Cole, Vol. xlix.). 'The following History of St John's College, composed by the late worthy and rev d . Mr Tho. Baker, fellow of the said House, was given 5 by the author to the late worthy Edward earl of Oxford and Mortimer, with a considerable number of his other MSS., and composed a part of what was then called the Harleian Library, now lodged in the British Musseum. That Mr. Baker had a design to publish it, is evident from what he says in his preface, p. lv. of Bp. Fisher's Funeral Sermon on I o the Countess of Richmond. When we recover such a fund of old history, in regard to a most flourishing society, we are more apt to regret the loss of the more modern part, than to be duly grateful for what is already prepared for us : thus was I going to lament, that a person so ably qualified to have drawn out the history of his own times, should leave in off with Bp. Gunning's niastersliip, in King Charles the sd's reign. But when we consider the force of prejudice and party, of which Mr Baker in his life time felt its full weight, and even since his death cannot escape the rage of it, no doubt he acted prudently to stop where he did. 20 'The MS. from whence I copy the following history, is a folio, con- taining 441 written pages, and about an hundred blank pages at the end : it is bound in red morocco leather, and elegantly gilt, at the expence of the late Dr. Newcome, master of and for as long a time as I pleased. -? c ' Mr. Beadon is chancellor of St. David's, archdeacon of London, rector of Stamford-Rivers in Essex, of the gift of the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, the earl of Clarendon, and of Orset in Essex also, of the patronage of Bp. Terrick, to whom he was chaplain. Mr Richard Beadon B.D. is brother to Mr. Beadon, rector of North-Stoneham near Ports- 37 556 PREFACE. mouth in Hampshire, who was also fellow of St. John's College, and being tutor to Lord Bute's son, at the time of Mr. Fuller, the rector's death, the living falling to the crown, by the lunacy of the patron, Mr. Fleming of Stechworth, in Cambridgeshire, the earl procured it for Mr. Beadon: otherwise, I had a chance for it. 5 'The late master, Dr. Powell's opinion of this book, I have already hinted at: a more particular account of it may be seen in my vol. 31. P- 2 5- ' The MS. is written in a uniform, but no very liberal hand, and seems to have been copied from the original very exactly 1 , by some of the mar- IO ginal references being written, as Mr. Baker entered them, from want of room, from the bottom to the top of the page. I shall follow my original as minutely as I am able, and wherever I put on the margin any thing of my own or other than Mr Baker's, I shall religiously mark it with the initials of my own name, Wm. Cole. 1 5 'At present I have no time to draw up an account of Mr. Baker's life to prefix to this history : in many of my volumes are scattered, de- tached pieces which would serve for that purpose. At more leisure, if God spares me life and health, I have inclinations, were my abilities equal to it, to write the life of a person, whose character thro' every stage of 2 life, notwithstanding the prejudices of party men, was justly imitable ; and of whose learning, worth and abilities I have ever entertained the most exalted ideas. I was too young, when he was going out of this world, to have had the pleasure and advantage of his acquaintance : and esteem it an inferior kind of happiness to have often seen him in his walks 25 about the university, and at last attended his funeral in the chapel of his college.' Wm. Cole. [See Cole's notice of Baker in Brydges, Restituta IV. 409.] 1 ' Mr. George Ashby told me, that it was copied for Dr. Newcome, by an Italian. I am afraid, since I made the index, that this Italian has made 30 many blunders, especially in persons' names.' Wm. Cole. P. 3. To mt Founder. ' No doubt the preceding verses were made by Mr. Baker on Dr. Hugh Ashton, the founder of the fellowship he enjoyed : and I think he had a picture of him, taken probably from his monument, either here or at 35 York, and which I have seen, either at St John's college lodge, or at Dr. Zach. Grey's.' Wm. Cole. P. 7 1. 3. Pbeface. A worthy friend of mine, who designed a view of Yorkshire. Baker is not mentioned in Drake's Efmracum as helping that work. His first 40 letter to Thoresby is dated 7 Mar. 17?? ; he there seems to speak of his history as unfinished (Thoresby's Corresp. 11. 230). I*. 7 1. 14. / toughi for access to the treasury, that was then not very easy for me to come at. In the treasury is a paper book in 4to., in a vellum wrapper, very dirty and much stained, containing a note of things 45 taken out of the treasury and returned 1561 1787. From 20 Oct. 1686 J. Houghton sen. bursar begins to take out documents which PREFACE. ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL. 5/)7 may have been intended for Baker's use. In 1689 Tho. Broughton bursar takes out other documents. On 16 Sept. 1691 a number of Yorkshire foundations were taken out by Tho. Broughton and dis- tinctly stated to be in 'Mr Tho. Baker's hand'. From this time nurne- 5 rous documents are taken out by Broughton. Baker first signs his name as witness 30 Aug. 1692, and first takes out documents in his own name 22 Jan. i69f ; and so continues till 17 14. After his ejection he took out books in 17 16 and 1727 in his own name, but generally (apparently) in the name of W. Baker. 1 o P. 9 1. 3.

'About the year 1256, John Shotley, prior of Bernwell, with his convent, demise the messuage now called Pythagoras his schole, to Eustace Fitz-Henry of Cambridge, which formerly had been in the *5 occupation of Henry, the son of Edward Frost, the person, I presume, mentioned [p. 15 1. 6] as being the original founder of this hospital, about 12 10. So that St. John's college, now grafted on that hospital, and still enjoying its possessions, may justly be accounted the first of our present colleges. By a document I have seen from the original in 20 Merton college archives, it appears that this old building now called Pythagoras his schole, and then Domus lapidea, was about the year above mentioned, 1256, in the occupation of St. John's Hospital: for about that time, the master and brethren grant to Hervey Fitz-Eustace, and his heirs for ever, 2 beds, with their necessary coverlids for the use 25 of infirm persons, in their stone house, obliging themselves to find a chaplain to celebrate mass particularly for the soul of Eustace Fitz- Heivey, in acknowledgement for the lands granted by him to the hospital, lying in Cambridge, Chesterton and Madingley. No doubt he had been a considerable benefactor to this religious house, tho' 3 omitted by Mr. Baker, who probably might not record all the benefac- tions to it, for fear of swelling his history to too great a bulk : for even so late as the year 1284, while Ric. Cheverel was master, the}' oblige themselves to find and maintain a chaplain, one of their brethren, for the above purpose, within their own house. This was after that old 35 building was in the possession of Merton college : yet as he had been a benefactor to them in other lands, they were obliged to celebrate for him as such. v. my vol. 31. p. 75, and vol. 25, p. 46* &c.

Dr Hymers employed for his edition (8vo. Cambr. 1840) Baker's own copy with his additions, since presented to the college library by W. F. Beadon esq. grandson of bp. Beadon (MS. R 52). The original edition (Wynkyn de Worde 1509) was given by Baker ?o (MS. I 41). Wm.

Fisher reserved for himself in the 35 statutes of 1516 (Early Statutes p. 355 1. 35) the use of the rooms built for the master ; in those of 1524 (ibid. p. 273 1. 10 seq.) the upper rooms were reserved for him during his life, and after his death for the master ; of the two lower the larger was to be assigned to pensioners or fellows; the smaller for a treasury. Similarly in the code of 1530 40 (ibid. p. 166 1. 11 sq.). In 1545 (ibid. p. 167 1. 17) the same rooms are assigned to the master. P. 77 1. 8. The master's oath.

By the statutes of 1530 (c. 35 pp. 166, 168) the master's salary was 6. 13s. \d., and one servant was maintained for him by the college.

'Oct. 26. 1779 dining with the master, I went with him into the chapel, where I discovered these arms on each end of an arch, but so filled with whitening as to be indistinguishable'. Wu. Cole. In Lewis 1. p. xxi. is an extract from Baker (MS. Harl. 7047 f. [6b): 'Above his chapell and tombe 35 was graved in Romayn fair letters the sentence, Faciam vos fieri Pisca- tores hominum ... v. Prsefat. Libri Erasmi de modo praedicandi. All the stalls' ends in the queere of that college... bad graven in them by the joyner a Fish and an eere of wheat.

P. 92 1. 7. venerable fragments of Fisher's monument. 'In 1773 these parts of the tomb, quite fresh as new, were displaced out of the chapel 568 fisher's and Thompson's chapels. into the weather, under the dripping of the roof of the chapel, where I saw them perfect: but the wet utterly perished and mouldered them to pieces next year. I took a draught of the monument, which may be seen in my voL 45 p. 89.' Wm. Cole. In the preface to Lewis (p. xx. seq. ) the editor has printed the passage referred to : ' Mr Ashby the 5 President of St John's, ... June 4th 1773 told me that in cleaning away some rubbish in an old disused Chapel, at the east end of their College Chapel, in order to lay aside in it some of their materials they were now preparing and using in casing with stone the south side of their first Court, they lit upon an old Tomb of Clunch, which had I O the appearance of having been only prepared in order to be set up, but never connected together. The two Shields at the head and feet are elegantly shaped, but seem never to have had anything either carved or painted on them, being as fresh and neat as if out of the workman's hands, and both encircled in a Garland or Chaplet, exactly like those 1 5 on the Tomb of the Foundress of the College in the Chapel of Henry VII. at Westminster : the two sides are ornamented in great taste with figures of boys supporting an entablature, where, no doubt, in- scriptions were designed, but never executed, and the mouldings at the top and bottom, as also the pilasters, are all finished in a Grecian taste 20 that was in fashion in Henry VII. and Vlllth. times ... Mr. Essex, who drew the draught in lead pencil, spoiled by me, by roughly scratch- ing it over in ink to preserve it, on the opposite page, thinks, from the hollow on the top, that an image or figure was designed to be laid upon it: the figure however, if there was one, is not yet discovered. The 25 monument is now removed to a small vacant bit of a court on the north side of the chapel, to the east. ' 'Nov. 1st 1773 . . Mr Ashby . . informed me that the Chapel, in which this monument was found, was built by Bishop Fisher, on whose execution the Tomb was taken to pieces and thrown aside. 3 'I was told by Mr Essex 1774, that this tomb, by being exposed under the drippings of the north Side of the Chapel all the winter* is entirely spoiled and shivered by the wet and frost. ' Peter Torregiano . . made the Tomb in Westm. Abbey for King Henry VII. and his mother:... it is probable therefore that he gave 35 the design for this of Bishop Fisher, in the same shape and taste as the latter, v. Mr Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting 1. 102, 104 ed. 1. Little conception of it is to be drawn from my draft on the other side, but from the Countess' tomb.' P. 92 L II. Dr Thompson's chapel.

And that which is worthy of memorie, all theis givers were almost Northrenmen : 570 BISHOP FISHER. who being liberallie rewarded in the service of their Prince, bestowed it as liberallie for the good of their Contrie. Soin men thought there- fore, that D.

Verely, judgement in doctrine was wholy altered: order in discipline very sore changed: the 3 love of good learning began sodenly to wax cold : the knowledge of the tonges (in spite of some that therein had florished) was manifestly contemned : and so, the way of right studie purposely perverted: the choice of good authors of mallice confownded. Olde sophistrie (I say not well) not olde, but that new rotten sophistrie began to beard and 35 aholder logicke in her owne tong : yea, I know, that heades were cast together and counsell devised, that Duns, with all the rable of bar- barous questionistes, should have dispossessed of their place and rowmes Aristotle, Plato, Tullie and Demosthenes, whom good M.

John Mason writes to Cecil, London 11 Aug. 1561 (Dodd's Church Hist., ed. Tierney, II.

Harrington, the queen's god3on, tells us that 'being once above the rest greatly feasted, the archbishop and his wife being together, she gave him special thanks with gracious and honourable terms, and then looking on his wife, And you, saith she, Madam / may not call you, and Mistress I am ashamed to call you; so I know not 5 what to call you, but yet I do thank you.''

Morton (York, 1659, \i m "), 60 62: 'About this time (viz. Anno 1617.) the Kings Majesty returned out of his Pro- 45 ^rrs from Scotland, and passed through Lancashire, where he was Petitioned by the Plebeyans of that County, for Recreatwn to be allowed on the Lords day : which was accordingly gratiously granted BOOK OF SPORTS. 585 by His Majesty. Whereupon, they growing insolent, and being in- couraged and heartened by some Gentlemen who were Popish Recu- sants, they made ill use of the Kings gracious clemency ; and there- upon Bishop Morton made his humble address unto His Majesty, and 5 acquainted him with sundry particulars of their abuse of His well- meant gracious favour: Whereupon it pleased His Majesty, to com- mand the Bishop, to adde what cautions and restrictions he thought fit to be inserted into His Majesties Declaration for that purpose, which was accordingly done, viz. That they should have no liberty for recrea- IO tion till after Evening Prayer: That they should have no Beare-baiting nor any such unlawful sports: And that no Recusant, who came not to Morning and Evening Prayers, should be capable of such His Royall indulgence at all.' Of those who resolved flatly to refuse Twisse was one (Sam. Clarke's Lives of Divines, 1683, pp. 16, 17). Some read the 15 book, and then preached against it, 'setting God and the King as openly opposite' (Fuller) : e. g. Jonath. Jephcot at Swaffham : 'When the Book of Sports came out, he . . read it according to Order, and then preach 'd for the sanctifying the Day' (Calamy, Ace. 113). So John Bartlet at S. Thomas's near Exeter, by bp. Jos. Hall's advice : ' When 20 the Booh of Sports was sent down, he was prevail'd on by the Bishop (who was naturally very timorous) to read it : and at the very same Time (as the Bishop also advised him) he preach'd on the fourth Com- mandment ' (Calamy, Contin. 239). Ri. Culmer, ' being settled Minis- ter of Goodnestone in East-Kent, he was driven from thence by Arch- 2 5 bishop Laud, because he would not read the Book of Sports ' (Calamy Ace. 388; see index to Laud's Works, under Culmer and Sports). Wm. Thomas of TJbleigh 'met with Trouble for refusing to read the Book of Sports, and had therein but one Companion in that Diocese, which was Mr. (afterwards Dr.) Chambers. Many Friends and Minis- ters wrote to him at that time to satisfie him as to the Lawfulness of what he scrupled, yet his Conscience could not allow him to read the Declaration. His Censure was for a time delay'd ; but at length on June 23, 1635, he was suspended ab Officio, and on the 28th of July, a Benefcio. And he recorded it as his Observation, that while he was in 35 the Consistory, and while Sentence was pronoune'd, he foimd himself more courageous than at other times. After three Years Suspen- sion he was restor'd, upon the Intercession of some with Arch-bishop Laud on his behalf. And it was observ'd, that the first Publick Au- thoritative Restitution was granted in that very Diocese where the 40 Business first arose. Mr. Thomas found that his Ministry had yet a greater Power and Reverence in the Hearts of his People afterwards, than before ' {Ace. 588). See further evidence in Sam.

About the beginning of Dec. 1565, the fellows and scholars, chiefly the younger sort, to the number of near 300, some said, threw off the surplice with one consent. Longe- worth the master being absent, 'the most Part of the College-Company 1 5 came into the Chapel one Festival-Day without their Surplices and Hoods, . . and withil male some Diversity in the manner of the Ad- ministration of the Communion ; and so continued to do : And this the said Master upon his Return allowed, without Complaint to any Ma- gistrate, or Endeavour to Restore the former antient Usage.' Cecil 20 wrote to the College ('many Members whereof had humbly writ to him, That their Consciences might not be forced to receive the Cere- mony they had laid aside'), charging them 'with Vain-Glory, and Affectation of Popularity, and Contempt of Laws.' To the v. c. he wrote, 10 Dec. 1565, saying that the queen required the misdemeanour 25 to be severely punished: it was a 'leud Leprosy of Libertines :' these external things 'of themselves were of none other Value but to make a Demonstration of Obedience, and to render a Testimony of Unity.'

Cecil sent for Fulk and Longeworth, and compelled the latter 14 Dec, to confess himself faulty 'in suffering 35 the Fellows and Scholars to continue in their Innovations'. Cecil also wrote, Westm. 1 3 Dec. , to the bp. of Ely : ' He was very sorry of late to understand of a notable Disorder in the College of St John's ; whereof his Lordship (he said) was by ordinary Authority the Visitor, and he by bringing-up an old Scholar.' Had written to the president ' both as Chan- 40 cellor of the University, and as one affectionated to that House; that he should first attempt by ordinary Means, in the Absence of the Master, to reform the said Disorder : and that if he could not, then he should send these his Letters to him [the said Bishop]. With the which he did recommend unto him the afflicted State of that good and divine 45 College; most earnestly requiring him, Per omnes charitutes, with speed to send his Commission or other Direction thither, for understanding the Truth of the Disorders; especially of that which had been com- mitted in the general wanton throwing away of Surplices in that Col- lege, and of the Singularity and Variety begun in the Administration 39 588 SURPLICE FEUDS. of the holy Communion.

And when the Censor of the College had called him, and ques- tioned him for this Irregularity, he answered modestly, laying the Cause upon his Conscience, which would not suffer him to let loose the IO Reins to such things : when at length the true cause was known to be that he had pawned his Surplice to a Cook with whom he had run in Debt for his Belly' (Strype's Annals 1. c. 44, pp. 478 483).

