At a Meeting of the Vice-Chancellor and the Heads of Colleges and Halls of the University of Oxford on the 25. Day of November in the year of our Lord 1695.
WHEREAS in a Sermon lately preached before the University of Oxford in the Church of St. Peter in the East on the Feast of S S. Simon and Jude last past, these Words, amongst others, were delivered and asserted. viz. [There are Three Infinite distinct Minds and Substances in the Trinity.] Item [That the Three Persons in the Trinity are Three Distinct Infinite Minds or Spirits, and Three Individual Substances.] Which gave just cause of Offence and Scandal to many Persons:
The Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Colleges and Halls, at their generall Meeting this Day assembled, do judge and declare the said Words to be False, Impious, and Hereticall; Contrary to the Doctrine of the Catholick Church, and particularly to the received Doctrine of the Church of England:
And do therefore strictly forbid all manner of Persons, under their Care and Charge, to Preach or publish any such Doctrine for the future.
