A TRUE CONFESSION OF THE FAITH, AND HUMBLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ALLEGIANCE, which we her Majesty’s subjects, falsely called Brownists, do hold towards God, and yield to her Majesty and all other that are over us in the Lord. Set down in articles or positions, for the better and more easy understanding of those that shall read it: And published for the clearing of ourselves from those unchristian slanders of heresy, schism, pride, obstinacy, disloyalty, sedition, etc. which by our adversaries are in all places given out against us.

We believe with our hearts and confess with our mouths.

I. That there is but¹ one God, one Christ, one Spirit, one church, one truth, one faith,² one rule of obedience to all Christians, in all places.
