Today's reading comes from the Anabaptist tradition by way of the Swiss Brethren Conference on February 24, 1527. It is known as the Schleitheim Confession. Largely available in German at the time, this English translation comes from William Joseph McGlothlin's 1911 volume Baptist Confessions of Faith. You can follow along on archive.org (https://archive.org/details/baptistconfessio00mcgl) or you can find a modern translation from many other sources, including Anabaptists.org: http://www.anabaptists.org/history/the-schleitheim-confession.html