App. n. xxix. p. 70) : ' pauculi illi puri Evangelij Doctores, alij quidem exauctorantur, alij vero in carceres etiam detru- 1 5 duntur, nisi ilia omnia se inviolabiliter polliceantur approbaturos, ut neque verbo neque scripto contradicere liceat, ac tandem pileis etiam quadratis, Collipendijs, Superpelliceis, Casulis, et casteris id genus, sacerdotes Baalis referant.' Paule's Life of Whitgift (Wordsworth's Eccl. Biogr. ed. 4, III. 568, 569) : ' Upon a Sunday (doctor Whitgift being 20 from home) master Cartwright with some of his adherents made three sermons in that one day ; wherein they so vehemently inveighed . . against the surplice, as those of Trinity college were so moved there- with, that at evening prayer they cast off their surplices (though against the statutes of the house) and were all placed in the chapel 25 without surplices, three only excepted.' See indexes to Strype s. r. Habits ; and to Parker Soc. series s. v. Surplice. The most copious repertory of obji ctions to the surplice, mark of the ' linigeri calri of Isis,' is supplied by Prynne. By the king's order for subscriptions before degrees, 3 Dec. 16 16, 30 art. 7, it was required ' that all scholers both at chapell and at the schooles keep the scholastical habits' (Heywood and Wright Camb. Univ. Trans. II. 269; Cooper in. 104). By the king's further injunctions, circa 16 19, n. 4, it was ordered : 'That all the communicants do take the communion kneeling;... and 35 that the laudable custome of coming to the chappell in surplices and hoods, according to their degree, upon the accustomed days, be ob- served by the master and fellows, scholers and studentes, of all colleges, and that they so continue in their surplices and hoods at all times during the time of common prayer, the sermon and the administration 40 of the sacrament' (Heywood and Wright 275; Cooper 130). On a petition read in the house of commons 23 Jan. 164*, it was declared by the house 17 Febr. following, ' that the statute made in the university of Cambridge, which imposeth the wearing of surplices upon all graduates and students, under several pains, and reinforced by the 45 canons made 1603, ought not to be pressed or imposed upon any student or graduate, it being against law and the liberty of the subject. And it is therefore ordered, that it shall not, for time to come, be pressed or imposed upon any student or graduate whatsoever' (Hey- wood and Wright 455, Cooper 336). 50 wiiitgift's statutes (1570). r>89 P. 163 1. 25.

Wheras also the same Party did in open Pulpit pretend to confute Dr. Whitgift and was rebuked by one of his Seniors, the Master did not (as he was bound by Duty) take part with the Senior, 3 but rather justified the other in his inconsiderate and disorderly Attempt.

What is the cause whie some men doe now alowe that which before they have greatlye disalowed and misliked 1 Wisdome in their owne conceyte.' Faulkner sends these extracts to Burghley with the statement : ' This is the trew copye of those worde3 spoken in the chaple in a private exercise about the moneth of July last 1 5 past, for the which the master found himself greaved, and convented me before the seniors of our house ; who (as they have sayed it, with the same treuth I hope that they stand redy to depose it) for quietnes sake and to pacifye the master, rather then for any offence by me commytted, did agree to punish me iiij a. ; and for shew of offence 20 declared in ther decree, that for naming estates by the name of master and seniors, not esteming the trespas done unto them, I was to be reproved for offending him : how justly, I leave it to your lord- shipes consideratione '.

Fuller's Cambridge, ed.

True it is, when they have least corn, they have most bread, I mean, best maintenance, the dividends then mounting the highest : I wish them good stomachs to their meat, digestion to their stomach, strength and IO health on their digestion.'

That famous college hath been long, and yet is (as I am informed), troubled with factions and contentions. Some of that university, which be of credit, think the readiest way of reformation to be, if a visitation by her Majesty's commission may be 5 procured, and the statutes of the college reduced to some certainty, and in some things altered by the report of the visitors, understanding the state of the house. I am informed that there is no original au- thentic book of statutes in the treasury of that college, as by statute ought to be, and is in all other colleges duly observed. The copies of IO the statutes which are now abroad in that house are rased, blotted, in- terlined, and corrupted with marginal additions, so as indeed no man can certainly affirm what is statute, what not. I think therefore your lordship might do a very good deed, at your convenient leisure, to procure such a visitation from her Majesty, with such good instructions 1 5 as your lordship shall think requisite in such a case.

But, when he came to a more perfect Knowledge of his Worth, he expiated that Fault with an unexpressible Estimation of him.

Andr. Downs. There are several notices of him in the life of his pupil John Bois (Peck Desid. Cur. bk. vm). He and Bois were two of the six to review the new version of the Bible, p. 48 9 : 'For IO the Dispatch of which Businesse Mr Downes and Mr Bois were sent up for to London. Where meeting (though Mr Downes would not so 'till he was either fetcht or threatned with a Pursivant) their four Fellow- Labourers, they went dayly to Stationers' Hall, and in three Quarters of a year finished their Task. All which Time they had from the 1 5 company of Stationers xxxs. per Week duly paid them; tho' they had nothing before but the self-rewarding, ingenious Industry.' Downes was so jealous of Sir H. Savile's greater approbation of John Bois' notes on Chrysostom, that he was never reconciled to his pupil, who nevertheless often confessed that he was much bound to llesse God for 20 him. Downes died 2 Febr. 162^ (ib. 10 12). He has verses on Whitaker (Whitakeri Opera 1. 706); and in Epicedium Cantabr. 1612, pp. 6, 51 ; large notes in the appendix to Savile's Chrysostom vol. VIII. He corresponded with Casaubon in Greek, Cas. Epist. n. 108, letters to him, ibid. nos. 108, 949, 994, 1027, 1054, 1109; cf. n. 264 fin. p. 25 136; 268 fin. p. 139. He used to give private lectures in his house, which D'Ewes declined to attend on the ground of expense (Diary 3 May 1620). See ibid. 17 Mar. i6jji (1. 139) : ' I was, during the latter part of my stay at Cambridge, for the most part a diligent frequenter of Mr. Downes' Greek Lectures, he reading upon one of Demosthenes' 30 Greek orations, Dc Corona ; of whom I think it fit to take occasion in this place to transmit somewhat to posterity, having been with him on Wednesday in the afternoon, March the 22nd, by his own desire. He had been Greek professor in the University about thirty years, and was at this time accounted the ablest Grecian of Christendom, 35 being no native of Greece : which Joseph Scaliger himself confessed of him long before, as I was informed, having received an elaborate letter from him, upon some discontent taken by him against him. When I came to his house near the public Schools, he sent for me up into a chamber, where I found him sitting in a ehair with his legs upon 40 a table that stood by him. He neither stirred his hat nor body, but only took me by the hand, and instantly fell into discourse (after a word or two of course had passed between us) touching matters of learning and criticisms. He was of personage big and tall, long-faced and ruddy-coloured, and his eyes very lively, although I took him to 45 In; at that time at least seventy yeais old.' Jo. Taylor, (Li/sias, Lond.

The ostensible ground was (by Stat. c. 8 de senes- colli officio) arrears with the steward. But other charges are: 'Preach- ing at St. Maries, he so comtnetided voluntarie povertie, as that D. Fulk in the same place confuted him very shortly after about the same point being a popish position. He inveighed in open disputations 45 against Calvinists as against schismatikes ;' and had the reputation of being a papist, and consorting with known papists. His manners too made him a bad neighbour. ' He doth use to blow an home often tn the colledge on the day time, and hollow after it. He is scandalous GOO EVERARD DIGBYS FREAKS. to the colledge by a publike challenge in the bills, set up in diverse places ; being flatly forbidden to meddle in the matter. He threatened openly to set the president in the stocks, in the hearing of the schollers, then when in the maysters absence he supplied bis roome. He openly cried out against the president at the same time, in the hearing of all 5 the company in the hall, these words, and in this order, and like one in a rage beating the table with his hands, repeated them often ; Qui non distinguit, artem destruit quam tu non hdbes, Palmere, dialecticam. He called openly to the schollers standing round about the fire, and spake thus of the president (being then also in the roome of the may- i o ster) because he was not mooved with his great words, viz. My maisters, mark this man, he hath an Italian trick ; he will counterfayt a laughter when he is most angry''. Whitgift and Burghley (6 Apr.) ordered Digby's restitution (Strype's Whitgift, bk. III. Records n. 37) which Whitaker (13 Apr. 1588) protests against, 'considering how 15 unprofitable a member he was in the college, having also a benefice abroad, and never almost comyng at it.' He writes again (1 June 1588) to Burghley, deprecating his displeasure, and referring the who'e case to him. See Heywood and Wright, Cambr. Univ. Trans. I. 506 5 2 3> 53 2 > 533- There is a curious notice on p. 517: 'Though the 20 custome [that the steward should go to the seniors' chambers for money] were laudable then when the manceps, a servant, had the stew- ards office, yet now not to be urged of absolute necessitie, when bache- lours in divinitie, doctors of physicke, law and divinitie, and the president himself, may have that office.' 25 Shortly after several papers were drawn up, shewing that the college was not at peace (Registry Y. Joh. 13; MS. Baker xxvn. 76 94). 'The petitions, reasons and reformations of many statuts, ex- hibited . . to the commissioners Sept. 1588/ which as Baker notes ' having been drawn in Dr. Whitaker 's time, and probably by himself, 30 or by his direction, give a true account of the state of the college at that time.'

' The master's answere to our petitions and reasons.' 3 c 'A satisfaction to our master his doubtes concerning our petition.' There is also a determination by Whitgift, Ric. Cosin and W.

Hist., ed. Brewer, v. 150, 151, 152. Thos. Stone, parson of Wark- 2 ton, confessed to a meeting in St John's college, about Stourbridge fair time was one or two years [written in 1591]: the thing debated was the perfecting of the Book of Discipline and purpose to subscribe it at Cambridge; the persons present, Chatterton and others of Cam- bridge, Cartwright, Gifford, Allen, Snape, Fludd, Stone himself (ibid. 25 pp. 163 165) ; to these Fuller adds from Bancroft Win. Perkins and Tho. Harrison (p. 160). The fullest account of these meetings is in Strype's Whitgift bk. iv. See Records n. 9 p. 160: Tho. Stone ' confesseth a meeting of Mr Cartwright, Mr. [Edm.] Snape and others at Cambridg about one 3 or two years past ; where the treatis of disciplin was perfited and a voluntary subscription thereto agreed on.' Tho. Barber adds that they conferred 'also about a method in preaching; and whether unpreach- ing ministers be ministers or not ; and the sacraments be to be re- ceived of them.' Wm. Perkins confesses (p. 161) to the meeting about 35 the discipline in St John's. On the 20 Oet. 1590 the v. c. and 6 heads wrote to Burghley, stating that Whitaker denied ' a presbiterie to be exercised in ' the coll., ' movinge and desiringe to have all the societie of the fellowes of that college examined upon their othes concerninge their knowledge therin.' The same day 34 fellows including Alvey 4 offer to take oath 'that we doe not know that there is amongst any of our sayd colledge, any such presbyterie as hath bene reported.' On 24 Oct. 1590 Whitaker writes to Lord Burghley from dean Nowell's house ; those who have complained of him, seeing that he is resolved to come up concerning his defense, and fearing that the charge respecting 45 a presbytery will be disproved, heap up frivolous charges. 'And although I partlie forsee the inconvenience of a new visitacion, whiche is the only thing that they shoot at, yet I feare not any course of justice whatsoever. . . I am charged that I lay at my brothers Chadertons the night before I came up. Indeed, the truthe is, I lay in the CO college, as I ever doe; but this was onelie a sleight to bring in some GO 2 WM. WHITAKER. JO. BOIS. mention of my brother, whom they hate as much as mee' (Hey wood and Wright, Cambr. Univ. Trans, n. 13 16). On the 5th Nov. 15Q0 Jo. Palmer writes to lord Burghley, confessing that he owes to him his fellowship, a dispensation in diverting his studies from civil law to divinity, and a recommendation for the oratorship. Confesses that he 5 heard of the presbytery from Dan. Munsey the president and told one senior only. Yet though the author of the slander is known, Palmer is threatened with deprivation for publishing it (ibid. 17 19). On 27 Febr. 159s Whitaker joined with Rog. Goade, Edm. Barwell, Laur. Chaderton, in recommending to mercy 'diverse of the trew freindes IO and lovers of the gospell,' who had 'tasted in some sort of more harde Beveritie then many knowen papistes ' (ibid. pp. 30 32).

I thinke I am not without some bothe enemies and back-frendes ; but that such a thinge should to such, and in such a place bee reported of mee, being soe utterly untrue, . .

Tuckney (Halter's preface to Eight Letters of Ant. Tuckney and Benj. Whichcote, 1753, p. xv.) : 'In his elections at St. John's, when the President, according to the Cant of the times, wou'd call upon him to have regard to the Godly ; the 25 Master answer'd, No one should have a greater regard to the truely Godly, than himself; but he was determined to choose none but Scholars: adding, very wisely; They may deceive me, in their Godliness; they can not, in their Scholarship.

The queen has been moved to help her by the earl of Essex 'who hearing D. Whytaker's good and godly instruction 30 in Cambrige in the tyme of his youth, was his honorable and verie good Lord all his lyfe tyme'. Asks for 'some little Lease' from the queen. It is pleasant to find that the college granted Mrs Whitaker a lease. See p. 44 1 1. 24. There is a life of Whitaker by Gataker in Fuller's Abel Redivivus. ' There is an elegy on him by Mr Jos.

That in his colledge he did most tyrannically usurp con- formity, and did exult in a most majesteriall way, commanding the deanes of the said colledge to execute the inflictions of severe punish- ments on all those who would not observe conformity; as to bow very low at the comming in at the chappel to the communion table, and 25 likewise at their going out thereof, without any exception both of the fellowes, schollers, and students of the said colledge. 6. That because those papistical! innovations did oppose the pious consciences of some which would not observe them, there were foure expelled upon the non-performance thereof. 7.

Laud gave great offence by requiring communion tables to be set 'altar-wise' and to be railed in; see D'Ewes' account of Matt. Wren's first visitation 29 31 Mar. 1636 {Autobiogr. 11. 141, 142): ' whereas to avoid idolatry ... at the ...reformation ... the altars were removed; now the communion tables were removed out of 1 5 the middle of the chancels, and ordered to be set up close to the east wall, ... where the ground was to be raised and the table to be railed in.' Many puritan ministers were involved in trouble by such scruples as D'Ewes here expresses ; see the index to Laud's Works s. v. Communion-Tables. When the popular party prevailed, 20 'setting up an altar,' 'altar worship' 'east worship,' 'railing in the altar,' are often mixed up in the articles against them with grave moral offences, as though the two classes of crimes were equally heinous e. g. Dr Cheney Rowe of Trinity coll., was a drunkard and non-resident and prevented the removal of the altar steps and rails in St Mary's (see this 25 and other examples, MSS. Baker xxvu. 441 458 ; Walker's Sufferings, passim).

The half-pace at the upper end ... was all covered with tapestry. And upon that half-pace stood the communion table (not altar-wise, as reported) with a rich carpet hanging very large upon the half-pace; and some plate, as a chalice and candlesticks with 45 wax candlea ... I asked ... what use they made of so many tapers J He [N. F.J said, to give them light, when they could not see without them.'' BOWING TO THE ALTAR. VOX PISCIS. C31 The principal promoter of ceremonial worship in Cambridge was Jo. Cosin, see index to Laud's Works, under Cosin. In Laud's Works, IV. 223, Jo. Wallis, Nic. le Greise, and Lazarus Seaman testify against Laud: 'That at Peterhouse there were copes and candlesticks, and 5 pictures in the glass windows.' In this history, pp. 507 1. 26 seq., 509 1. 1 seq., 511 1. 19 seq., we see hp. Morton's 'little bachelor Loe,' a man of great promise, under a cloud because he had scruples against bowing to the altar (See Lires of N. Ferrar, xxxiv. 29, 77, 329 ; index to Laud, 8. v. Bowing). In 1632 Nat. Barnard of Eman. was tried in the IO university consistory court for saying in a sermon at St Mary's, 6 May 1632, among other things: 'those Cassanders among us ... that hold a possibility of salvation in the church of Rome, and so dishearten many weak ones among us ; and those that set up crucifixes and altars now a dayes, contrary the law establisht and in force; and those that bow 15 down toward the altar, which, to speak plain English, ...do worship the altar, and are flat idolaters' (Hey wood and Wright 11. 394 ; cf. 397, 43)- Dr Beale, says D'Ewes Autobiogr. 11. 112, 'caused such a general adoration to and towards the altar and sacraments to be practised, that 20 many godly fellows and scholars of the house left their places to avoid the abomination ; so as to them this necessary exilement was a real persecution.' In the debate on the Remonstrance, 22 Nov. 1641, Jo. Pym said (Verney's Notes of the Long Parliament, Camd.

