Commons to a Committee, who on the 2nd April reported to the House
a collection of the principal blasphemous errors in the book, which
are set out in the Journals. These errors consist of a denial of
our Saviour's divinity, together with "many other gross errors
concerning predestination, the fall of man, Christ adding to the
Commandments, Free-will, the Priesthood and Sacrifice of Christ,
Faith, Justification, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper." It was
