It is evident that this is a version by a different hand into a 

 closely allied dialect. 



Creed in Tacana. 



I believe in the Father God, of all 

 things in heaven and on earth the 

 maker ; I believe in the Lord Jesus 

 Christ, His only Son ; who was con- 

 ceived by the grace of the Holy 

 Spirit, and was born of a virgin ; 

 he suffered under the power of 

 Pilate ; he was crucified ; he died ; 

 he went down to limbo; from among 

 the dead he arose on the third day; 

 he went up to heaven ; there he is 

 seated on the right hand of the 

 Father almighty; whence he shall 

 come to judge the living and the 

 dead ; I believe in the Holy Spirit, 

 the holy Catholic church, the com- 

 munion of all the saints, the pardon 

 of sins, and that our bodies shall rise 

 again, and that life shall not end.