Dr John Barwick's Life pp. 2217 : ' Mr- Barwick resolved not to perform his Duty by Halves. And first in concert with the most con- siderable of the King's Friends in the University, he took Care, for his Majesty's Support, to transmit to him what little Money could be raised in the several Colleges, out of their moderate Incomes, and what 5 Plate had been at any Time bestowed upon them for the Use of each Society by the Bounty of their Benefactors. But this could not be effected without first outwitting Cromwell, who had been appriz'd of their Design by some of the Townsmen of Cambridge (by whose Interest he had been chosen Member of Parliament for that Town) and 1 o with a disorderly Band of Peasants on Foot, lay in wait for the rich Booty at a Place called Lowler Hedges, betwixt Cambridge and Huntington. But Mr Baruiek and some other select Persons of the University, to whose Care and Prudence the Management of this important Affair was committed, having got Intelligence of CromwelVs 1 5 Way-laying them, send away the Royal Supply through By-Roads, convoy'd by a small Party of Horse, that very Night in which Crom- well with his Foot beset the common Road, or else the Spoil had the next Morning certainly fallen into the Enemy's Hands. He that was made choice of to conduct this Expedition, was the Reverend Mr. 20 Barnaby Oley, a Man of great Prudence, and very well acquainted with all the By- Ways, through which they were to pass. He was President of Clare-Hall ; and none more proper to be the Messenger of the Uni- versity's Duty and Affection to their most gracious Sovereign and dearest Country: For I question whether Cambridge ever bred a 25 Person of more Learning, accompanied with so great Modesty and such an exemplary Holiness of Life. Under the Protection of God's good Providence he arrived safe at Nottingham, where he had the Honour to lay at his Majesty's Feet this small Testimony and Earnest of the University's Loyalty at that very Time, when the Royal Standard 30 was set up in the Castle there.' In the notes (Hid. 22 25) Bedford has printed from Baker's tran- script of the originals in the treasury the following papers : 'July 2 d , 1642.

Beale's sermons in lord Clarendon 's library ; Dr. Tho. Smith to Tho. Baker, Lond. 7 Jan. 170^ (Europ. Mag. Nov. 1797 20 pp- 293, 294): 'I have lately enquired of my Lord Clarendon, as I have done formerly to gratify my owne curiosity, whether he knowes any thing of Dr. Beale Deane, I think of Ely, who dyed in his father's house at Madrid. He was pleased to continue to me what he had told me some years since, that he had no personal knowledge of the 2 e Deane, he being then a youth of about 10 or 11 years of age, and was left in Holland with his mother during his father's ambassy in Spayne ; but that afterwards he had received particular account of the Deane 's death from those who were then present: as that about 3 or 4 hours before his death, when the decayes of nature made him more and more 40 apprehensive that he had not long to live, he desired my Lord his Father, and some other to receive the H. Sacrament with him, which he in perfect good understanding, tho weake in body, being supported in his bed, consecrated and administered to himself, and to the other few communicante. He was in this his last sicknes very solicitous 45 least his body should fall into the hands of the Inquisition, which to prevent, he proposed to them to burne his dead body. But after his death, this expedient was used, that the Deane dying in a ground 42 636 WM. BEALE. chamber, they, taking up the bords, dug a deep grave, and covering him with a shroud, they threw four or five bushels of quick lime over it, in order to consume it the sooner. Every thing afterward in the roome was set right as before the good Doctor's death and buryall, and the whole affaire kept secret among a few trusty persons, without any 5 the least knowledge or suspicion of the Spaniards. Upon enquiry what papers this excellent man left behind him, my Lord told me, only some few Sermons, which he thinks may be somewhere in his library at Cornebury. But I put an end to your trouble, and am with true and unfeigned respect, Sir, Your most humble Servt. THO. SMITH '. I o Same to same, 23 Jan. 170^ (ibid. Dec. pp. 364, 365) : 'I have de- ferred to answer your letter, it may be longer than I ought to have done, but it was only in order to your better satisfaction in another particular, relating to that excellent person Dr Beale. ' Soon after the receipt of your letter I acquainted the Earle of Claren- 1 5 don with your good wishes, not to say requests, that those few sermons of the good and worthy Doctor which are in his library at Cornebury, might be in the Colleye hands, of which he was Master : his Lordship was pleased to assure me, that as soon as he could light upon them he would give them to me to convey to you. But when his great busines 20 which keeps him here will permit him to go into the country, it is very uncertain : however I will not faile, at due and convenient intervalls, to put him in mind of his promise. ' Hearing from him that my Lord his Father had made mention of the Doctor in some MSS. papers now in his possession, he did me the 25 favour to send me part of them on Sunday last, to transcribe what I thought fit and proper for this purpose. I will let you into the secret : That excellent wise and truly pious Lord in his double banishment, among other vast heapes of his compositions, of which his incompara- ble History lately published is but a part, wrote Contemplations and 3 Reflexions on the Book of Psahnes, which he began at Jersey 26 Dec. 1647 ; which good and great worke he was forced to lay aside through the multiplicity of buseines that continualy passed through his hands, and did not, and indeed could not, to his great sorrow and trouble of mind, resume till after his second proscription. When his other 35 studye, and his freedome from sicknes and paine of the gout, would suffer him, he finished it at Montpelier in the latter end of the yeare also: before which he has prefixed an Epistolar Addresse, if I may so call it, or Dedication tv his children, giving an account of his whole performance, in which he has given also a full proofe and demon- 40 stration, that he was as eminent for his exalted and wise piety and devotion, for his wise and profound actione of religion and theology, and for his practices of all Christian graces and virtues, as for his admirable knowledge in affaires of civil prudence, and in matter of state and government. In this epistle, dated 18-28 February, I find the 45 following words, wherein ho gives a great character of the good Doctor. 1 "And in one respect I had much more reason to dedicate a select part of my time to Home pious recollections by one unhappy circumstance which accoinpariyes this my second banishment, which I did not sus- 50 WM. BE ALE. G37 taine on my former, when I was never without the daily exercise of my religion in a congregation of the same faith, performed by some learned Divine of the Church of England ; as during the time of my Ambassy in Spaine, I had a worthy and learned Chaplaine, and he dyed a little 5 before I came from thence, who both preached, and prayed, and ad- min istred the sacrament to my family, according to the ordinances of that Church". ' When the present noble Earle did me the honour and favour, several years since, to shew me this excellent manuscript, after a carefull IO inspection and reading several parts of the divine meditations, I was then fully satisfyed and convinced, and am still more and more, that no book, written by whomsoever, can conduce more to the advance- ment, or indeed retrieving of godlines and virtue, which, generally speaking, seeme to be quite lost in this corrupt and wicked age : and 15 I hope my Lord will at last be prevayled upon to make it public for the common good. I give you many thankes for that part of Dr. Cosins letter to Mr. Gunning, written in 1657 from Paris, which you thought fit to transcribe. I wish that it had been entire. If you have any more of Bp.

See also p. 370: 'I began to exercise my self in these Medi- tations in the time of a former Banishment, when to the Publick 40 Calamities with which the King and the Kingdom was afflicted ; and to my own Particular, my forced Absence for so many Years from your Dear Mother, and from you, the Nature of the Employment I had from the King, and the Scene upon which that Employment was to be acted, added very much to the Melancholique of the Con- 45 dition I was in ; being then an Ambassador in a proud Court (as that cf Spain will always be), to sollicit the Cause of all Kings, when no other King could be prevailed with to think himself concerned in what as great a Monarch as any of themselves, and as unlike to have been reduced to that Extremity, had so lately suffered before their Eyes ; in 422 G38 ARROWSMITH.

Every Day administered such matter of mortification to me (though towards my own Person they were civil enough) that I quickly discerned, that what I laboured and longed for, could not come to pass by any Hand that held a Sceptre upon Earth ; that He only 1 5 who could pull down all other Kings, and bring Desolation upon all other Nations, could raise the low and miserable Estate of my King and Country ; and I must confess the frequent reading of the Psalms of David gave me great Hopes He would do it.'

Angier, Lond. 1685. i2 mo , 5 p. 9 ; cf. 13, 75). At the beginning of the long parliament he was elected clerk of convocation for Lincoln diocese with Herbert Palmer (Sam. Clarke's Lives, 1677, l 9 2 )- Dr Tho. Hill 'was married to her [Mary Willford, governess to lady Frances Rich, dau. to Rob. earl of of Warwick], who since his death was re-married to the Reverend, IO Learned and Pious Dr Tuckney... my much honoured Friend, so that she hath been made happy in the enjoyment of two such husbands, as few women in our times have attained to' (ibid. 231) ; who said 'con- sidering her husband's studies and business, she thought it was one chief part of her work to make him merry ; and she had a very fine 1 5 way of doing it' (Newcome's Autobiog. 123). He endeavoured to save Sancroft from ejection (D'Oyly, ed. 2, 37). He was one of the triers (Hanbury's Memorials Hi. 422). Rob. Baillie desired his advice (27 Aug. 1656) about the composition of a course of philosophy, to supersede the Jesuit books in use (Baillie's Letters and Journals in. 310). 20 Jos. Moore was educated at St John's under 'holy Dr Tuckney' (Calamy Ace. 179). John Hanrner was admitted by him 5 July 1659, and 'he recommended him to Mr Wood a very honest man as his Tutor' (Calamy Cont. 398, the whole passage speaks for the good disci- pline then maintained in the college). Bp. Milles (Life of Is. Milles, 25 Lond. 1 72 1. 8vo. pp. 19, 20) names among 'great and good Men of the University..., whom I have heard Mr Milles mention with the highest Veneration, ... and who were never mention'd without honour at that time,' Tuckney, Gunning and Turner, 'Men of great Learning, Piety, and the most unspotted Integrity of Life and Conversation : excepting 30 only that in Dr. Tuckney, the Narrowness and Sowernesa, as well as Falsehood and Absurdity, of his Calvinistical Opinions tarnished and vilified his otherwise excellent Abilities and Qualifications.' This char- acter is fully confirmed by the correspondence (Sept. Nov. 165 1) be- tween Tuckney and his former pupil Benj. Whichcote v.c, in which 35 Tuckney argues against the libertas prophetandi inculcated by Whichcote (printed by Sam. Salter at the end of Whichcote's Aphorisms. Lond. 1753. 8vo). W T hichcote says (pp. 6 seq.) ; 'I have had you all along in very high esteem ; and have borne you reverence, beyond what you do or can imagine ; having in me a living and quick sense of my first re- 40 lation to yuu : and, of all men alive, I have least affected to differ from You ; or to call in question either what You have done or said or thought : but your judgement I have regarded with reverence and re- ppect. I do not, I cannot, forgett my four first yeares' education in the Uriivemity under you ; and I think I have principles by me, I then 45 received from You.' The difference between the disputants appears in tli.^ir judgement of the great heathen : Whichcote confessing (60, 61)": 'The time I have spent in Philosophers, I have no cause to repent-of ; and the use I have made of them, I dare not disowne : I heartily thank God, for what I have found in them ; neyther have I, upon this occa- 5 ANT. TUCKNEY. 643 sion, one jot less loved the scriptures. I find the philosophers that I have read, good, so farre as they go: and it makes me secrettlie blush before God, when I find eyther my head heart or life challenged by them :...I never found them enemies to the faith of the gospel.' Tuckney 5 on the other hand asserts (92) : ' the Scripture scarce anie where speaks particularlie of the Philosophers and wise men of the Heathens with approbation and honour ; but generallie with dislike and contempt.' Salter's preface, i. xvi., gives several additional particulars of Tuck- ney's life and character. In the fire of London 'Dr Tuckney's library 10 in Scriveners' Hall was burnt ' (Worthington's Diary n. 1. 211). He is called ' the famous ' (Cotton Mather's Life of Jo. Davenport, 24). To him, with Hill and Arrowsmith, Gataker dedicates his Antoninus. When Jo. Cromwell ' long'd to be at Work in the LORD'S Vineyard ' Tuckney sensibly ' advis'd him to a longer Continuance in the College ' l S (Calaniy Cont. 690). See a notice of a sermon of his at St Mary's in Sam. Clarke's Lives (1683), 191 ; a sermon by him 1653 on Fras. Ash, a benefactor to Emm. coll. (MS. Baker VI. 92 =B 101).

Bullingham sen. dean and 23 fellows petitioned the king. The government of the coll. has lately become notoriously remiss, on ij account of Tuckney's withdrawing himself from the chapel, which he never did before the introduction of Common Prayer, and his entire neglect of everything relating to public worship, so that any show of worship is stolen in by others. Referred to the bps. of Durham, Ely and Sarum (Calend. St. Pap. 216, 510). On 22 Dec. 1662 Jo. 20 Barwick writes to bp. Sheldon asking for a dispensation for Ra. Han- cock to be fell, of Emm. St John's would not have let him go to another coll. , but for the mandates ; he was one of Dr Tuckney's reprobates at an election in 1657 (ibid. 598, 599). In consequence of a petition from Tho.

' These were Dr Cave, who was of St John's 45 College, whose Skill and Knowledge in the Antiquities and History of the Church, have render'd him famous all over the Christian World. This great Man, Mr Milles used to say, did not at all promise, while 646 BEVERIDGE. STILLING FLEET. GOWER. he liv'd at Cambridge, to be that Man he afterwards proved, and made himself plainly appear to be : He was then looked upon as one of the idle and negligent ones, and seemed to live without much Thought or Reflexion. But all this wore off when he came out into the World ; and then he sufficiently recovered, by his close and diligent Application 5 to Study, the time he seem'd to have lost in the University. ' The next Person Mr Milles was pleased to boast of, as a St John's College-man, was the learned Dr Beveridge, who, Mr Milles used often to say, was, from his first Accession to the University, one of the most sober, mortified, studious young Men he had ever known. He was 10 never, or very rarely, seen in those Places of Diversion, where other young Scholars used very innocently to pass away their Time; but generally spent those Hours, either at a Bookseller's Shop, in useful Conversation, or in his Chamber at his Study. But then he did never absent himself from any of the Duty or Exercises of the House, but 15 was a constant and diligent Attender upon and Auditor of them. He went into the World very soon, and how famous he grew in the Church afterwards, and how well he deserved the exalted Station to which he was at last advanced, his most learned and pious Works do make abundantly manifest. 20 ' That profound Divine and most learned Scholar, Bishop Stillingjleet, was another Person, in whom Mr MiUes used to triumph, when he had a mind to exalt the Credit of the University of Cambridge, and to praise the illustrious Men of St John's College. This Gentleman, Mr Milles used to say, was placed when he first came to the University, 25 under the Direction of his elder Brother, Mr Stillingjleet, Fellow of the College, a very grave and good Man, and esteemed a very excellent Scholar. He was said to have taken a great deal of Care of, and to have carried a very strict Hand over his Brother, during the whole time of his being in the University. But notwithstanding this, Mr 30 Stillingjleet, whilst he continued in St John's College, was not remark- able for any thing, but the Brightness and Pregnancy of his Parts ; nor was it expected by any one, that he would ever have shined forth with so great Lustre, as he afterwards did. He had not been very long made Fellow of St John's before he left the College ; and being made Minister 35 of an obscure Parish in Bedfordshire, apply 'd himself there with so great Diligence to his Studies, as to lay the Foundation of that great Learning, by which he was afterwards so useful to the Church. 'Another Person Mr Milles used to mention, was Dr Humphrey Gower, afterward the worthy Master of St John's College. This Gentle- 40 man was pretty near of the same Standing, I believe of the same Year, with Mr Milles. He was a most clean and comely Youth, and look'd on as one of the best Scholars of his Year. Mr Milles and he happened to be under the same Tutors, who used to propose Gower to all the rest, as a Pattern. His Exercises were always commended, and some- 45 times shewn about, and in their Disputations in their Tutors Chambers, as the Custom then was, he used to be styled Eruditus J uveitis. This Applause and Commendation, or the natural bent of his Temper, or perhaps, both together, created in this young Man, as Mr Milks used PETER GUNNING. 647 to say, such a Pride and Stateliness of Deportment, as render'd him very distastful to and hated by all, as well as despis'd by some of his Contemporaries. He was, however, afterwards advanced to the Go- vernment of the College of St John's, and is said to have been one of 5 the best Governours the College ever had.' {Life of Is.

