A90861	Innocencie appearing, through the dark mists of pretended guilt. Or, A full and true narration of the unjust and illegal proceedings of the commissioners of Berks, (for ejecting scandalous and insufficient ministers) against John Pordage of Bradfield in the same county. In which he is justly vindicated from the unjust and horrid aspersions of blasphemy, divelism or necromancie, scandal in his life, and all things else falsly objected against him by his enemies. Published for the clearing of truth, and the detecting of malice and subtilty, and for the prevention of all mispprehensions that may be caused by any scandalous pamphlets, and false relations of the proceedings in his case. As likewise for the information of all sober-minded Christians touching his judgement in many things of high concernment, and particularly concerning chastity, virginity, apparitions of spirits, visions, communion with the holy angels, the invisible worlds, magistracy, &c. / Written by the said John Pordage.	Pordage, John, 1607-1681.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2967; Thomason E1068_7; ESTC R210422	152,492	125

holy_a grace_n which_o flow_v from_o christ_n nature_n dwell_v in_o the_o soul_n now_o by_o these_o expression_n of_o i_o my_o scope_n be_v to_o make_v mrs._n grip_n see_v the_o necessity_n of_o

the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o now_o have_v relate_v the_o circumstance_n as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v remember_v i_o believe_v a_o sober_a and_o know_a christian_n will_v not_o

person_n as_o a_o article_n of_o my_o faith_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v three_o person_n distinct_a from_o each_o other_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o prejudice_v the_o unity_n in_o essence_n and_o i_o so_o believe_v the_o unity_n as_o not_o to_o confound_v the_o trinity_n of_o person_n 2._o part._n ans_fw-fr i_o never_o utter_v such_o expression_n in_o that_o way_n as_o to_o give_v any_o just_a ground_n of_o suspicion_n of_o my_o deny_v the_o trinity_n but_o i_o remember_v about_o four_o year_n since_o be_v before_o the_o committee_n of_o berks_n mr._n fowler_n or_o mr._n gilbert_n i_o remember_v not_o which_o desire_v the_o committee_n to_o give_v they_o liberty_n to_o ask_v i_o two_o or_o three_o question_n among_o the_o rest_n they_o ask_v i_o whether_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o deity_n i_o answer_v they_o i_o believe_v the_o trinity_n as_o it_o be_v record_v in_o 1_o john_n 5_o 7_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o you_o see_v i_o believe_v the_o trinity_n but_o do_v you_o believe_v the_o trinity_n of_o person_n say_v they_o i_o reply_v i_o find_v not_o the_o term_n person_n in_o the_o text_n but_o to_o put_v you_o out_o of_o doubt_n i_o do_v not_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n person_n and_o this_o afterward_o i_o tell_v to_o the_o abovementioned_a mrs._n grip_n in_o a_o private_a conference_n some_o year_n since_o to_o who_o i_o affirm_v that_o i_o find_v no_o such_o expression_n as_o person_n in_o trinity_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o the_o word_n person_n be_v a_o school-term_n be_v very_o difficult_a to_o be_v apprehend_v by_o common_a

that_o ordinary_a christian_n shall_v not_o be_v too_o curious_a in_o pry_v into_o that_o deep_a mystery_n of_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n but_o rather_o content_v themselves_o with_o what_o the_o scripture_n plain_o affirm_v of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o distinct_a yet_o one_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o answer_n pray_v consider_v what_o hard_a measure_n it_o be_v thus_o to_o pick_v a_o break_a sentence_n out_o of_o a_o long_a discourse_n and_o so_o to_o accuse_v one_o without_o relate_v the_o circumstance_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o clear_v what_o otherwise_o may_v seem_v very_o strange_a to_o prejudice_v person_n art_n 6._o that_o it_o be_v a_o weakness_n to_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n ans_fw-fr i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o any_o such_o

do_v will_v not_o make_v much_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o with_o a_o charitable_a qualification_n it_o may_v thus_o be_v make_v forth_o that_o it_o be_v a_o weakness_n for_o one_o to_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n who_o have_v the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n his_o sin_n pardon_v his_o person_n justify_v sanctify_a and_o his_o will_n convert_v from_o and_o crucify_v to_o sin_n for_o such_o a_o
