APPENDIX


The, following arrangement is from Professor Lumby's _History of the
Creeds_. It shows that the portions of the Apostolic Creed which do
not appear in the earlier forms are very few. Irenaeus omits the
conception by the Holy Ghost, while Tertullian inserts it. Neither Creed
contains the first part of the fifth article, and in both the ninth and
tenth are wanting. With these exceptions the substance of the Apostles'
Creed was in circulation as early as A.D. 180.
