AN ACCOUNT OF THE Decree of the University of Oxford, against some Heretical Tenets.
At a Meeting of Mr. Vice-Chancellour, and the Heads of Colledges and Halls, in the University of Oxford, the 25^th of November, 1695.

UPon occasion of a Sermon lately Preached before the Ʋniversity of Oxford, in the Church of St. Peter's in the East, on the Feast of St. Simon and Jude last past, these words amongst others, were publickly spoken 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 words gave many Persons just cause of offence and scandal.

Mr. Vice-Chancellour, and the Heads of Colledges and Halls, being now met together in their General Meeting, Judge, Declare, and Decree, that the foresaid words are false, Impious, and Heretical; disagreeing and contrary to the Doctrine of the Catholick Church, and especially to the Doctrine of the Church of England, publickly received.

Wherefore they order, and strictly enjoin, all, and several of the Persons committed to their Trust and Care, that for the future they do not maintain any such Positions in their Sermons, or elsewhere.

By the Decree of Mr. Vice-Chancellour, and the Heads of Houses.

Ben. Cooper, Notary Publick, and Register to the Ʋniversity of Oxford.

It may be noted, That the Propositions above-mentioned, are Dr. S—k's, in his Discourse of the Trinity, and the Defenders of it; and wrote against by the Animadverter, &c.
