Origin from 1558
The Guanabara Confession of Faith was a Calvinist creed written in 1558 by the French Huguenots Jean du Bourdel, Matthieu Verneuil, Pierre Bourdon and Andre la Fon while under arrest by Nicolas Durand de Villegaignon in the French colony of Guanabara Bay, Brazil. It is described as the first Protestant writing produced in Brazil and in the Americas as a whole, and its four authors were hanged twelve hours after writing it.
