EXPOSITION

OF

THE APOSTLES' CREED

By

THE REV. JAMES DODDS, D.D.

* * * * *

Though I am an old Doctor of Divinity, to this day I have not

Belief, and the Lord's Prayer; and these I understand not so
well as I should, though I study them daily, praying with my son
John and my daughter Magdalen.--LUTHER'S _Table-Talk_.
