An Exposition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith (650-799 AD) - maybe earlier see below
"An Exposition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith against the Arian Heresy''
[Swainson] The first of the four Formulae of Faith contained in this Quesnel collection (the four are numbered XXXVII, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XL), is "An Exposition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith against the Arian Heresy''. Some manuscripts entitle it simply "Expositio Fidei Catholicae": others simply "De Fide Catholica". This is found not only in the Quesnel collection (Maassen, p. 394), but also in the collections i) of the MS. of Saint Blaise, which Prof. Maassen describes, p. 504: and ii) of the manuscript of Diessen, p. 624. Of the former, one manuscript is of the sixth century. Of course, therefore, the Creed is at least as old as the sixth century.
(Swainson, The Nicene and Apostles' Creeds: Their Literary History, 1875, p. 254-255)
An Exposition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith against the Arian Heresy. We confess the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in a perfect Trinity, so that there shall be both a fulness of Divinity and a Unity of power. For he who separates the Godhead of the Trinity, speaks of Three Gods. The Father is God, the Son God, the Holy Ghost God, and the three are one (unum) in Christ Jesus. There are therefore three Persons, but one Power. Diversity makes more than one, but unity of power excludes quantity of number, because unity is not a number. Therefore there is one God, one Faith, one Baptism. If any one has not this Faith he cannot be called a Catholic, because he does not hold the Catholic Faith. He is a liar, profane, and rebellious against the truths.
(Appendix ad opera S. Leonis Magni. CAPITULUM XXXVII.; Migne Latina, PL 56.582)
o Latin: Expositio fidei catholicae atque apostolicae contra haeresim Arianam. Nos Patrem, et Filium, et Spiritum sanctum confitemur, ita in Trinitate perfecta, ut et plenitudo sit Divinitatis, et unitas potestatis. Nam tres Deos dicit qui Divinitatem separat Trinitatis. Pater Deus, Filius Deus, Spiritus sanctus Deus, et tres unum sunt in Christo Iesu. Tres itaque personae, sed una potestas. Ergo diversitas plures facit; unitas vero potestatis (0582B) excludit numeri quantitatem: quia unitas numerus non est. Itaque unus Deus, una Fides, unum Baptisma. Si quis vero hanc fidem non habet, catholicus non potest dici, quia catholicam non tenet fidem; alienus est, profanus est, et adversus veritatem rebellis.