Humphry Gower's Discourse (as below), 18: 'In the very worst of Times, when the Rebellion was rampant, and the bloody Usurper had kilVd and taken possession, then did our Elijah, even in Samaria, in the Rebels Metropolis, in spite of all their menaces and 35 malice, couragiously stand up, and in words assert, and in practice perform his duty to God and to the Church: And to him gladly flock'd Loyal multitudes of Religious and true hearted people, to celebrate those Holy Offices (to which they were by Law obliged) in private houses, when by armed violence they were forced out and 40 driven from the Churcfies'. p. 19: 'his meeting at Exeter-house a true Congregation of the Church of England.' p. 20 : ' Once He was seiz'd whilst He was in these Holy Exercises, and by special Order carried before the Usurper himself : who expostulated with him as Ahab did with Elijah, as a troubler of Israel: But then so affectionately and 45 solidly did the Apostolical man, like St Paul before Felix, reason of those things, for which He was call'd in question; that, whether the PETER GUNNING OFFICIATES 1657-9. 649 wretch that heard him, had sence enough left to make him tremble or no ; certainly, he was not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake; but, having vouchsafd to bestow some few good words on the Church-Prayers, sent away the Good man, without using 5 any further violence, at the present.' pp. 50, 5 1 : ' His very enemies could not but acknowledge the uprightness of his conversation even when He stood before a Committee of them, impeach 'd and arraign'd for his Loyalty and Religion. They could find no occasion, tho' diligently sought for, against him, except in that which concern'd the 10 Law of his God. They granted He was a man of Good Life ; but that, they said, made him the more dangerous, for that such men did all the mischief ... When they could not censure his practice, they would needs question his Sermons; nay, rather then fail, pick quarrels with his very Texts; as they did with his choice of one that, it seems, had 1 5 too much Loyalty in it for their purpose ; and that was some of the first Verses of the thirteenth Chapter to the Romans; to which their Venerable Prisoner appositely replied, that He was come prepared to justifie his Sermon, but did not expect to be call'd upon to answer for his Text: But it seems, in the afternoon, He had chosen a more inno- 20 cent piece of Scripture for the subject of his Discourse, and that was the Benediction of the Peacemakers : Blessed are lite Peacemakers. But when it was alledged by his accusers, that He had observ'd that Leagite-makers were not Peacemakers, this Text could no more excuse his Sermon then the other Sermon his Text.'' 2 5 The following extracts from Evelyn confirm Gower's account. On 3 Dec. 1657 'Mr Gunning preached on John iii. 3, against the Ana- baptists, shewing the effect and necessity of the sacrament of baptism. This sect was now wonderfully spread.' 25 Dec. 1657, 'I went to London with my wife, to celebrate Christmas-day, Mr. Gunning preaching in 3 Exeter chapel, on Micah vii. 1. Sermon ended, as he was giving us the Holy Sacrament, the chapel was surrounded with soldiers, and all the communicants and assembly surprised and kept prisoners by them, some in the house, others carried away. It fell to 1113' share to be con- fined to a room in the house, where yet I was permitted to dine with 35 the master of it, the Countess of Dorset, Lady Hatton, and some others of quality who invited me. In the afternoon, came Colonel Whalley, Goffe and others, from Whitehall, to examine us one by one ; some they committed to the Marshal, some to prison. When I came before them, they took my name and abode, examined me why, 40 contrary to the ordinance made, that none should any longer observe the superstitious time of the Nativity (so esteemed by them), I durst offend, and particularly be at Common Prayers, which they told me was but the mass in English, and particularly pray for Charles Stuart ; for which we had no Scripture. I told them we did not pray for 4 c Charles Stuart, but for all Christian Kings, Princes, and Governors. They replied, in so doing we prayed for the King of Spain too, who was their enemy and a Papist, with other frivolous and ensnaring questions and much threatening ; and finding no colour to detain me, they dismissed me with much pity of my ignorance. These were men 50 of high flight and above ordinances, and spake Bpiteful things of our 650 PETER GUNNING. Lord's Nativity. As we went up to receive the Sacrament, the mis- creants held their muskets against us, as if they would have shot us at the altar, but yet suffering us to finish the office of Communion, as perhaps not having instructions what to do, in case they found us in . that action.' 7 Mar. 165^ 'In the afternoon Dr Gunning, at Exeter 5 House, expounding part of the Creed'. 18 Nov. 1659 'Mr Gunning celebrated the wonted Fast, and preached on Phil. ii. 12, 13'. 9 Dec. 1659 'I supped with Mr Gunning, it being our fast-day'. 1 Jan. i6| ' I went to Exeter Chapel, when Mr Gunning began the year on Galatians iv. 3 7, shewing the love of Christ in shedding His blood so jq early for us'. 23 Febr. 167J Bp.

A Counsellor in the Commission, who us'd to give the Charge, desir'd the Bishop to do it; but he refus'd, and took the offer for an Affront. The Bishop thought himself sure of Sir T. N's assistance, 45 who had over-acted himself before. But he plainly told him, that he found that they that would have good Neighbours, must be such them- selves.' gunning's disputes with sectaries. 651 See also in the life of John Corhet (ibid. 333 335) : 'At the Time of his being there, Bishop Gunning out of his abun- dant Zeal, made a publick Challenge to the Presbyterians and In- dependents, the Anabaptists and the Quakers, and appointed Three 5 Days for the Disputation : The first Day for the Two former, and the other Two Days for the Two latter. On the first of the appointed Days, a considerable Congregation being present in the Church, and Mr Corbet and others ready to make Defence, the Bishop came and took the Pulpit, having an heap of Books about him, and from his IO Fort fir'd very fiercely, his whole Harrangue being full of sharp In- vectives. Schism and Rebellion were the Ball he shot, and that poison'd with the strongest Venom ; forgetting that a Bishop should be no Brawler. Mr Corbet who was known to have a great Command of himself, earnestly, but modestly offer 'd to interpose by Way of Defence, 15 but the Bishop would hear little, and told him he should answer by Writing, and take another Time and Place. Mr Corbet desir'd, as that which was most reasonable, that their Defence should be in the same Time, Place and Publickness with the Bishop's Crimination. When the Bishop would hear nothing, Mr Corbet turning to the Mayor 20 and hi3 Brethren present, desir'd that they would be pleas'd to assign some convenient Time and Place, for the hearing of his Vindication : But they declin'd it. When the Anabaptists Day came, the Bishop and they agreed so well about Free-Will &c, that he treated them w ith greater Civility ; as if he could in some measure forgive them wdierein 25 they differ'd, for the sake of those darling Points in which they agreed. Or it may be the Bishop was the cooler now, for the Heat he had let out the Day before. The Quakers Day being the last of the Three, they had time to summon in their Friends from all Quar- ters, and several came from Hampshire and Surrey, as well as the 30 remote Parts of Sussex. When the Bishop fell to Railing, they paid him in his own Coin, nay, and with Interest too. And when the Bishop in some Surprize, left the Pulpit and Church, some of them follow'd him Home, and one as he pass'd along, pluck*d him by the Sleeve, saying, the Hireling jfyeth, the Hireling flyeth. After this, 35 Mr Corbet drew up his Defence in Writing, and taking with him some substantial Citizens, went to the Bishop's Palace to make a Tender of it to the Bishop, who refus'd to receive it. Mr Corbet pray'd him to read it ; which when he refus'd, he began to read it himself, but neither would that be born. The Bishop urg'd him to write now, 40 offering him Pen, Ink and Paper. Mr Corbet reply'd, That that was needless, for he had written already at his own Home, where he could be more compos'd, that which he now tendered. The Bishop persist- ing in the Refusal, Mr Corbet finally told him, since nothing else would do, he must take some other Method for his Vindication ; intimating 45 he would use the Press. When Mr C. retum'd, the Bishop follow'd him to his Palace-Gate with bitter railing, forgetting again that a Bishop should not soon be angry. Mr Corbet under all express'd the greatest Temper and Meekness, returning good Wishes and Words for very ill.' 43 G32 gunning's devotion. P. 236 1. 31. Ely.

For John Creed, Bookseller there, 1685. 4to. pp. 6, 66 ; and a Latin inscription by Rob. Jenkin pp. 4. See pp. 4, 5 : 'He liv'd and dy'd the great Instance and Example of his age of extraordinary 20 natural Endowments most wonderfully iinprov'd, vast Learning grac'd with the greatest Modesty, incomparable worth and profound Humility. In him hath the Church lost one of the most perfect patterns of a Christian Bishop that She ever had : Furnish'd he was with all the Gifts and Graces, that are requisite to make a man most amiable and 25 usefull. His unfeigned and exemplary piety, devout and holy Life, his searching and comprehensive understanding, lively and quick apprehension, ready and retentive memory, His solid judgement, un- wearied industry, and, an effect of these, His accurate and almost Universal Knowledge, especially in... the Doctrine of the Holy Scriptures 30 and the whole sacred Text, ... render'd him the wonder and delight of all that knew him', p. 12: 'the holy Man ... humbly pray'd for his departure, in my hearing (as I kneeled by him), tho', as I have reason to believe, against his will, as well as without his knowledge : For he seem'd to mind nothing but his God, his eyes then shut, and his words ?c whisper'd; tho' both before and after he spoke strongly and aloud', p. 16: 'nothing deserv'd and procur'd him a greater veneration and awe from all that knew him, then the unblemished sanctity of his life, his zeal for God and our most Holy Religion, and his own steddy, uniform, and exemplary o'jcdience to those Evangelical precepts, which 40 he so faithfully preached', p. 29: 'Twice a day, most duly, besides Lis family Prayers, he offer'd up to Heaven, either in the Publick Congregation, or (when his health could not allow that) more privately, his daily Homage and Sacrifice of Morning and Evening Prayer and Thanksgiving, according to tho Prescript of the Church of England. 45 He that had so throughly studied and did so perfectly understand the Beauties and Excellencies of the English Liturgy, and so frequently and affectionately recommended the conscientious and devout use of it HIS INDUSTRY. G53 to all, both Clergy and others; ... He, I sa}', ... could not allow him- self in the least neglect of it I need not tell this Congregation, I am sure, how Solemn and Reverend his approaches were to this Sacred place, how Holy and Saint-like his behaviour here', pp. 36, 37: 'You 5 saw with wonder, and perhaps, not without pity, how unmercifull He was to his own body, that He might be profitable to your souls, by his indefatigable labours in Preaching and in Catechising... He was never weary of doing Good ; and tho' his body, unable to keep pace with the zeal and eagerness of his mind, languish'd and fainted in the service; 1 o yet could He never be perswaded in his age and weakness to abate any thing of the toils and hardships of his younger and stronger days', pp. 38 40: 'His Industry from his very Youth was extraordinary and beyond Example ; for the supporting of which God had provided him a strong body, and a firm health, which lasted him many years ; arid, as 1 5 his Physicians and Friends thought, might have held out much longer could He have been perswaded to have remitted somewhat of his con- tinual pains and severities to himself. But He was not convine'd by such their carefull and affectionate remonstrances for his health... He found such delight in preparing his thoughts for the publick, and so 20 much pleasure after the performance, that He had no leisure to observe how greatly his body had suffer'd and paid for that satisfaction of his mind... He was well when he was thus employed, as He thought and said; Whereas, indeed, too often this was no more but that He was well-pleased. That chearfulness and complacency of mind, which is 2 5 the present natural reward and consequent of a conscientious discharge of duty, ... this Good Bishop I believe, often interpreted as an effect of health, and the natural strength of his own body. ... The weakness and decay, which He felt in himself and could not but acknowledge, He wholly ascrib'd to other causes, but would impute nothing of it to his 30 immoderate pains in Studying and Preaching. But, had He been con- vine'd that those his labours by night and day press'd too hard on his infeebled body and impair'd his health ; I question whether the argu- ment would have prevailed to have made him spare himself, as much as his Friends desir'd. And for this I have reason from what I have 35 heard him say, particularly a day or two before his last sickness, when observing his languishing looks, and being in private with him, I took the boldness to insist more vehemently then ever I had done on this subject ; For He then with some warmth and earnestness told me that He would never be perswaded to indulge his ease to the neglect of any 40 opportunity of doing good, et propter vitam vivendi perdcre causas. He desir'd to live no longer, then whilst he might be serviceable to the Church', pp. 41, 42: 'His house was rarely, without some Foreign Visitant led thither by the far-spread fame of the Renowned Bishop: Scholars from almost all parts of the Christian world, Greeks and 45 Latines, flock'd to him ; whom they found like a true Apostolical Bishop, Given to hospitality and apt to leach. His doors and his purse were open to receive and relieve them that were in want; and his heart and mouth always ready to instruct those that desired to be informed. A great part of his time was spent in explaining and justifying 50 to strangers and others the regular and Catholick constitution of the 432 G54 GUNNING RECLAIMS DISSENTERS. Church of England, and in asserting her Doctrine and Discipline and whole entire frame against the opposition of Her Adversaries, the Romanists, and all other Recusants of various denominations amongst our selves. . . . Many thereby have been confirmed in the Communion of the Church, with whom Bigots of Rome, or other Zealots of the 5 Schism had been dangerously tampering. Several quite spirited away by such Emissaries and Agents He retriev'd and brought back again to their Reason and Religion. Foreigners have parted from him not only fill'd with admiration of his own worth, but also highly satisfied with the excellent Frame and Order of this Church, which had before been 10 ignorantly or maliciously represented to them : And the report which they have accordingly made to their own people at their return home has rebounded back and been brought hither again, to the great praise and honour of this Christian Catholich Church, so happily established in this Land', pp. 51 53: 'Very much pains He took to convince 15 and reclaim Recusants of all sorts: He invited them to frequent con- ferences ; . . answering their arguments, resolving their doubts, remov- ing their scruples, and silencing all their Cavils against the established Doctrine and Discipline of the Church, and this he did oft-times with most happy success But when this w r as done, when to the Laws, 20 and the weighty considerations of publick safety and quiet, common utility and general experience of the mischievous effects of the separa- tion (all which pleaded strongly on his side), I say, when to these He had added his own publick and private endeavours to remove all, if there were any real conscientious scruples and difficulties in the case; 25 He was far from thinking it an Usurpation upon consciences, to remit refractory persons to the Civil power to be proceeded against by legal prosecutions, the likeliest means then remaining, not only to prevent the increase of their numbers, but to bring themselves to Church, and thereby give them opportunity to hear and hearken to further instruo- 30 tions, more attentively and effectually then otherwise they would have done', p. 54: ' If ever that which we call Good nature did abound in any man, it did in him ; but so refin'd, beautified and set off by Religion, that surely it scarce ever shin'd with more lustre and loveliness in any then in our Prelate. Even they that went from him disappointed of 35 their hopes (which none did that had not unreasonably entertain'd them) could never find in their hearts to be displeas'd with him: So much reason did He always give for his denial, such kind pains would He take to satisfie the Petitioner, tho' He could not grant his request, so loath was He to dismiss him from his presence till Ho had scatter'd ao all signs of discontent (if any did arise), from his countenance, That it was evident the Good Prelate was more troubled that He could not give, then the other that he did not receive. The subject of his discourse, as far as Decency and Company would allow, was generally about matters of Religion and Learning. It was his great business to a ; lie doing or receiving good . . He gladly put all that came near him upon discourses of things of which they were most likely and able to pve the best account, which was the most probable way to oblige them and benefit himself.' p. 57: 'By a Religious use of those frequent Communions, which, to his everlasting Praise, this Holy Bishop estab- 50 gunning's charity-. 6o5 lish'd or Practis'd weekly in all places where He liv'd, and which were subject to his Jurisdiction, He had nourish'd and encreas'd in his Bosome a watch full and wary disposition of mind, that kept him per- petually upon his Guard ... Plenty of all tilings flowed round about 5 him, but for the use of others rather then himself. His study and his business was his meat and drink; for of any other He had as little regard and made as little use, as was well possible to flesh and blood. He that had writ so irrefragably for the Fasts of the Church, kept them as rigidly himself. But that suffic'd him not : He oblig'd him- I O self to so many others, that they who knew not what Excellent Use his mind made of those hours of Abstinence might suspect that so much severity to his body, inclin'd somewhat towards a fault.' pp. 58, 59: ' He seem'd nothing more then a provident and faithful Steward for the publick and the poor . . Let the Scholars He has supported in 15 the University of Cambridge; His severall large Indowments and bountifull Benefactions in that place; Let the crouds of poor fed daily at bis door, and from his Table, the Widdow, the Fatherless and the Stranger, indigent foreigners, distressed Travellers, and the other various objects of Charity publicity fed, cloath'd and relieved, or 20 privately supplied by him with a plentifull hand; Let these, I say, since they are many, speak first ... Then there will be nothing left for me to tell you; but that as he liv'd so he dy\l: "What He had not charitably spent by retail before ; He did so dispose of all together and in the lump, by his last Will and Testament, in which He has taken -5 care that all the remaining part of his Estate shall be laid out for the augmentation of poor Vicaridges ; a Charity as prudent and pious in the kind as bountifull in the measure of it', pp. 60, 61: 'Whilst I waited on him, which I thank God I had the happiness to do, before his sickness had too much ruffled or discompos'd his thoughts, He was 30 frequently putting up ardent Prayers for the Wellfare and Prosperity of the Church: He could not forget to recommend that to the care of Heaven with some of his last breath, which had ever been much dearer to him then his own Life ... When ever the fiercer assaults of his Feavour began to remit, and afford him some intervall of ease, He 35 presently return 'd to the Beloved Subject; and the next words we heard were concerning the Church ... Once particularly, in my hearing, did He make a large and solemn declaration of his devout thanks, which, said He, I render to Almighty God with all the pouers of my mind, and from the depth of my soul, for his most wonderfull Mercy to mankind 40 in his Eternal Son. ... Then again He proceeded to speak of the Church of England, which He did with so much Honour, Reverence and Affection, that not my words nor any otlur but his own are able to express it. Often have I heard him preach, and often dispute, and still oftner Discourse privately in the Justification and Honour of the 45 Reformation, as it was contriv'd and manag'd and now stands by Law Estabhsh'd in these Kingdoms : And this He always did with a fer- vency and zeal worthy of the Excellent and Deserving Subject : But these dying expressions, methought, outdid all that ever He had us'd before. In few words (which I dare not pretend to repeat) He fully 50 express'd his admiration of the Beauty and Soundness of the Church of 056 jenkin's inscription on gunning. England ; and applauded the unvaluable Happiness of the Nation in it, and blessed the goodness of God for it, and own'd it for the un- speakable Comfort of his soul, and his Glory that He had liv'd, and now should die, a member of it'. Jenkin's inscription is pregnant and neat: e.g. ' Vix Nomine magis, quam Zelo Petri similis, Et Sancte (quoad licuit) Aemulus.

