Was there ever a version of the Apostles creed that had the words "Holy Christian Church" in it?

I was looking up a reference for [another question](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/73740/4) on this site and stumbled across something Martin Luther wrote which struck me as odd:
> In the Apostolic Creed we confess: "I believe in the holy Christian Church."
>
> [Commentary on Galatians - Martin Luther](https://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/luther/gal/web/gal3-10.html)
I had always heard even Protestants said (begrudgingly and with great explanation of their meaning) "holy catholic Church" with a little c catholic (even in the Big-C Catholic translation).
Was the Apostles Creed something that the Reformers tried to reform or did this have some older source?
