A84945	The accuser sham'd: or, A pair of bellows to blow off that dust cast upon John Fry, a Member of Parliament, by Col: John Downs, likewise a Member of Parliament, who by the confederacy and instigation of some, charged the said John Fry of blasphemy & error to the Honorable House of Commons. Whereunto is annexed, a word to the priests, lawyers, Royalists, self-seekers, and rigid-Presbyterians. Also a brief ventilation of that chaffie and absurd opinion, of three persons or subsistences in the Godhead. / By the accused John Fry.

if_o i_o know_v beforehand_o what_o you_o will_v say_v i_o shall_v be_v the_o better_o prepare_v to_o speak_v to_o it_o and_o for_o this_o i_o have_v a_o witness_n that_o sit_v by_o col_n john_n

fear_v your_o member_n within_o door_n i_o do_v not_o often_o trouble_v you_o with_o speech_n neither_o will_v i_o at_o this_o time_n but_o that_o the_o gent._n who_o it_o concern_v press_v i_o to_o give_v he_o a_o copy_n of_o what_o i_o be_o about_o to_o speak_v i_o must_v confess_v it_o lie_v heavy_a upon_o my_o spirit_n and_o i_o can_v no_o long_o be_v burden_a with_o it_o i_o acquaint_v

well_o that_o he_o can_v keep_v this_o in_o his_o mind_n nine_o or_o ten_o day_n without_o any_o addition_n or_o diminution_n but_o with_o his_o favour_n mr._n speaker_n his_o report_n be_v very_o

subsistence_n no_o more_o be_v import_v of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o be_v in_o the_o godhead_n in_o my_o judgement_n then_o may_v be_v affirm_v of_o i_o and_o all_o other_o creature_n according_a to_o

of_o the_o body_n and_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n this_o i_o speak_v in_o the_o painted-chamber_n by_o way_n of_o argument_n not_o deliver_v my_o

to_o the_o house_n which_z according_o be_v do_v and_o after_o the_o read_n of_o it_o and_o some_o debate_n thereupon_o i_o be_v restore_v and_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o those_o to_o

