And the other Books (as Heirome[1] saith) the Church doth read for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet it doth not apply them to establish any doctrine.  Such are these following:

 

The III Book of Esdras	The Book of Wisdom	The Story of Suzanna
The IV Book of Esdras	Jesus the Son of Sirach	Of Bel and the Dragon†
The Book of Tobias	Baruch the Prophet†	The Prayer of Manasses†
The Book of Judith	The Song of the Three Children†	The I Book of Maccabees
The rest of the Book of Esther†		The II Book of Maccabees

All the Books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we do receive and account them Canonical.

ARTICLES I‑V form a natural group treating of the Christian conception of God, the Trinity, and of the historical manifestation of the Son for our salvation.  Except for the differences between Eastern and Western Christendom over the double procession of the Holy Spirit, all the great Churches are agreed on these essential doctrines of the Faith.  The present Article deals with a question connected with the controversies of the Reformation, and which arose out of a renewed appreciation on the Protestant side of the unique authority of Scripture for Christian faith and practice, as against the beliefs and customs of ecclesiastical tradition.  The Article does not deny a place to devout opinion and sentiment, and suggestive ceremonial in which Christian thought and feeling have found expression down the centuries; but it does declare that such things are not necessary for salvation, and it admits no ground by which they can be put on a par with the teaching of Scripture, both Old and New Testaments.
