in paradise , to my guardian angel and to all the angels and archangels in heaven : I firmly believe all that God has revealed , all that Jesus Christ and the apostles have taught , and all that our faith , the holy Catholic , Apostolic and Roman Church sets forth , in the Communion of which I wish
to live and die . I submit , with all my heart , to the holy will of God , to the time and cause of ray death ; and I unite the sacrifice of my life , as Jesus Christ voluntarily did his , to satisfy
the justice of his Father , for my sins , and those of all men . I beseech him to suffer me to die like him in one faith , in the mystery of the redemption , a firm believer in his merits , a sincere penitent for my sins , and that the last

heresy of the Phantomists to do here ? What possible connexion has it with the argument , to be told in the midst of exhortations to have the same mind as was in Jesus , that he was in corporeal structure , physically and properly a man ? What possible relation