Burnet's Own Times, I. 1S1 fol. ed. : (In the Savoy conference) ' Baxter was the opponent, and Gunning was the respondent : ....he was a man of great reading and noted for a 30 special subtilty of arguing; all the arts of sophistry were made use of by him on all occasions, in as confident a manner as if they had been sound reasoning : he was a man of an innocent life, unweariedly active to very little purpose : he was much set on the reconciling us with popery in some points : and because the charge of idolatry seemed 35 a bar to all thoughts of reconciliation with them, he set himself with very great zeal to clear the church of Rome of idolatry : this made many suspect him as inclining to go over to them : but he was far from it, and was a very honest, sincere man, but of no sound judge- ment, and of no prudence in affairs : he was for our conforming in all 40 things to the rules of the primitive church, particularly in praying for the dead, in the use of oil, and in many other rituals; he formed many in Cambridge upon his own notions, who have carried them perhaps farther than he intended.' He opposed the test act 1678 (ibid. 436; Evelyn's Diary 15 Nov. 1678). Burnet says again (ibid. 45 59) ' 'He had a great confusion of things in his head, and could bring nothing into method : so that he was a dark and perplexed preacher. His sermons were full of Greek and Hebrew, and of the opinions of the fathers. Yet many of the ladies of a high form loved to hear him preach : which, the king used to say, was because they did 50 not understand him.' 658 BAXTER ON GUNNING. GUNNING'8 WILL. P. 238 1. 3.

Dr. Pierson was their true Logician and Dis- putant, without whom, as far as I could discern, we should have had nothing from them, but Dr. Gunning's passionate Invectives mixt with some Argumentations... Dr. Gunning was their forwardest and 15 greatest Speaker ; understanding well what belonged to a Disputant ; a Man of greater Study and Industry than any of them, well read in Fathers and Councils ; and of a ready Tongue ; (and I hear and be- lieve of a very temperate Life, as to all Carnal Excesses whatsoever) : but so vehement for his high imposing Principles, and so over- zealous 20 for Arminianism and Formality and Church Pomp, and so very eager and fervent in his Discourse, that I conceive his Prejudice and Passion much perverted his Judgment, and I am sure they made him lament- ably over-run himself in his Discourses.'

Humphr. Gower, I.e. 17: 'He did not forbear to protest publickly against the Faction even when it was most formidable : And in a Sermon preach'd before the University in S l Maries Church in Cambridge, He urged them vehemently and con- 40 vincingly to publish a formal protestation against the Rebellious League. And they to whom he spoke were sufficiently dispos'd to comply and close with so Christian and Loyal an exhortation. For the spirit of Error and Delusion, of Faction and Fury, which had long before broke loose and ravaged far and near, confounding and subverting all Orders ac of men and things, had not been able to poison or corrupt that bright and wholesome Fountain of Learning and Religion, tho' situated in the midst of the enemies quarters, and perpetually surrounded and iufested with boisterous Troops of Rebels. The good Work was there- fore presently begun and eoon finish'd ; But could not be published in 060 gunning's remains, his aspect. the name of the whole Corporation, and consequently not at Cambridge, because one man, who alone could hinder it, would not permit it to be done. But I have not only Charity enough to hope, but sufficient Reason to believe, that He soon repented of the opposition He had made, and became quite of another mind. But however, printed it 5 was, tho' most of the impression was seiz'd at London, before it could get abroad ; And this Renowned Nursery of Learning and Loyalty did not loose the honour of getting the start of her equal Sister, and giving her an excellent pattern and encouragement by so early and laudable an undertaking.' IO P. 239 1. 5. Iicill absolve his trusted that nothing has been published since his death. By his will Gunning directed his two exors. Wm. Saywell and Tobias Henshaw, to sort his papers according to subjects ; then he entreated his tutor Barn. Oley, Fras. Turner, Hen. Gower, Wm. Beveridge and John Saywell to join themselves to the exors. ' as to 15 the care of revising and considering all my writings (my Philological Papers only excepted, being some fruits of my youth) I would humbly beseech them seven together, or any five of them, to whom being together present, I require my Executors then first to open all my papers, to take the care to revise and well consider, if aught there can 20 be judged any ways truly useful for the Public, wherein Religion or Learning may in their judgment be truly advanced, there they will find a laborious silva at least of collections upon most of the Heads of Divinity, together with my annotations and judgments, most what upon the testimonies there collected in Bundles, besides many sermons 25 there produced into treaties, I humbly crave their care and judgment in revising, disposing and digesting for the public use of the Church of God'; his philological papers on Hebr., Gr., Lat., Ital., Fr., to bo burnt, unless Wm. Saywell think any part useful to himself in private (Documents pp. 1 1, 12). By a codicil six overseers were appointed of his 30 papers, Wm. and Jo. Saywell, Turner and Beveridge, Drs.

Bishop Gunning had much learning and true piety ; but his ideas were so confused, and so over subtle, that I cjuld never learn any thing in all the time that ever I conversed with him, and so I did not wait often on him.'

That doubtful- ness and fear which his Venerable Presence, his high Slatim and Quality, together with his great and just Renown did frequently pro- 5 duce in strangers at their first approach, was by the easiness of the access they met with, by his humble and courteous deportment, and all-obliging affability and condescension soon converted into perfect Delight and Love. So sweet and heavenly a temperament there teas in him of Greatness and Goodness, of Meekness and Majesty, of Gravity and I o Courtesie, of every thing, indeed, that is amiable and Reverend ; that it was impossible to know him well and not to Honour and Delight in him.''

History of St. John's College, on Thursday, Aug. 7, 1777, at Milton: containing 40 278 pages of the MS. I have added the arms, as I went along: but left room generally for the impaled coat of the several masters, except Percy's, Day's, and Bp. Gunning's, in which I could not be mistaken. I did not fill up the rest, as I remember to have seen a very beautiful table of the arms of all the masters, hanging in the lodge in Dr. 45 Powell's time, and which he told me I might send for, whenever I pleased : and as I do not doubt of the present master's acquiescence, from his reputed character, I shall reserve them to the time I send back the book, and then borrow the said table. Other arms 1 have 662 COLE. CHAS. YATE. here and there interspersed, as being amused with Heraldry, and re- lating to benefactors to the college.

After which follows a catalogue of fellows of the 5 college, from 331 to p. 399, and concludes with lists of benefactors to the society, some account of the old and new libraries, and a few detached papers relating to the college, from p. 401 to p. 441, being the last page of the book. ' But before I begin with the bishops of the college, I will give some .10 account of the succession of masters, with their arms, (as also I shall add the arms to the bishops) that the history of the college, at least in its masters, may be complete to this time; regretting that no more is done by Mr. Baker.

A most serious man, and grave *5 governor ; yet withal of a most facetious disposition ; so that it was hard to say whether his counsel was more grateful for the soundness, or his company more acceptable for the pleasantness, thereof. Take one eminent instance of his ingenuity. ' Whilst master of the college, he chanced to punish all the under- 2 graduates therein for some general offence ; and the penalty was put upon their heads in the buttery. And because that he disdained to convert the money to any private use, it was expended in new whiting the hall of the college. Whereupon a scholar hung up these verses on the screen : 25 Doctor Jegon, Bennet College master, Brake the scholars' head, and gave the walls a plaister. ' But the doctor had not the readiness of his parts any whit impaired by his age ; for, perusing the paper, extempore he subscribed, Knew I but the wag that writ^hese verses in a bravery, 30 I would commend him for his wit, but whip him for his knavery.

Paul's Church on the morrow after, handselled at their first meeting by the sad news of the Decease of Dr. Neile, Archbishop of York, which had been brought unto the Town the day before. A man he was who had past through all 4c Degrees and Orders in the Church of England, and thereby made ac- quainted with the conveniences, or distresses, incident to all conditions. He had served the Church as Schoolmaster, Curate, Vicar, Parson, Master of the Savoy, Dean of Westminster, Clerk of the Closet to both Kings successively, Bishop of Rochester, Lichfield, Lincoln, Durham, 44 668 RI. NEILE AXD THE PURITANS. and Winchester, and finally, Archbishop of York, in which place he died. Many good Offices he had done to the Church and Churchmen in his attendance at the Court, crossing the Scots in most of their suits, their Ecclesiastical Preferments, which greedily and ambitiously they hunted after, and thereby drawing on himself the general hatred not 5 only of the Scots but Scotizing English. But of this Prelate we have spoke so much upon other occasions, that we may save the labour of any further addition, than that he died as full of years as he was of honours, an affectionate Subject to his Prince, an indulgent Father to his Clergy, a bountiful Patron to his Chaplains, and a true friend to IO all which relied upon him ; more fortunate in the time of his death than the course of his life, in being prevented by that blessed oppor- tunity from seeing those calamities which afterwards fell upon the King, the Church, and all that wish well to either of them ; which must have been more grievous to him than a thousand deaths.' r 5 Accused by the commons (Prynne's Canterb. Doome 162, 354) ; severe against foreign protestants (ibid. 403). See for an account of him by one strongly prejudiced against him, Prynne's Antipathie 1. 2 22jseq. Calamy's Account 825: '"When he [John Shaw] had preach'd his first Sermon there [at York], Archbishop Need sent for him by his Ap- 20 paritor. The Archbishop at first began to deal roughly with him ; but when he heard that he was chaplain to Philip Earl of Pembroke, the then Lord Chamberlain, he told him that he had nothing against him ; but that he heard he was a rich Man, and that he was brought in by Vaux the Lord Mayor of York, to Head the Puritan Party against 25 him : But, said he, I tell you I will break Yaux and the whole Puritan Party. But Mr. Shaw continu'd without Disturbance.' Sam. Clarke's Lives, 1677, p. 48: 'It was given out, that Bishop Neal, translated from Rochester, was to succeed [to Lichfield] (that which he [Wm. Bradshaw] much dreading, in divers of his Letters had oft up, Lord 3 keep us from Rochester), and so he did indeed, though not immediately ; yet not long after. For Doctor Abbots [Geo. Abbot, consecrated 3 Dec. 1609] . . , who came in between them, sate not long there, but before many moneths expired, stept [in 16 10] from Litchfield to Lon- don. But Bishop Neal was the man, whom all the pious, as well 35 private men as Ministers, in these parts mis-doubted would do the most mischief. And it was reported, that the Bishop was minded to reside from [? for] the space of time at Drakelow, a place not far distant from New-Hall ; whose neighbourhood was like to prove no more bene- ficial to Master Bradshaw, than the brass pots company in the Fable 40 to the earthen pitcher. But, ... howsoever in one of his Letters he manifesteth his fears to that purpose, that ... he much doubted that Zone would be too hot for him, yet in another afterward he signifieth that he had not as yet heard aught from him, or of any complaints that had been made to him against him. Nor indeed doth it appear that he 45 was at any time after molested, or disturbed in the exercise of his Ministry.' See ibid. 117, 118 an account of Arth. Hildersam's being silenced by Neile's means in Nov. 161 1: 'The occasion of Bishop Neales complaint to King James was this : One Edward Wightman, a damnable Heretick (afterward burnt at Lichfield for Blasphemie and 5 RI. NEILE AND THE PURITANS. 0G9 Heresie) dwelling in BuHon upon Trent ... and coming sometimes to the Exercise there, the Bishop and his Friends gave out, that Wight- man learned his Opinions (at least that of the souls sleeping) of the Puritan!!, and at the foresaid Exercises, and of Master Hildersam by 5 name. Bishop Neal informing King James of this, the King com- manded him (when he was in the Countrey) to send for Master Hilder- sam, and to hear what he could answer Wightman in this matter. The Bishop accordingly sent for Master Hildersam, but would not hear his defence till Wightman came. Wightman being called to his second IO publique heaving, Noremb. 26. 161 1. (in the hearing of more than 500 people) charged the Bishop with sundry wrong3 he had done him, naming this for one ; That he had given it out, that he had learned his Opinions from Master Hildersam; whereas I professe (said "he) he never taught, nor confirmed me in any of them ; but was of all men 1 5 ever most opposite unto me in them, and caused mine own Friends to reject me for them. ... Yet after this [after Hildersam's various at- tempts to reclaim Wightman], viz. November 27. 161 1, before the Bishop, he impudently avouched to Master Hildersams face, that at the Conference forenamed he should say, That the whole drift of the 20 Scripture indeed did make for the Opinion of the souls sleeping, but that the Church had otherwise judged of the matter. Master Hilder- sam did protest, that he never spake or thought so. ... So that . . the Bishop himself . . openly professed, that he was assuredly perswaded, that Wightman had greatly wronged him ... Yet he remained under 2 C the Censure of silencing, which was procured to be inflicted on him upon this occasion; and the two forenamed Exercises were put down. ... Master Hildersam continued silenced a long time, yet could not live peaceably from men, though he lived quietly with men. For December 8. 16 12, Letters missive were sent out of the High-Com- ?o mission Court requiring his appearance there; accordingly he appeared April 22. 16 13, at which time he was judicially admonished and in- joined, that (saving the Catechizing of his own Family only) he should not at any time hereafter Preach, Catechize, or use any part of the office or function of a minister, either publiquely or privately, until he 35 should be lawfully restored and released of his said suspension.' Ri. Roth well (Clarke, ibid. 69) 'had some contests with the Prelates, especially with Bishop Neal then of Litchfield.'' Neile said of a court sermon of Dr. John Preston's, which was regarded by the puritans as a prophecy of the disaster in the isle of Rlie" (ibid. 110): 'he talked 40 like one that was familiar with God Almighty.' Dr Win. Gouge (ibid. 239) only published 'Serjeant Finch his Book about the Calling of the Jews, ... and the author himself owned it, yet for his publication of it he was committed to prison, and kept there for the space of nine weeks together. King Janus being informed that the Serjeant had in 45 that Book declared, and endeavoured to prove, that the Jews should have a visible Kingdom, which should be above all other King- doms, which Doctrine he abhorred, he thereupon grew extream im- patient: Bishop Neal also with others, provoked him against the publisher of the Book, which so incensed him, that he would admit of 50 no Apology.'

II. 201): 'I was told yesterday, that the Bishop of Durham had been quoted in some IO men's speeches in the Lower House, by the name of that irrever- ent Bishop; where Mr. Brewer cites MS. Harl. 1581 f. 181, J. Pory to Sir Tho. Puckering, 20 Sept. 1632 : 'One writ to me from Cam- bridge two things in commendation of the present Bishop of York. First, that being by his coachman hurried apace through a town where J 5 were many poor people, as if he had meant to save his master's purse harmless, he called him kuave for his labor, and made him stand still till such time as he had, with his own hand, distributed to them all. Secondly, that being advertised by some of his officers how he might levy a tenth upon his clergy, as well as his late predecessor had done, 20 he answered, he would in no case attempt any such matter, for he was come to benefit, and not to charge his clergy.' Neile always retained a lively interest in St. John's, see Index. ' Had not Mr Drake positively put down the arms which I have tricked out for Abp.

Andrewes and Overall invited Cosin to go to London, JO. OVERALL. ANT. DE DOMINIS. G71 to take care of their libraries (Gutch Collect. Cur. II. 19 21): 'By the perswasion of his Tutor he chose to live with Bishop Overall,... who gave him not onlj' the keeping of his Library, but made him his secretary [cf. Is. Basire's Fun. Serm. on Cosin, 43] and committed to 5 him the care of his Episcopal Seal ... By keeping Bishop Overall's Library, he began to learn, quanta pars eruditionis erat bonos nosse auctores (which was the saying of Joseph Scaliyer) in the knowledge of which he would instruct him. 'A. Spalato came into England in 1616 ... The King sent Bishop I O Overall to him, who took in his company his Secretary, and commanded him to be near him the same morning Spalato arrived, to hear what passed between them. ' After dinner, some other being present, the discourse began about the state of the Church of England; of which Overall having given a J 5 large account, Spalato received great satisfaction, aud made his pro- - testation, that he came into England then to live with us in the union and profession of that Catholick Religion, which was so much obstructed in his own country, that he could not with safety and peace of con- science live there any longer. Then he added what satisfaction he had 20 received from the monitory Preface of King James to all the Estates and Churches of Christendom; wherein the true autient faith and religion of the Catholick Church is set forth, and no heterodoxies or novelties maintained : to the defence of which faith, and service of which church, as he had already a long time applied his studies, and 25 wrote ten books de Repullica Ecclesiastica, so, by the favour of God and King James, he was now come into England to review and publish them ; together with the History of the Council of Trent, which he had brought with him from Padre Paolo of Venice, who delivered it into his hands ; by whom he was chiefly persuaded and encouraged to have 30 recourse to the King and the Church of England, being the best founded for the profession of true Catholick doctrine, and the freest from error and novelties of any Church in all places besides. ' They then descended to the particular points of doctrine, and abusive practices, &c. in all which the Archbishop agreed with the 35 Bishop, and said, that they were all, either the fond opinions and bold practices of private men, or the ungrounded conceits and conclusions of the School-men, or the Papal decrees of Innocent III, Eugenius iv, and other Popes ... but no determinations or decrees of the Catholick Church '. 40 Lord Brooke was his patron (Fuller's Worthies, 8vo. ed.

Casaubon was in his house 1610 and speaks of him in very high terms (Casaubon's Epist. n. 695, 698, pp. 365, 366, cf. p. 424 bis, 428 b. 434 a). Invites Grotius (ibid. p. 532 b).

