Ctmjiftory Court, Doftor’s Ccmmxf,
May 13, 1008. .
THE REV. F. STONE.
This was a profecucion inftittitcd
by his Majefty's Procurator Gene
ral, on behalf of the ftate, again 11
the Rev. F. Stone; K.eftor of Cold
Norton, in Efiex, on the charges of
having preacfied, on the 3th of Ju
ly, 180*, ir Vifitation Sermon, in
the Church of Danbury, before the
Archdeacon of the Diocsfe, and af
terwards printed and publifhed the
fame, in which he denied the doc
trine of the miraculous conception
of the Holy Virgin Mary, the Ho
ly Trinity, the Divinity of our
Lord and Saviour and the atone
ment by the ; birth and dqath of
Cbrift. In fupport of thefe charg
es, the depofitionn of Archdeacon
and four other Clergymen were
read to the Court: alio the depofi
tion of Mr. J. Johnfon, of St.
Paul’s Churchyard, and Mr. Stains,
of Chelmsford, book-fellers, to
prove the printing and publication!
thereof. On the part of the profe
cucion, the Beamed Dcftor con
tended that this Doft/inc was con
trary to the eftablifhed law of the
Church of England \ for by a fta
tuce of the 13th Elizabeth, it is en
abled, that if any perfon ihall advif
ably maintain or affirm, any doftrine
diredtly contrary and repugnant to
any of the articles of religion, and
perfift in the fame, and not revoke
his trior, he fhall fie deprived cf
his ecclefiaftical preferments. Mr.
Stone read to the Court a written
defence, which occupied nearly two
hours, wherein he endeavored to
fhew that he had done no more than
fulfilled his engagements with his
ordaining biffiop, that he had con
formed to the Church of England,
as by law eftablifhed, and that he
had not offended againft’the ftatute.
Sir Win. Scott, after making feve
ral pertinent obfervations, was of
opinion that the charges were clear
ly eftablifhed, and faid he could r*ot
refift the Aft of Parliament, but
deferred giving final judgment till
the next court day, in order to give
the party an opportunity to revoke
his error.
May 10. /.
This being the day appointed far
the Rev. F, Stone to revoke cer
tain doftrines which he had preach
ed and pubiifhed, contradictory to
the eftablifhed religion, an irwtnenle
concourfe o r people collected in
the court-room and hall adjoining.
At half pad nine o’clock, Sir Wm.
Scott took his. feat, c.nd Mr. Stone,
on being called iippu, produced a
paper, which was read, ar.d which
he offered as a revocation of the
doftrine which had given offence.
In fubftance it was, that he wis
unaware of having contravened any
Act of Parliament relative to reli
gion, but that he had always made
tne Holy Scriptures the rule of h s
beli .f. He con ft fled that z: an ear
lv period of his life ne had fublcrib
ed to the 39 articles, and that f.e
had uniformly fmee fupported their
fpirit.
