Of this “delivery of the Creed,” which was usually done by a Presbyter, we have examples in S. Augustine’s Sermons In traditione Symboli, ccxii.–ccxiv., each of which contains a brief recapitulation and explanation of the several articles of belief.  In Serm. ccxiv., after a short introduction, we find the following note inserted by the preacher himself.  [“After this preface the whole Creed is to be recited, without interposing any discussion.  ‘I believe in God the Father Almighty,’ and the rest that follows.  Which Creed, thou knowest, is not wont to be written:  after it has been said, the following discussion (disputatio) is to be added.”]
