                Article XVII: _Of Christ's Return to Judgment._

 The Seventeenth Article the adversaries receive without exception, in
 which we confess that at the consummation of the world Christ shall
 appear, and shall raise up all the dead, and shall give to the godly eternal
 life and eternal joys, but shall condemn the ungodly to be punished with
 the devil without end.
