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. (mr tsa