Pory to lord Brooke, Lond. 15 Nov. 1632 (ibid. 196): 'Yesterday one was recounting unto me all the brave works the bishop of Lincoln now called in trouble, IO hath performed ; as namely in the first place three libraries, one at Westminster, a second at Lincoln, and a third (and that a stately one) at St John's College in Cambridge, over and above his reparation of the north side of Westminster cathedral and of Lincoln palace through- out ; his maintenance of a number of scholars, as well in his house at 1 5 Westminster, as in the universities ; his building of a square court of stone at Lincoln college in Oxford ; and, what may be instar omnium, his purchasing of 300 a year land and bestowing it on his present bishopric. And yet he must take up his cross for all that. When the bill was brought unto him by Mr Attorney's clerk (so Sir C. Y. tells 20 me), he said somewhat merrily to him, You mistake the parti/, quoth he, this bill belongeth to the earl of Lincoln, and not to the bishop. The messenger replied, If it please your lordship to peruse it, you shall find it concerns the bishop only.'' E.R. to Sir Tho. Puckering 13 Apr. 1636 (ibid. 243) : ' The commission which hath been on foot every Monday 25 these two months upon the prebends of Westminster's complaints against the bishop of Lincoln, is now put off till the Monday after Easter week. Monday last he had a very ill day. A new charge is lately risen against him, that his lordship hath received out of the prebends allowances 3300 towards the reparation of the abbey church. 30 They charge him, that he hath not laid out half the money, and that he keeps the rest. His lordship saith, ft bay-gain is a bargain, and gives in no account. But his grace told his lordship it was a base bargain ; so requires the bishop to bring in the accounts, which the bishop hath small mind unto : and whether his lordship can now make a true 35 account, yea or no, is a great question ; because it is said his lordship hath made several accounts, and then dislikes them again.'

This being complained of to the diocesan, the bishop of Lincoln, he came to the church to see if it were so, yea or no ; and finding it there, his lordship caused it in his own presence to 45 be digged up and to be taken quite away, telling the parson that, if he pleased, he might set the communion-table there, but altars were for- bidden by the statute.'

' Right Honourable, ' Having, by the Help of God, reduced unto your Obedience this rocky and mountainous Country, Carnarvonshire, in North Wales, situ- ated towards Ireland (one small Town therein excepted, which yet is 35 block'd up) and that in a short Time, and with small Forces, the Bar- renness of the Country being no ways able to maintain or nourish any great Army : I held it befitting that Ingenuity which the Parliament useth to cherish in all their Servants, to represent unto your Honours, amongst many others, one Person especially by whom I have been 40 much encouraged and assisted, from Time to Time, in all Services : It is the Archbishop of York ; who, besides his Parts, Learning and Experience (which are known, I suppose, to most of your Honours), is of those Means, Power, Kindred and Alliance in these Parts, as I must profess that his Assistance in several Ways (being invited by me to 45 put himself upon the Favour of the Parliament) hath been very advan- tageous and effectual in this Reduction of these strong Towns and mountainous Countries unto their due Obedience. I was at first put into the Hopes of gaining his Furtherance in this Work, because I received it from all Hands, that the Archbishop, ever since his coming cry WILLIAMS TAKES CONWAY CASTLE. 675 to Wales, did employ himself rather in defending of his native Country from the Violence and Incursions of the Commanders in Chief and Soldiers under the King, (who accordingly bear him much Rancour and Malice to this Day for such Endeavours) than in actual opposing 5 the Designs of the Parliament ; with which Invitation he very easily complied, tho' towards the eleventh Hour of the Day, yet upon the first calling, as it were, and approaching of the Parliamentary Forces, unto these remotest Parts of this Kingdom ; and, being once entered into the Vineyard, I must do him that Right that he omitted no Expence, 1 Cost, Travel, or Industry to comply with the Parliament. 'These Services of this wise and grave Personage, myself being unable to requite, I do humbly and most earnestly recommend to your Honours Respect and Consideration, who can best judge what a Man of his Parts, under such Obligations from your Honours and the Par- 1 5 liament, may hereafter deserve, so shall your Honours with him, very much engage ' Your Honours most humble and faithful Servant, ' Tho.

' Since the writing of this Letter it hath pleased God, after 20 some Trouble, but without Bloodshed, that the Isle and County of Anglesey, with the strong Castle therein, is reduced unto the King and Parliament ; and in this Service my Lord of York had none of the least Part, besides that his Lordship, whilst our Forces expected other Employment, withdrew his own Men from his House at Penryn ; and, 25 with some Addition of his Friends, hath laid a close Siege unto Conway Town and Castle, and doth at this Instant vigorously pursue it, which I thought myself bound to represent unto your Lordships for the Bene- fit and Advantage of that worthy Person.* ' This Letter being communicated to the House of Commons the 30 same Day, they ordered their Speaker to return Col.

Acad. 20 ' Mr Baker's account is reason sufficient for Burnet's venom and explains it. Harris, p. 644, has retailed Burnet's tale : composed for 2 reasons: one, to gratify his vanity in conversing familiarly with K. Charles 2., just in the same manner as he has framed another lie, upon the same motive and to abuse the popedom and Christianity through 2 5 its sides : I mean the conversation he pretends he held w r ith that great queen Christina at Rome : who, had she been alive at the publication of his secret and scandalous history, would probably have served him, as she had done a Swedish Lutheran bp., who had made free with her character in point of sincerity of her conversion, and made him retract 3 what he had said: just in the same mann.r as she had done to the celebrated Peter Bayle, the biographer, who had hinted something of the same sort ; which she obliged him also to recant ; which shewed both her resolution and sincerity, and at the same time is a proof of Burnet's slander. That her original conversion was sincere, is evident 35 from a conversation she had with one of Burnet's friends, the preshy- terian ambassador Whitlock, just before he left her court and at the eve of her abdication : that she died in the same sentiments at Rome, no one ever doubted, but those who retail stories of the scepticism of sovereign princes in order to encourage and propagate the same latitu- 40 dinarian principles. The other motive the Scotch prelate had to tell this story of Bp. Wolley, who no doubt detested men of his principles, was to gratify his taste for scandal, and to cast a ridicule iijnin the loyal and conforming clergy, who, according to Burnettian custom, were to be aspersed at any rate, even at the expense of his beloved 45 fanatics. I have ventured to give bp. Wolley the arms assigned to Sir John Wolley in an ancient M.S. of Heraldry in the library of King's college; which are, argent, on a cheveron sable an eagle displayed WOLLEY. MORGAN. LLOYD. 679 argent : and upon this account : Mr Harris (Ware, 644) speaking of the arms put on a bell which bp. Wolley recast and hung up in the steeple of Clonfert cathedral, says that they were the episcopal arms quartered with a spread eagle : now this according to no kind of 5 heraldry can be true : and it is most probable that Mr Harris, not regarding so vulgar a study, seeing an eagle, did not much regard the situation or position of it, but (as most people do, who are not conver- sant in this science, if I may venture to call it by so noble a name) quarters it with the arms of the see, instead of impaling it. v.

And the trust which he reposed in him is certainly so great, as nothing possibly could 30 be greater. Whether one or other were in the right, either he in giving, or this in accepting, is not the question. How likewise he discharged the high trust committed to him, and with what prudence and privacy lie transacted matters relating to it, so as not to give thereby any um- brage to the government, or as little as possible, will be proper for an 35 Ecclesiastical history of those times to explain distinctly. He outlived all the Bishops except Dr. Kenn, who had made a cession of his title ; dying upon New Year's day at Hammersmith, 1709, according to the English account.'

LLOYD. WM. GOULDSTON. his assiduity was so much taken notice of .that he was more than once threatned to be sent to keep company with those, whose cause he so diligently solli cited. ' The Letter of my Lord Halifax above-mentioned being just printed off od his arrival at London, he got -2000 of them for his diocese, and 5 sent them down to Dr. Prideaux, to be dispersed among the Clergy. And this was executed so successfully, that before the third of June, on which the Declaration was to be read, every Clergyman in the diocese was furnished with one of those letters against it, which had so good an effect, that out of 1200 parishes in the diocese of Norwich, 10 there were not above four or five in which it was read ' (Life of Pri- deaux 39 4 1 )- ' C" n the first of August this year [1689] all, who refused the said oaths, being suspended, and that suspension followed with deprivation of such, as persisted in their refusal, on the first of February following; the Diocese of Norwich lost their worthy Bishop,., j c who not being satisfyed of the lawfulness of the said oaths, persisted in the refusal of them, and chusing rather to sacrifice his interest, than violate his conscience, was by virtue of the Statute above mentioned deprived of his Bishoprick ' (ibid, 51, 52).