upon_o mistake_n or_o other_o ground_n i_o know_v not_o by_o col_n john_n down_n together_o with_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a charge_n before_o i_o speak_v to_o the_o abovesaid_a particular_n i_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o make_v my_o apology_n for_o not_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n at_o that_o instant_n when_o i_o be_v charge_v the_o reason_n that_o prevail_v with_o i_o which_o occur_v then_o into_o my_o memory_n be_v these_o first_o i_o think_v my_o deny_v the_o charge_n be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v the_o house_n second_o i_o think_v it_o will_v much_o reflect_v upon_o i_o to_o be_v catechize_v after_o that_o manner_n but_o consult_v since_o with_o the_o apostle_n 1_o pet._n 3._o 15._o who_o advise_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v a_o account_n to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v you_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o you_o etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v faithful_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n in_o the_o point_n i_o do_v and_o ever_o do_v since_o i_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o divinity_n real_o believe_v that_o the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n be_v god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n and_o that_o these_o three_o be_v equal_o god_n that_o god_n the_o son_n take_v our_o nature_n and_o manifest_v himself_o glorious_o in_o it_o and_o in_o a_o mystery_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 3._o 16._o and_o without_o controversy_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n which_o be_v god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n that_o the_o son_n remain_v god_n for_o ever_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o three_o god_n but_o one_o god_n my_o charge_n as_o follow_v first_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v i_o do_v not_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v god_n second_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v he_o be_v no_o more_o god_n than_o i_o be_o it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v more_o of_o god_n in_o he_o then_o i_o have_v but_o so_o far_o as_o god_n give_v forth_o himself_o to_o i_o i_o be_o as_o much_o god_n as_o he_o be_v thus_o far_o my_o charge_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v and_o this_o i_o do_v as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n i_o do_v say_v i_o do_v not_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v god_n in_o that_o manner_n that_o i_o conceive_v some_o do_v hold_v he_o forth_o for_o according_a to_o my_o best_a understanding_n of_o their_o expression_n they_o make_v jesus_n christ_n a_o distinct_a god_n from_o god_n the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o like_a they_o do_v of_o the_o father_n &_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o they_o hold_v forth_o three_o god_n and_o this_o be_v not_o my_o opinion_n alone_o of_o they_o for_o i_o meet_v with_o other_o of_o the_o same_o judgement_n to_o the_o last_o i_o answer_v in_o a_o word_n i_o deny_v it_o total_o for_o as_o it_o be_v never_o in_o my_o thought_n that_o jesus_n christ_n god_n be_v not_o god_n or_o that_o i_o shall_v ever_o partake_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n so_o i_o do_v abominate_a the_o opinion_n charge_v upon_o i_o the_o end_n of_o my_o paper_n to_o the_o house_n i_o shall_v brief_o speak_v to_o that_o gross_a and_o carnal_a opinion_n of_o three_o distinct_a person_n or_o subsistence_n in_o the_o god_n head_n and_o conclude_v person_n or_o subsistence_n be_v substance_n or_o accident_n as_o for_o the_o word_n person_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o it_o can_v proper_o be_v attribute_v but_o to_o man_n it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n with_o i_o that_o if_o you_o ask_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n what_o they_o mean_v by_o a_o person_n they_o will_v either_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o man_n or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v you_o any_o answer_n at_o all_o &_o for_o the_o word_n accident_n i_o suppose_v none_o will_v attribute_v that_o to_o god_n for_o according_a to_o my_o poor_a skill_n that_o word_n import_v no_o more_o but_o the_o figure_n or_o colour_n etc._n etc._n of_o a_o thing_n and_o certain_o no_o man_n ever_o see_v the_o likeness_n of_o god_n as_o the_o scripture_n abundant_o testify_v and_o therefore_o neither_o of_o the_o word_n person_n or_o subsistence_n can_v hold_v forth_o such_o a_o meaning_n as_o accident_n in_o god_n athanasius_n in_o his_o creed_n say_v there_o be_v one_o person_n of_o the_o father_n another_z of_o the_o son_n and_o another_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n other_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a subsistence_n in_o god_n well_o these_o three_o person_n or_o subsistence_n can_v be_v accident_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o any_o then_o certain_o they_o must_v be_v substance_n if_o so_o than_o they_o must_v be_v create_v or_o uncreated_a limit_v or_o unlimited_a if_o create_v and_o limit_v than_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n be_v a_o creature_n the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n a_o creature_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o creature_n which_o i_o think_v none_o will_v affirm_v if_o they_o be_v not_o create_v or_o limit_v than_o they_o must_v be_v uncreated_a or_o unlimited_a for_o i_o know_v no_o medium_n between_o create_a and_o uncreated_a limit_v and_o unlimited_a if_o they_o be_v uncreated_a and_o unlimited_a then_o there_o be_v three_o uncreated_a and_o unlimited_a substance_n and_o so_o consequent_o three_o go_n for_o my_o part_n i_o find_v no_o foot_n for_o such_o expression_n in_o scripture_n and_o i_o think_v they_o fit_v only_o to_o keep_v ignorant_a people_n in_o carnal_a and_o gross_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v explode_v they_o out_o of_o my_o creed_n i_o can_v have_v come_v forth_o in_o a_o better_a dress_n if_o i_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o help_n which_o be_v offer_v i_o but_o i_o rather_o choose_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o true_a face_n homely_a garb_n and_o russet_a coat_n than_o a_o paint_a face_n borrow_a accoutrement_n and_o a_o hypocritical_a posture_n a_o russet_a coat_n serve_v the_o countreymans_n turn_n very_o well_o and_o suit_n best_o for_o a_o man_n of_o his_o profession_n and_o he_o think_v it_o comely_a enough_o till_o he_o stand_v by_o a_o satin_n or_o scarlet_a suit_n than_o he_o see_v what_o a_o home_n spin_a fellow_n he_o be_v if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o benefit_n of_o this_o but_o to_o be_v a_o foil_n to_o set_v off_o other_o man_n part_n it_o will_v not_o be_v altogether_o
