Bunyan's version of what I believe is the Apostle's Creed

I Do believe in God;
And in his only Son;
Born of a Woman, yet begot
Before the World began.

I also do believe
That he was crucifi'd,
Was dead and buried ; and yet
Believe he never dy'd.

The Third day I believe,
He did rise from the dead;
Went up to Heav'n, and is of God
Of all things made the Head.

Also I do believe,
That he from thence shall come,
To judge the quick, the dead,and to
Give unto all just Doom.

Moreover I believe
In God the Holy Ghost;
And that there is an Holy Church,
An universal Host.

Also I do believe,
That sin shall be forgiven;
And that the dead shall rise; and that
The Saints shall dwell in Heaven.
