: and in Greek, πιςέυω αὐτω : and that this singularity of the ecclesiastic use of the word hath raised many disputes about the right object of the Christian faith.

But by “believing in,” as it is in the creed, is meant, not trust in the person: but confession and acknowledgment of the doctrine. For not only Christians, but all manner of men do so believe in God, as to hold all for truth they hear him say, whether they understand it or not; which is all the faith and trust can possibly be had in any person whatsoever: but they do not all believe the doctrine of the creed.
