do receive, and account them Canonical.

VII. Of the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is not contrary to the New: for both in the Old and
New Testament everlasting life is offered to Mankind by Christ, who is
the only Mediator between God and Man, being both God and Man.
Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign that the old Fathers did
look only for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by
Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor
the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any
commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free
from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral.

VIII. Of the Creeds.

The Nicene 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.

The original Article given Royal assent in 1571 and reaffirmed in 1662,
was entitled, "Of the Three Creeds; and began as follows, "The Three
Creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasius's Creed, and that which is commonly
called the Apostles' Creed..."

IX. Of Original or Birth Sin.

Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam, (as the Pelagians do
vainly talk;) but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every
man, that naturally is engendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man
is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature
inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the
Spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserveth
God's wrath and damnation. And this infection of nature doth remain,
yea in them that are regenerated; whereby the lust of the flesh, called
in Greek, fro/nhma sarko/s, (which some do expound the wisdom, some
sensuality, some the affection, some the desire, of the flesh), is not
subject to the Law of God. And although there is no condemnation for
them that believe and are baptized; yet the Apostle doth confess, that
concupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin.

X. Of Free Will.

The condition of Man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn
and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and good works, to
faith, and calling upon God. Wherefore we have no power to do good
works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ
preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when
we have that good will.
