Letters concerning the Establishment of the Holy Synod (1723)

Eastern Patriarchs, tr. King, 1865

7. Article 7

We believe that the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, humbled himself—that is, he, in his own peculiar person, became incarnate, being conceived by the Holy Ghost in the womb of the ever-virgin Mary, and becoming a man, was born without giving pain or pangs of child-birth to his mother, according to the flesh, or destroying her virginity; that he suffered, was buried, and rose again in glory on the third day, according to the Scriptures; that he ascended into the heavens, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father, who also we expect will come to judge the quick and the dead.