A DEFENCE OF THE PROFESSION WHICH THE Eight Reverend Father in God JOHN Late Lord Bishop of CHICHESTER, Made upon his DEATH-BED; 2 5 CONCERNING Passive Obedience, and the New Oaths. TOGETHER With an Account of some Passages of His Lordship's Life. 20 30 LONDON: Printed in The Year MDCXC. 'Sir, ' I here send you the Profession which you have heard that the late Lord Bishop of Chichester made a little before his Death ; and 35 perhaps, it may be convenient to give you some short Account of the most remarkable Passages of his Life, to shew by what steps and degrees he arriv'd at that presence and greatness of mind, which ap- peared so eminent in the latter part of it. For his whole Life was so steady and uniform, that those who knew him well, would scarce have aq believed that he could leave the World at such a time as this, without giving some considerable Testimony of that Loyalty which he had always practised, and endeavouring to do that further Service to the Church at his Death, which he had resolved to perform, if it had pleased God to grant him a longer Life among us. And when I have 45 given this Relation, and have set down the circumstances of his Lord- 682 JO. LAKE. sliips reading and signing the Profession, it will be time enough after- wards to consider, the very unkind Reflections that have been made upon it, in a Letter from one who Styles himself a Person of Quality in the North, to his Friend in London. 'I shall begin, Sir, with his Admission in the University, for he had 5 not been long there, before it was his Fortune to become a very early Sufferer for Loyalty. In the 13th year of his Age, he was admitted in St. John's College in Cambridge, under the Tuition of Mr. Cleveland, and he always retained a great Reverence for his Tutors Memory, and a very high regard for that Society : That College being made a Prison I o for the Royal Party, he could not be exempted from the number, but was kept a Prisoner there, when he was now but Batchelqr of Arts ; but making his escape from thence, he fled to Oxford, and went into the Kings Army, in which he continued four years. He was at Basing-House when it was taken, and at Wallingford, which was one 1 5 of the last Garrisons that held out for K. Charles the First ; and he behaved himself honourably upon all occasions. ' After the Death of that excellent Prince, which ought never to be mentioned by English-men, but with shame and lamentation, when K. Charles the Second was kept out of his Kingdoms, and there were 20 now but little hopes of his return, yet when the Royal Cause was at the lowest, his Lordship refused the Engagement with the same Con- stancy, wherewith he had rejected the Covenant before, though it is well known, Sir, what specious Arguments were used for the taking it, and that many were induced to take that, who could never be brought 25 to have any tolerable thoughts of the Covenant. Before the Restaura- tion, he entred into Episcopal Orders, when it was made a Crime to do so, and when many forsook the Church as quite ruined and left, after the Defender of our Faith was barbarously Murthered, and his Children in their tender years, were driven by such as called themselves Pro- 30 testants, into Popish Countries, and exposed to the hazard of seeking a worse Religion with better usage ; from whence we must date all our dangers of Popery and Slavery. It was at that very time, I say, Sir, that the good Bishop of whom I am now Writing, was ordained a Priest of the Church of England. So far, he always was from judging 35 of things by the success. 'Soon after the Kings return he was presented to the Vicarage of Leeds in Yorkshire, and his Induction was violently opposed for no other Reason, but his known Loyalty. But he was not long to stay at Leeds, tho' they had now learned to put a juster value upon the 40 Happiness they enjoyed in him, for being appointed to Preach the first Synod Sermon at York, after the Restauration, he did it with so great applause, that Dr. Ilitrh (afterwards Dean of York) desired a Copy of that Sermon, and without his Knowledge shew'd it to JJr. Sheldon, then Lord Bishop of London, who soon after sent for him, and removed 45 him to St. liotolphs, in JJithojyate street. That Wise Prelate knew how fit a choice he had made, to give an example of Vniformity to the City at that juncture; for hi* Lordship was then as Btrict himself in observ- ing the Canons and Rubricks, as lie was afterwards careful that others should observe them. He could never fancy any Dispcncing Poiccr in 50 JO. LAKE CANON OF YORK. G83 himself, nor could think any thing little or formal, where his own Duty, and the Order and Decency of Gods worship was concerned. ' Here, Sir, I must not omit that which his Lordship always valued as the principal Honour and Felicity of his Life ; I mean, his Friend- 5 ship with His Grace my Lord Arch-bishop of Canterbury. Hi3 Grace was Dean of St. Pauls, and his Lordship, I think, Rector of St. Bo- tolphs, when he happened to be in waiting at Court in his Graces month ; and from that beginning of their acquaintance, my Lord Arch- bishop had ever a high esteem for him, and received him into his par- 1 ticular favour and affection. ' About eight years after he removed to York, and was Residentiary of that Cathedral Church, and perhaps, never any Residentiary was more useful and beneficial to that Church, either in asserting the Li- berties, and recovering the Rights of it, and in managing and securing 1 5 the Revenue, or in maintaining Order and Decency there. I shall give you but one instance, Sir, which will shew both his Zeal for Gods Honour, and his Courage in defending it. ' There was an ill Custom at York, of walking in the Body of the Cathedral, during the time of Divine Service, and the common sort of 20 people would oftentimes be rude and loud, so as to disturb, and almost interrupt the Service. His Lordship had, from the beginning, resolved to break this custom; and it happened one Shrove- Tuesday, that the noise was more than ordinary, and the numbers greater, insomuch that he could no longer refrain himself, but went down to them from his Seat 25 in the Quire, and with his own Hand plucked off some of their Hats, and spoke to them either to come with him, and join in the Worship of God, or to go out of the Church. They were all daunted, and with- out much disturbance went out ; yet the Vergers had no sooner shut the Doors, but they pressed so hard upon the South Door, that they 30 broke the Iron Bar which fastened it, and forced it open, and as is usual with a Rabble, they heated and animated one another into Rage and Madness, and when he came out of the Church, followed him home in a tumultuous and furious manner, with reviling and threatn- ing Language, and had undoubtedly done him some mischief, if his 35 Gravity and Courage had not over-awed them; but then growing still more Insolent and Outragious, they plucked up the Rails before the Deanery, and his House, and beat down the Wall in diverse places, and had taken off a great deal of the Tiling, and would most certainly have Plundered the House, and in all probability would have de- 40 molish'd it, and have killed him, if in that instant of time, Captain llonyicood, who was then Deputy-Governour, had not come with some Souldiers to his Rescue. 'AH this while not one indecent nor timorous word escaped him, but when he was desired to withdraw into a Neighbouring House, his 45 Lordship refused to do it, saying, That he was in a yood Cause, and upon his own Ground, and if they would have his Life, he could not help it, Gods Will be done, but he would endanger no body else. His whole Behaviour in this dangerous accident was much admired, and a peculiar Providence seems to have been bis Protection in it, for though Bricks and 50 Stones, and whatever else could be found, were thrown in at him, yet 45 684 JO. LAKE BISHOP. it pleased God, that nothing hit him. He was forced to keep a Guard in his House a good while after, for they threatned to burn it ; and my Lord Mayor was as great a Friend to the Rabble as some Ma- gistrates have been since, and refused to give him any assistance. ' I have been the more particular in this business, that I might pay 5 a just acknowledgement to the Memory of that Worthy Gentleman, who Rescued him from such imminent danger : But I have concealed the Name of a Man, whose carriage was so unsuitable to the Trust and Honour of his Place. 'The driving the Buyers and Sellers out of the Temple, was, in St. IO HierorrCs opinion, the greatest Miracle that our Saviour ever did, and though there was nothing Miraculous in this Action of the late Bishop, yet thus much must be acknowledged, That it was a manifest argument of a true Christian Courage, and conformable to the Example of Christ himself. 1 5 ' He was then but lately come to York, and afterwards no man was more beloved than His Lordship, and I believe, he is no where more lamented than in that City, for both the City and Country have ex- pressed as great a sorrow for his Death, as they did a desire before, that he might fill the Vacancy of the Archbishoprick. 20 'But to pursue, Sir, in few words, the remaining course of his Lordships Life. He was nominated, by the Right Honourable the E. of Derby, to the Bishoprick of Man, and from thence translated by K. Charles the Second, to the Bishoprick of Bristol: and now my Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, considering and highly approving his 25 affectionate vigilant care over his own Clergy, and his whole Diocess, and his wisdom and vigour in administring the Discipline of the Church, chose him out as one most fit to be intrusted with a Commis- sion, to visit the Diocess of Litchfield and Coventry. ' In the time of Monmouth's Rebellion, his Lordship being in Lon- 30 don at the Parliament, the K. considered that the presence of a Bishop, whom he could so entirely confide in, and who was so well beloved and esteemed in his Diocess, would be infinitely serviceable to him, in so important a place as Bristol, the better to keep that City, and the ad- jacent Country, in their Duty. His Lordship, as soon as he had 35 notice of His Majesties Pleasure, went down thither with all readiness, though he was then so much indisposed with the Gout, that he was carry'd into his Coach. In this painful and dangerous Journey, he very narrowly escaped the Rebels ; but he hastened down, to meet new and worse dangers there. And the K. was so well satisfy'd with his 40 Behaviour and Conduct, in so seasonable and singular an instance of Obedience, that ho took the first opportunity of shewing him some mark of Lis Favour; and before his return from Bristol, nominated him for the Bishoprick of ChicJustcr. ' Some time after, he held another Archiepiscopal Visitation at 45 Salisbury, with the Bishop of Rochester, and other Commissioners ; concerning which, I shall crave leave to use my Lord Bishop of Rochester's words, in his first Letter to my Lord Chamberlain, and shall only say, That by Gods Blessing they composed several old dif- ferences and animosities, and restored Peace and Vnity to that Church. 5 JO. LAKE AND THE NEW OATH. 685 'The following part of bis Lordship's Life, 13 so well known to you, Sir, and to the whole Nation besides, that it will be needless to give any account of it. I need only mention, that his Lordship was one of the Seven Bishops, who by their Christian Courage and Patier.ce, 5 disarm'd the Rage of our Popish Adversaries, in the height of their Pride and Triumph. Nothing greater can be said, than that he was of their number, and that after he had prevented the sending down of the Declarations into his own Diocess, he came in great haste to London, and joined himself to the rest of my Lords the B'shops, and 10 had his share in the whole management of an affair, as honourable as, perhaps, any thing that has been done in any Age. ' He had afterwards a very worthy part in those applications the Bishops made to His Majesty a little before the Revolution, when they interpos'd themselves, as it were, between the K. and his People, 1 5 an d with all the humility and submission of Subjects, and yet with all the freedom and courage which was necessary to the Preservation of three Kingdom 5 ", offered that advice in which nothing was wanting that could have made those Nations happy, if it had been sooner taken. It must not be omitted that in the Convention he shew'd a 20 fearless Honesty, spoke often, and always like himself. He never gave one Vote but what was agreeable to his former practice, and has left his unchangeable Loyalty upon Record in his Protestation. ' From the whole course of His Lordship's Life, it is evident that he was most willing to hazard all but his Salvation, for the Interest of 25 the Protestant Religion, and the Safety of the Nation; which has made me often wonder to see, how angry some men can be at those, who will not be perswaded to take an Oath against their Consciences, as if they had not that Zeal for the Protestant Religion, which such Men would be thought to have. More Candor and Charity, one would 30 think, might be expected from them to their Fellow- Sufferer ; nay, to those who suffered for them. ' His Lordship discoursed frequently, concerning the Oath, with several Learned Men, and particularly, held correspondence by Let- ters with an Eminent Divine who endeavoured to prove to him the 35 Lawfulness of it. His Lordship received his last Letter a little before his Death, and could answer it only by a contrary Profession. ' That awful sense, indeed, which he ever had of the Divine Majesty, made him very impartial in considering the force and obligation of his former Oaths, which he had often taken (as most Clergy-men have) 40 and he could not but abhor the thoughts of taking that, which he be- lieved to be a contrary Oath. He considered, that the Day of Death, and of Judgment, are as certain as the 1st of August, and the 1st of February, and acted accordingly. ' This is not said, Sir, to cast any reproach upon those whose Con- 45 sciences can allow them to take the New Oath: No, it would ill become me to make the least Reflexion upon others, when I am describing a Life so eminent for Charity ; and you know, Sir, what great respect and esteem His Lordship had for very many of them. But this I only say, that he acted with the same Resolution of mind all along in this 452 G8Q jo. lake's dying profession. matter, as if he could have foreseen that he should not long survive bis Susjxnsion ; whereas no Man, perhaps, of his years, could have more Reason than His Lordship, to expect yet a much longer life, for he had none of the usual Infirmities of a declining Age, except only a Fit or two, very seldom, of the Gout. He had the full enjoyment of all his 5 Faculties both of Body and Mind, till his last illness, which seiz'd him with a sudden trembling, and a malignant Fever, with Convul- sions, in ten days time took him away from us. In his younger years he languished under a long Indisposition, and was reduced to a very weak condition by a Hectick Fever; to which he was thought naturally 10 inclined, his Mother having dy'd of that distemper. But after he had once overcome that, he attained to a settled state of Health, which by a Life every way strictly regular, and an exact Moderation in all things, was continued to him till his last sickness ; and he never seem'd either to himself, or others, to be in better health, than on that 1 5 very clay on which he fell sick : And during that short, but very Bevere sickness, he had a vigorous strength of Body, and the perfect use of his Reason, until the day before he dy'd, yet from the beginning there was small hope of his Recovery, and the Symptoms daily grew worse and worse. 20 'It was on Tuesday, August 27. between seven and eight in the Morning, that he spoke to Mr. Jenhin his Chaplain, to come and write by him, and his Loi dship dictated to him the Recognition and Pro- fession following. 4 Belivj called by a sick, and I think a dying Bed, and the good Hand 25 of God upon me in it, to take the last and best Viaticum, the Sacrament of my dear Lords Body and Blood, I take my self obliged to make this short Recognition and Profession. ' That whereas I was Baptized into the Religion of the Church of England, and sucked it in with my Milk, I have constantly adhered to 30 it through the whole course of my Life, and noic, if so be the Will of God, shall dye in it ; and I had resolved, through Gods Grace assisting me, to have dy'd so, though at a Stake. 'And whereas that Religion of the Church of England, taught me the Doctrine of Non-Resistance and Passive Obedience, which I have accord- 35 ingly inculcated upon others, and which I took to be the distinguishing Character of the Church of England, / adhere no less firmly and stcd- fastly to that, and in consequence of it, have incurred a Suspension from tfte Exercise of my Office, and expected a Deprivation. I find in so doing much inward satisfaction, and if the Oath had been tendred at the Peril 40 of my Life, I could only have obey'd by Suffering. ' / desire you, my Worthy Friends and Brethren, to bear Witness of this upon occasion, and to believe it as the Words of a dying Man, and who is now engaged in the most Sacred and Solemn Act of Conversing with God in this World, and may, jor aught he knows to the contrary, 45 api>ear with these very Words in his Mouth, at the dreadful Tribunal. ' Manu piroptria subscrip>si, 'Johannes Cicestrensis.' jo. lake's profession. 687 ' This Profession was Read, and Subscribed by the Bishop, in the presence of ' Dr. Green, the Parish- Minister, who administred. ' Dr. Hicks, Dean of Worcester. 5 ' Mr. Jenkin, his Lordships Chaplain. ' Mr. Powell, his Secretary. ' Mr. Wilson, hia Amanuensis ; who all communicated with him. ' You see, Sir, His Lordship had a certain Prospect of Death, and looked upon himself as a dying Man, when he made this Profession, IO and scarce expected to finish the reading of it, but apprehended that he might probably be seized upon by Death, and called before the dreadful Tribunal, before he could utter these words. ' As soon as his Chaplain had Written it, His Lordship ordered him to read it over to him, which he did, and then the Bishop read it over 15 himself, in a distinct and audible Voice, and it was afterwards tran- scribed by his Amanuensis, and then at the Celebration of the Holy Communion, was again audibly and distinctly read over by his Lord- ship, and subscribed by him immediately before his receiving the same. When the Communion was over, he called to Mr. Powell his Secretary, 20 and ordered him to make an Act of it : The Lord Bishop of Norwich coming to visit him soon after, His Lordship pray'd him to look over the Paper, and then desired the Dean of Worcester to carry it with him to Lambeth, and discoursed of it to my Lord Bishop of Ely, who that evening made him a visit ; so that nothing perhaps, in all its cir- 25 cumstances, was ever more solemnly and deliberately done. 'Now it is not easie to imagine what exceptions can be made against a Profession, which carries with it such evident proofs of a truly Cha- ritable and Primitive Spirit : Yet the Person of Quality in the North you see, Sir, is much offended at it, and has been pleased to Print a 30 Letter full of angry Objections against it. It seems his just Tribute of sorrow for Bishop Lake's Death was soon paid, that he could at this time of day be at leisure to pay another sort of Tribute to his Friend in London, of a different Passion. His Civility and due respect for the memory of the late Reverend Bishop, I should with all thankfulness 1; most readily acknowledge, if I could think it not designed, with the better Grace and more Ceremony, to cast a Blemish upon one of the last and most solemn Acts of his Life. ' He rightly observes that his Lordship was sufficiently distinguished, and his fame secured to all Posterity, in that he was one of the Seven 40 Bishops, whose Courage and Constancy will remain upon Record until Time shall be no more. But how his being a great Maintainer and Assertor of the Protestant Religion, and the English Liberties, is incon- sistent with his being a great Champion, as he calls it, for Passive Obedience, I cannot understand. I can assure him none of Bishop Lake's Friends ever thought one of those two honourable Characters would obscure the other, but that they never could be so entire and truly honourable, as when they are together. ' What the design must be of publishing the Paper, doth not at all concern his Friends, who had no Hand in it, but that His Lordship 45 688 jo. lake's profession. had a great and good Design in making that Profession before he left the World, I imagined had been very obvious to Persons of less Bank and Quality, than this Gentleman would be thought to be of. 'The Reasons for the Doctrine of Passive Obedience, all men of Reason, methinks, should know, could not be contained in so small a 5 compass, and are not well consistent with the design of a Profession, which should be short, in full and expressive terms ; and of this nature are all the Professions, which the Bishops of Old used to send one to another, at the first Promotion to their Sees. This was all they did in their perfect health, and to expect a long Series of Reasons and I O Arguments, of Objections and Answers, from a Man upon his Death- Bed, is next to expecting that one should arise from the Dead to con- vince us. Rather let us hearken to Moses and the Prophet*, to St. Peter and St. Paul; let us read Romans 13. and 1 Pet. 2. with the best Commentators upon them : let us read the Works of our own Divines, 1 5 who to their honour have been wanting to no Subject, and as little to this as any. I suppose he i3 very well satisfy 'd with the Creed, though it contain no Arguments, and this being a Profession of Practical Doctrine, as that is of Faith, he had as little Reason to expect Argu- ments here : And this he confesses himself in effect, when he thinks he 20 can take any advantage by it; why else does he say. That in his Opinion, it would more hare become his Lordship, if, as the Office for the Sick directs, he had made a Confession of the Christian Faith, contain' d in the Apostles Creed ? But do not Atheists and Hereticks expect Reasons of us for our Christian Faith? And then the Profession of 25 that too, must have been really impertinent, because He had certainly given the World as convincing proofs of his Opinion before. If I might be so bold, Sir, I would venture to say, that in my Opinion it would have more become the Person of Quality to have spared this Reflexion ; for he that professes he dyes in the Religion of the Church of England, 30 professes I hope sufficiently that he believes the Christian Faith con- tained in the Apostles Creed. Yes, says the Letter, unquestionably he believed it, and I can assure him he as unquestionably professed it : and as the Office for the Visitation of the Sick directs, declared, that he ttedfastly believed all the Articles of it. For his Lordship, who was 35 always so strict and punctual to the Canons of the Church, would have no part of the Office omitted. 'But he had submitted to a Suspension, and had certainly given the World as convincing proof of his Opinion, as if he had ]>rintcd a thousand Volumes about it. And some have written so many Volumes, 40 that it was thought they had given the World convincing proofs enough of their Opinion, tho they have not yet submitted to a Suspen- sion. But there are those who would perswade the World, that the Case of the Bishops is very different from the rest of the Clergy, and would make it a point of Honour in them, rather thau of Conscience. 45 His Lordship therefore declares that he had incurred a Suspension in consequence of the Doctrine of Passive Obedience. And that as he had inculcated it upon others, so he thought himself obliged to practise it upon tlits and all other occasions. He now only declares what he be- fore bo often taught, to testifio to the World that he was still of the 5 PASSIVE OBEDIENCE. G89 same mind, that he found no reason to change his Judgement; that no Ambition or worldly Interest had tempted him to preach this Doctrine ; but that he was ready to forfeit all, even Life it self, rather than con- tradict or abandon it : That what he had professed before the World, 5 he was not afFraid now to dye in the profession of; and to profess it before God in the most solemn act of conversing with him in this World, and when he every moment expected to be summoned to appear before him in the next 1'. 24 (the first): 'You see, Sir, how conspicuous all the true marks of a Primi- 10 tive Piety are in this Profession ; but his Lordship had not that only reason to say that he was educated in this Doctrine, and was resolved never to abjure or renounce it, tho it were at the peril of bis Life, be- cause after so long experience he could discern no ill in it, but thought it Orthodox ; he had this further Reason to say it, He had lived to hear 15 it affirmed that Passive Obedience is a Doctrine of but 40 or 50 years standing, and his Testimony alone being sufficient to confute that Error, it was most proper and requisite for him to aver, that he was educated in this Doctrine : and that it was not only as old as he could remember, who was now 65 years of Age, but that he was taught it as 20 an ancient Doctrine, and always lookt upon it to bs of the same Anti- quity among us, with the Reformation it self, and part of that Primi- tive Doctrine which was then revived and established in the Church of England. This, Sir, was the way of maintaining the Truth of Old, by pleading against Hereticks, and if some Men in our days, take the 25 confidence to say that so material a Doctrine is but of 40 or 50 years date, shall it be cavill'd at, if a Reverend and Learned Bishop declares that to his own certain knowledge it is ancienter than so, and that he received it from his Childhood, as the constant Doctrine of the Church of England, from the time of the Reformation ?... 30 P. 44: 'But I shall not pretend to give you, Sir, a second part of the History of Passive Obedience : I shall only say, that when his Lordship saw this Doctrine treated in the vilest and most opprobrious Language, and compared to the most absurd Doctrines of Popery, even to Tran- substantiation it self, by such as value themselves notwithstanding 35 upon their being Members of the Church of England: He had then too great occasion to declare, that he had ever this Notion of the Church of England, that it was as upon other accounts, so upon this particularly distinguished from Popery and Fanaticism, that it never taught the resisting and deposing Doctrines, as the opposite Parties 40 have both done. ' Nor doth this imply, that all who have taken the Oath have there- by renounced the Church of England, as he would insinuate, nor so much indeed as that they have renounced this very Doctrine, tho whoever hath renounced it, the Bishop truly did suppose, that they 45 had so far departed from the Doctiine of our Church. But as there are several different Hypotheses to reconcile men to the taking of the new Oath, so there is but one of them which is thought inconsistent with the Doctrine of Passive Obedience. For Conquest, Abdication, the taking of the Oath in a lower sense, or with a Declaration, are held 50 so well consistent with it, that some who are Zealous Advocates for 690 NONJURORS LOYAL. the Oath, yet have lately written in behalf of Passive Obedience. And I believe if a computation could be made, of all who have taken it upon the account of some one or more of these Notions, those that have taken it upon contrary Principles, would not be much consider- able either for Note or Number, though our Person of Quality should 5 happen to be among them. One way, indeed, the Men of those Prin- ciples have to make themselves considerable, they are always most busie and violent, fancying that they have a share in Sovereignty, and valuing themselves upon being nearer a Throne, than others dare pre- sume to be. But I hope we shall not always see affronts upon Ma- IO jesty pass for Wit instead of Argument, and that Men will not always be suffered to be Wiser than the Laws. What Duty or Service can it be to Their present Majesties, to tell the people twice or thrice a Week from the Press, that Soveraign Princes are upon their good behaviour ? ' I shall not doubt to say, that these who cannot take the Oath, yet 15 wish better to Their Majesties than these their violent Adversaries, and in the end will prove better Subjects. Their Majesties are the two Persons in the World, whose Reign over them, their Interest and Inclinations oblige them most to desire, and nothing but Conscience could restrain them, from being as forward as any in all expressions of 20 Loyalty. This is one of the strongest Temptations they meet with, and upon this account we have seen so great an example of Self-denyal since the Death of K. Charles II. that the like can scarce be shewn in any Age ; in a Bishop to whose Care and good Instructions is in great measure owing the Protestant Succession to the Throne, who so long 25 has run all the hazards of the Court, and is still forced to decline the rewards of his eminent Services, with the same good Conscience where- with he performed them. And in general, I have this one Request to make, to all who are true Sons of the Church of England, that they would be pleased but to consider with themselves, at what time in 30 their Lives before, they took the Suspended Clergy to be the Men they now seem to be taken for? Did they at any time till just now, suspect them to be so fond of suffering for an empty and groundless Opinion ? They can best judge who were so lately in the same dangers with them, they acted then unanimously upon a Principle of Con- 35 science, but considering men know how impossible it is, for all men to have the same sense of things in such a juncture as this. And must those of the Church of England only, not be allowed to have tender Consciences? ' I perceive I am carry' d too far ; but who can forbear to be con- 40 cerned, to see some men lose their Charity, as fast as others are losing their Preferments? I believe the suspended Clergy as little regard the hopes as the fears of that Lay-Gentleman, who declares publickly and in Print, that he hojics they will meet xcith little compassion; they will excuse him his compassion, if he will but act with more Charity, and 45 in his cooler thoughts seriously reflect upon the ill treatment he has used towards a Bishop who would have been a Glory to the Church in any Age, and he and many more, are reserved by Providence for Blessings to the present Age, if we will not deprive our selves of them. Wc have seen two snatched away almost at the same time, let us so 5 THE NEW OATH. 691 lay it to Heart, as not to provoke God to send down upon us, those Judgements, which he is wont to deliver the Righteous from, by talcing them away to himself. ' These two good Bishops spent their dying Breath in recommend- 5 ing the Doctrines of Peace, and in following their Masters example, as far as it was possible for them, by bequeathing the Blessings of Peace and Unity to the Church ; which is the best Legacy that any Bishop could leave, though it has been called so in derision by one, whose scurrility nothing can escape, since it -has had the good luck to be I O mistaken by some for Wit. ... P. 50: 'If this be a Digression, . Sir, I hope it is a very excusable one, since occasions are so industriously sought for, to asperse the Suspended Bishops ; but what I have now said, is not so much to vindicate them, as to observe to you, that they have been slandered by him. For after J 5 the universal commendation and applause of the Kingdom, nothing could be added to compleat their Praises, but the Reproaches of such men as he. ' The Writer of the Letter observes, That King James has done more mischief by the divisions he has occasioned among us, than he could 20 have done by his Persecutions. And I beseech him, who raised these Divisions, they who desire only to enjoy their own Consciences in Peace, or those who fill the Nation with complaints, if a dying Bishop declares that he acted purely out of Conscience. What could tend more to the healing our Divisions than this, if men would but consider 25 it, and make a due use of it? But when this Gentleman must needs know, that his Lordship at the same time received the Holy Sacrament, at the hand of a Reverend Divine who has taken the Oath, to insi- nuate that he would hardly allow those who have taken the New Oath, to be so much as Out-lyers of the Church of England, is a thing, I con- 30 fess, that I can scarce reconcile to any degree of Charity. And can any thing inflame mens Minds, and widen our Divisions, more than such forced Interpretations of an Action which did so naturally tend to our Peace ? There was indeed great Reason to hope that the words of a Dying 35 Man just going to receive the Sacrament, would be the more credited, and make the deeper impression; for so good a Man could not be easily deceived himself, and at such a time it 's certain did not design to deceive others. Tho he doth the Bishop wrong to say he declared, that his not taking of the Oath was the great consolation he had at that time. His 40 Lordship declared, 'tis true, that he found much inward satisfaction from it, but he had all the Consolations besides, as great as so good a man could have when he came to dye. The comfort of having always stood firm to his Duty, the remembrance of a well spent Life here, and the joyful hopes of a better in Heaven. But it was then most requisite, 45 that he should particularly express his inward satisfaction as to this matter of the Oath, when Humour and Obstinacy, and any thing rather than Conscience, has been suspected to hinder Men from taking it ; when some men could not be allow'd to suffer with as good a Con- science, as others to avoid suffering. 'Twas then certainly the most CO proper, and the most seasonable and charitable thing a dying Bishop 692 THE NEW OATH. could do, to declare that nothing but Conscience was the cause of his refusal; and that he now enjoy 'd the peaceable fruits of Righteousness, in the testimony of a good Conscience for so doing. ' This raethinks should calm mens Tempers, or at least so far abate their Passions, as not to let them prosecute our Divisions into the 5 other World, and suffer neither the Living nor the Dead to be at rest. All who have a true concern for the Church, and a just zeal against our Divisions, and the Vnreasonableness of a new Separation, can never better employ their Zeal, than by taking this opportunity from the Solemn Protestations of two dying Bishops, to incline men to more 10 mild and favourable thoughts, and by using ali their interest and en- deavours to prevent that Deprivation which is much to be feared, will be of dismal consequence to this Church. To say nothing of the rest of the Clergy, if so many Bishops should be deprived', against whom there is not the least exception, but that they cannot take a New Oath, 1 nj who would be most of all caressed by those, that are now so much dis- pleased at them, if they would but be Forsworn: If others should be put into their Sees, who since worthy men will scarce be fond of being so preferred, must be much inferiour to them in all Qualifications, but that of taking an Oath; these things must of necessity lessen the 20 Reputation, and weaken the Authority of the Clergy, and in effect, ruin the Church, without any Schism or Separation. What could Papists do or wish more, than to deprive us of so many of the prin- cipal Guides and Fathers of our Church at once? Now we are upon a design of Comprehending other Protestants, shall we have no regard 25 for the Metropolitan himself, and so many Suffragan Bishops of our own Church? What great incouragement is there to be so active and 8ollicitous about a Comprehension, when they, to whose Care and Authority that chiefly belongs, must be excluded and deposed? When they, who in that solemn manner, and with that danger to themselves, 30 told King James, that they wanted no due tenderness towards Dissenters, hut were willing to come to such a temper, as should be thought fit, when that matter should be considered, and settled in Parliament, and Con- [vocation,] are now so far from being admitted into Parliament, or Con- vocation, that they are themselves called Dissenters, though not with 35 much tenderness by our Person of Quality. If it be expected from them, that they should be content to suffer as much from Protestanta now, as they were ready to undergo not much above a year since, from Papists ; yet what has the Church of England deserved, that it must be deprived of the benefit of their Government?... 40 P. 57: 'The same day in which hia Lordship made this Recognition and Profession, he afterwards made his Will and ordered a Clause to be inserted, declaring his stedfastness to the Church of England, as by Law established; for no worldly affair could divert him from that constant Zeal which he had for the Truth and Purity of Religion. 45 His care for the Church took up very much of his thoughts, and when he hail asserted her Doctrine, and had done his utmost towards the settlement of Truth and Unity, he with much satisfaction left her to his Protection, into whose hands he commended his own Spirit. His Faith towards God, his Charity towards all Men, and his cheerful 5$ jo. lake's death and character. G93 Patience under so terrible a Disease, was indeed admirable, when his dear Relations and Friends about him, flattered themselves with hopes of his Recovery, he would often say, that he knew the Symptoms were dangerous, and he believed mortal, yet as he was willing to dye, so hav- '5 ing lived in a constant preparation for Death, he was not at all dis- couraged at the sensible approaches of it, but took his final leave of his Lady, and of his two Sons, with the greatest presence of mind, as well as with all the Pious tenderness of the best of Husbands, and of Fathers. He said with such affection, as discovered an extraordinary lo degree of Charity, that he forgave all the World, and as became that humility which was so peculiar to him, he was pleased not only to give his Pardon and Benediction, but to ask forgiveness of all about him, for any thing wherein he might have offended them: Who returned all the thanks for his perpetual kindness and favours that their Tears 15 could express. Being asked whether the Exhortation in the Office of the Visitation of the Sick should be read, he answered, Fes by all means, he would have nothing omitted which might express his Humilia- tion and Repentance. When his Physicians came to him immediately after his receiving the H. Sacrament, he told them in a chearful Voice, 20 That he had note been under better hands than theirs. And at another time when the proper Remedies were used, which must needs be very painful in such Distempers, he only said, And is Life worth all this at threescore years and five ? 1 Thus he lay in much pain, but with wonderful Resignation of him- 25 self, wholly to the Divine Will, and with a clear use of his under- standing till Thursday, when he fell into a kind of dosing sleep, and about Four next morning there appeared a great change in him, tho he then repeated the Lords Prayer after his Chaplain who pray'd by him, but seem'd insensible before the Prayers were ended. Afterwards 30 he was observed to lift up his hands in Prayer to himself, but his Voice had failed him ; and from that time he lay in Convulsions strug- gling with Death, till he found his Passage into a better World, on Friday, Aug. 30. about Nine at night. ' I know, you, Sir, and all good men must heartily lament so great 3:5 a loss, -which always would have been great, but never greater than now. And it seems a sad indication of Gods wrath, that such men are taken away from us at a time when there is most need of them. But however it may please God to deal with a sinful People, we ought to bless his H. Name for his gracious mercy to him, and to us all in ;40 him who was never wanting to his Country in his Life, or at his Death, but has done his glorious part to save the Church twice in the space of one year. ' And as he was a publick good to the Nation, so was he a peculiar Blessing to all that had the happiness to be near him. He was of an 4c extraordinary courteous and generous Temper, always affable and easie of access, free and chearful in his Conversation, full of meekness and condescension, a great Encourager and Patron of Learning in others, which he possessed to so great a degree himself. For by long and con- stant study, most Controversies were become familiar to him, and by co the advantage of Books, and his own Observation, join'd with an ex- 694 jo. lake's character. cellent Judgement, he was very skilful and dextrous in business; and that experience which all men had of his Integrity and goodness did mightily facilitate whatever he undertook. He had successively many very considerable Preferments, but none of his own seeking. For he never was the man, that sollicited for any, but when they were offered, C did not decline an opportunity of being more useful in his Generation. He Preached frequently to the very time of his Suspension, and he was a constant Preacher for many years, and always much esteem'd. . This constant Blessing attended him, that he was a Peace-maker where ever he came, and he was so prudent, and so successful in all IO the wise and kind Methods of gaining upon obstinate men, that the worst Enemies of Episcopacy were oftentimes reconciled to the Order it self for his sake. And I may confidently say, he left himself as few Enemies as ever any Bishop did ; and indeed, it were hard if he should have left any, when his only business was to promote the peace and 15 benefit of Mankind. And this he did by condescending to their infir- mities, and by gentle and prudent ways, but never used any mean or unworthy compliance. He always maintained the height of his Cha- racter, and the Sacred Dignity of his Office, and stedfastly adhered to the Articles and Canons of the Church in all particulars. And that 20 lively sense of Religion, and conscientious Regard to his Duty, with that Candor and Charity which appeared in all his Actions, gained him a strange awe and reverence from those of a contrary Opinion. He was reverenced by all, but always most esteemed by those who best knew him. He was always popular, tho he never made it his 25 business to be so, and it was seldom his fortune to be of the popular side ; and he who was so obliging to all, yet durst displease even his Friends when God and Religion was the cause. ' He was of true English Courage, mild and peaceable, not easily mov'd, but sedate and undaunted; and he has been sometimes heard 30 to say, when Dangers were most threatning, That he thanked God he never much knew what fear was, when he was once satisfy'd in the good- ness of his cause: And till then, he never would ingage himself in any. His judgement of Persons and things was determined by their own right and worth, not by the success. He never thought the worse of 35 a despised and unbefriended cause, nor was ever discouraged under the most discouraging circumstances, but his Zeal was still then most vigorous, when he saw tho Church in most distress, and in most need of it. ' A settled firmness of mind carry 'd him through all the changes of 40 Fortune with the same calm and even temper; he was the same in the Tower, and at his Tryal, that he was in his own Falace at Chichester, always unalter'd and unconcern'd : Amidst the acclamations and ap- plauses of the whole Nation, he was still the same that he had been in his most retired and private condition, and made only this advantage 45 of it, to recommend the Duties of Obedience to God, and to the King, with the greater Authority. 'This he did in September 1688, soon after the Bishops Tryal, going a Visitation extraordinary throughout his Diocess, for that very pur- pose, as His Grace my Lord Archbishop of Canterbury had appointed, 50 JO. LAKES CHARACTER. 695 whose least intimations he never failed to observe. He took a long and expensive Journy, when he was very unfit for travel, being much afflicted with the Gout, that he might lose no opportunity to employ that esteem which the whole Kingdom had of his Merit, to the Glory 5 of God, and for the Interest of His Majesty. ' There is scarce a Gentleman in Sussex but can testify, with what Zeal he recommended to them Stedfastness and Perseverance in the Profession and Practice of the Doctrine of the Church of England; and particularly, in their Loyalty to the King. This he insisted upon, 10 that they must be ever Loyal, and by no means resist upon any account whatsoever, if they would be true to the Principles of the Church. ' This I say, Sir, the Gentlemen of that County well remember, who met hirn in the several parts of his Diocess, with that respect which J 5 wa3 wont to be payed to the Primitive Bishops. His Lordship was always exceedingly dear to them, and they to him, but his coming now among them, was like the return from banishment of St. Athanasius or St. Chrysostom. ' It must be confessed, that his Lordship lay under the same misfor- 20 tune with most of the Nobility and Gentry at that time, to have his Duty and Affection to the King misunderstood. But he was content to be Loyal, under the reproach of Disloyalty ; which is the greatest Instance of Fidelity that any Subject can give. ' He had a sober, and rational, and powerful sense of Religion, and 2 5 how despicable soever it might appear to the World, he still thought it worth the suffering for, he considered that it is more dear to God himself, than to the best and most zealous men : and that God is most willing and able to maintain it. But if it must be revived in a dege- nerate age, by the same sufferings by which it was at first propagated, 30 he was prepared to submit to the severest Methods of the Divine Pro- vidence ; and he could not imagine that it should make much for the Interest of Religion, to defend it against it self, against its own Doc- trine. He remembered whom we are. to follow, him who was meek and lowly, who did at first command all his Followers to take up the 3 5 Cross, and has given a Dispensation to none, at any time, to refuse it. 'But his Character will be best taken from S. PauVs words; For he was directly that Bishop whom the Apostle describes, blameless as the Steward of God, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to Wine, no Striker, not given to filthy lucre, but a lover of Hospitality, a lover 40 of good Men, sober, just, holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful Word, as he had been taught, that he might be able by sound Doctrine, both to exhort and to convince the Gainsayers. 'Thus, Sir, you have his full Character, the rest is an imperfect account of the late Bishop of Chichester, though perhaps not so short 45 as you expected it should be, unless it had been more exact. But I had no design to write His Lordships Life, any further than to shew, That being trained up from his Childhood in the way he should go, when he was old he did not depart from it, but feared the Lord and the King, and medled not with them that are given to change. 5 o ' The Vindication was needless, I confess, and tedious, but upon the 696 LAKE.

