A Short ACCOVNT OF THE Vniust proceedings OF THE Court of Kingstone upon Thames IN A TRYAL between Richard Mayo Priest and E. Burrough the 31. of the fifth Moneth 1658. RIchard Mayo Priest of Kingston sent for Edward Burough out of a Meeting in the Town to come to the Steeple-house and R. Mayo divers times challenged E. B. that what he had against him and his Doctrine there he might speak it and E. B. went to the Steeple-house and heard R. Mayo's Doctrine who did Preach and affirm 1. That Paul as a Minister of Christ exhorted Saints the Corinthians to follow and obey a light which was not Christ nor the light of the Gospel 2. He did exhort the People of Kingston as a Minister of Christ in his Preaching to them to follow and obey a light which said he is not Christ nor the light of the Gospel 3. He said that a man may be a righteous man and not a godly man without distinction 4. Also at another time before that R. Mayo affirmed that the light of Christ which every man is lightened withal Joh. 1.9 is Carnal and darknesse 5. He did affirm under his own hand that Christ was not the word that David walked by But these Doctrines he could not prove by the Scriptures being put upon it and then E. B. said that they were damnable Doctrines and errors and not sound nor according to the truth for which saying an Action was entered and E. B. was arrested and imprisoned and about a yeer after was brought to tryal in the Court at Kingston and being called to his Answer in the Court he lawfully proved by evident Witnesses all the particulars aforementioned and the Priest confessed to the things that he did affirm and preach them And E. B. still confessed and said that these Doctrines were not sound but damnable and error which were the words charged against him to be a slander A Jury being called to hear and determine the matter E. B. desired to be heard and would have proved according to the Scriptures to the Jury and whole Court that the Doctrines aforesaid were damnable and unfound and errors But the Judge Jury and Court would not suffer him to be heard to manifest the truth But the Judge told the Jury before they went out they might find good damage for the Priest and the Jury went forth and brought in E. B. guilty and gave the Priest 100. l. damage for slandering him and yet would not suffer E. B. to clear himself before they condemned him but dealt unjustly against him Now the light of Christ that lighteth every man that comes into the world which is the life of men which was in the beginning with God which Iohn came to bear witness of that all might believe in him and have eternal life For all that received him that lighteneth every one that came into the world with the true light he gave them power to become the sons of God Iohn 1. chap. Now this light which every man is lightened withall by Christ saith R. Mayo is carnal and darknesse and that which is carnal and darknesse is of the flesh and of the Devil And the Judges and Jury hath justified the Priest in so saying and falsly damnified E. B. for saying this Doctrine is unsound and damnable And this Priest Jury and Court have gone about to prove that Iohn came to bear witnesse of that which is carnal and darkness who saith he came for a witnesse to bear witnesse unto the true light and that is the true light saith Iohn that lighteth every one that comes into the world And this was Iohns Record and this is the light which the Priest of Kingston saith is carnal and darknesse and the Jury and court hath justified him in it and damnified E. B. for witnessing to the contrary and saying this is damnable Doctrine Now that that is carnal and darkness is earthly fleshly and devillish but Christ nor his light is not earthly fleshly and devillish but is from Heaven and of the Spirit And all that which is carnal and darknesse is of the Devil and Devillish and so is the light of Christ that lighteneth every man by Rich. Mayo's Doctrine and the Judge and Jury hath justified that it is so carnal and darkness of the flesh and of the Devil but in Christ there is no darkness for the Father and the Son are one and God is light and in him is no darkness at all the first Epistle of Ioh. 1. chap. but this Priests Doctrine is quite contrary to Iohns Doctrine and contrary to the Scriptures who hath held forth that the light of Christ is of the flesh and of the Devil and therefore his Doctrine is damnable and error in the highest degree and Christ said the Devil had nothing in him Joh. 14.30 but Rich. Mayo saith the light that Christ lighteth every one withall which comes from Christ is carnal and darkness to wit of the flesh and of the devil and so would make appear that the Devil and darkness had something in Christ and the Apostle said Darkness had no fellowshhip with light nor Christ with Belial 2 Cor. 6.14 but R. Mayo holds forth that darkness is in Christ and would make Light and darkness one for he saith the light of Christ which lightens every one is darkness and carnal but in this the Priest and Rulers of Kingston hath shewed to all the world what Spirit they are of and what they believe concerning Christ even that his light which is pure and eternal is of the flesh and of the devil carnal and darkness and its manifest they are uncapable of judging Doctrines for to say and justifie as the Priest and Court of Kingston hath done that the light of Christ which lightneth every man which Iohn came for a witness of that all men through him should believe is carnal and darkness It is blasphemy it is false it is a lie it is of the Devil and damnable Doctrine and he that affirms so is not fit to be a Teacher and you that justifie him in it and condemns him that reproves it are not fit to be Judges of Christs Cause nor of the things of God and Christ that are spiritual And if the Judge and Iury say they do not own and believe that the light of Christ is carnal and darkness then they have judged against their consciences and against their oaths in condemning a man for denying this doctrine and saying it is damnable for is not carnal and darkness of the flesh and of the devil and out of the truth and from below And is not Christ from above and from heaven And is not his light so You have judged like heathens and like men without any understanding and you have shewed your selves to be like the unbelieving Iews Their Priests and Courts and Counsels judged Christ to be a deceiver and the Prince of Devils And you say and do justifie it in your judgement that
