Texts of the Confession
Manuscript:
Transcription attributed to Cornelius Burgess
Written in Cornelius Burges’s clear hand, the manuscript is entitled: “The Humble Advice of the Assembly of Divines now sitting at Westminster, by authority of Parliament. Concerning a Confession of Faith, which is here presented whole & entire.” Part of the Braye MSS volume at Westminster College in Cambridge, the Confession appears in folios 112r–143r and is undoubtedly one of the two original transcribed copies which the assembly delivered to Parliament, and most likely the one deposited with the House of Lords.
