        Article III: Of the Son of God.  
         
        Also they teach that the Word, that is, the Son of God, did 
        assume the human nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin 
        Mary, so that there are two natures, the divine and the human, 
        inseparably enjoined in one Person, one Christ, true God and 
        true man, who was born of the Virgin Mary, truly suffered, was 
        crucified, dead, and buried, that He might reconcile the 
        Father unto us, and be a sacrifice, not only for original 
        guilt, but also for all actual sins of men  
         
        He also descended into hell, and truly rose again the third 
        day; afterward He ascended into heaven that He might sit on 
        the right hand of the Father, and forever reign and have 
        dominion over all creatures, and sanctify them that believe in 
        Him, by sending the Holy Ghost into their hearts, to rule, 
        comfort, and quicken them, and to defend them against the 
        devil and the power of sin.  
         
        The same Christ shall openly come again to judge the quick and 
        the dead, etc., according to the Apostles' Creed.
