He also diligently prosecuted theological studies, and the results he arrived at were of such a nature as to draw down upon him the reprobation of the civic authorities. A treacherous friend obtained the See also:manuscript of his Twelve Arguments See also:drawn out of Scripture, wherein the commonly received See also:opinion touching the deity of the See also:Holy Spirit is clearly and fully refuted; and in See also:December 1645 he was summoned before the See also:parliamentary See also:committee then sitting at Gloucester. By them he was committed to See also:prison, though he was at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

Notwithstanding this and the See also:ordinance of the 2nd of May 1648, visiting denial of the See also:doctrine of the Trinity with See also:death, Biddle issued two tracts, one a See also:Confession of Faith touching the Holy Trinity, and the other The Testimonies of See also:Irenaeus, concerning the one See also:God and the Persons of the Trinity (1648). These were suppressed by See also:government, and the See also:Westminster See also:assembly of divines eagerly pressed for the passing of an See also:act by which heretics like Biddle could be put to death. This, however, was resisted by the See also:army, and by many of the See also:Independent parliamentarians; and after the death of the See also:- KING

He engaged in See also:preaching and in See also:literary See also:work, particularly an edition of the See also:Septuagint, published by See also:Roger See also:Daniel. In See also:February 1652 the See also:general act of oblivion gave him See also:complete freedom, and his adherents soon began to meet regularly for See also:worship on Sundays. They were called Biddellians, or Socinians, or Unitarians, the name which has now become associated with their opinions. Biddle was not See also:left See also:long in See also:peace. He translated some Socinian books, among others the Life of See also:Socinus, and published two catechisms which excited a fury of indignation. He was summoned before the parliament in December 16 J4 and imprisoned. The See also:dissolution of that See also:body again set him at See also:liberty for a short time, but he was presently brought up for some expressions used by him in a discussion with John See also:Griffin, an illiterate Baptist pastor, who invoked the See also:law against his See also:superior opponent. He was put upon trial, and was only rescued by See also:Cromwell, who sent him (See also:October 1655) out of the way to one of the Scilly Islands, allowed him See also:loo crowns a See also:year, and in 1658, on the solicitation of many See also:friends, released him. For a few years he lived and taught quietly in the See also:country, but returning to See also:London he was in See also:June 1662 again arrested, and fined £loo. As he was unable to pay this sum, he was at once committed to prison, where fever, caused by the pestilential See also:atmosphere, carried him off on the 22nd of See also:September 1662.