I could not write of His Lordship> in fewer words, for whilest I am writing to you of him, so long methinks I enjoy His Lordship's presence, and live over again those happy hours which we have formerly spent with him ; and you will not blame me, Sir, if I am desirous to recall as 5 much as I can, and to prolong that time now, which we always thought so short in the injoyment. And may the remembrance of his Doctrine, and the Imitation of his Example, revive and endear that time to us, till it be improved to a blessed Eternity with him in Heaven. I am l< 'SIB, ' Your Humble Servant.' POSTSCRIPT. ' It may, Sir, be a further satisfaction to know the sense which the late Lord Bishop of Worcester had of the New Oath; who made the same 15 profession in effect, that my Lord Bishop of Chichester did, though not ulloycther in so solemn a manner. I shall say little of that excellent Prelate, but the opinion which all men generally had of his Worth, and the Reverence with which he is always mentioned, cannot fail of rtndring his Judgment upon his Death- Bed, very considerable in tlus matter. 2 'His Lordship sent for a Reverend Divine, and after an hours dis- course concerning the Xtw Oath, and giving his Reasons why he could not take it, and expressing a great concern for the Clergy who were of another Opinion, and particularly for those of his oicn Dioccss, he con- cluded with these words, If my heart do not deceive me, and Gods 25 grace do not fail me, I think I could suffer at a Stake, rather than take this Oath. These words were spoken on the 23c/ of June, being the Lords Day, about six in the Afternoon, two days before he dy'd, when His Lordship had as entire use of his Reason, as ever he had in the best Slate of his Health. 30 ' It is very observable, that the only two Bishops who have dyed since the refusal of the Oath, have declared, When they had now done with this World, and Iiad no other expectations but of Death and Judgement, they refused it only upon a Principle of Conscience. And all who have any Charity or Conscience themselves, or the least respect for the Church 35 of England, must give great regard to the dying words of two such Bishops, in whom t/uir worst Enemies can find nothing to blame, but that which shall be their eternal Honour, that all tlie Temptations and Inducements which probably can happen in any Case, could never prevail with them to take an Oath against their Consciences.' 376; indexes to Luttrell and Burnet; MSS.

Gouge to establish schools in Wales and distribute Welsh bibles, testaments and The Whole Duty of Man (Calamy Ace. 10). He befriended Ri. Kennet, B.D., a noted tutor of C. C. C. C, ejected from East Hatly Cheshire: 'Soon after Mr. Kennet was 45 Silenc'd by the Act of Vniformity Mr. . . Stillingjleet assisted him in taking a capacious House at Sutton in Bedfordshire, where he set up a EDW. STILLINGFLEET. 699 private School, keeping a Conformist to teach it. Many Gentlemen (and some that were no Friends to the Nonconformists) committed their Sons to him. In some time the Schoolmaster left him, and he took the care of the School upon himself, and was conniv'd at ; the 5 neighbouring Gentry having a great esteem for him: And bis Wife's Son had a Licence and was his Usher. He was excellently qualify'd for this Office. He went to Church both Forenoon and Afternoon on the Lord's Day, and was there with the First' (Ibid. 118). Sam. Fownes ' was a Man of excellent Parts, and a good Scholar IO and had read much for his Time. He died Young. Dr ... Stilling- fleet had a great Respect for him, on the Account of his Parts and Learning' (Ibid. 751). Stillingfleet, with the bishops of Ely and Chester, wrote a preface to Jo. Humfrey's The Righteousness of God rereaVd in the Gospel, or an 1 5 impartial Enquiry into the genuine Doctrine of St. Paul, in the great Article of Justification. 4-to. 1697 (Ibid. 622). He was a friend of Jos. Truman of Clare hall, ejected minister of Cromwell Notts, who 'told Mr. Stephens the Night before he died, that Dr. Tillotson and Dr. Stillingfleet had cut out a great deal of Work 20 for him' (Ibid. 528; Contin. 697). 'Dr. Tillotson and Dr. Stillingfleet counted Mr. Boxcles [Edw. B. of Cath. hall, ejected from York] a very extraordinary Person. One from whom I have it, was told by the latter of them, that they desir'd to bring him into the Established Church, above any one Man in England. They spent a whole Af ter- 25 noon together upon him in London, but a little before the Act of Uni- formity took place, but could not prevail. His final Answer was ; / can easily do enough to lose my Friends, but I can never do enough to gain my Enemies ' (Contin. 933). See some comments on f-tillingfleet's charge 21 Oct. 1696 in Cala- 30 my's Life and Times 1. 373, 374. Dan. Williams and Ste. Lobb both appealed to him in a controversy among the dissenters in 1697, and he ' returned an answer with great frankness' (ibid. 394 397 J Nelson's Life of Bp. Bull, 1 7 13, 264275). He was obnoxious to James II. because of his opposition to the 35 Romish church (Patrick's Autobiogr. 122 seq.). On 14 Jan. 168J he with Tillotson, Tenison and others met ' to consult about such conces- sions as might bring in dissenters to our communion ' (ibid. 141). Bentley ( Works, ed.

But I was never 45 Amanuensis to his Lordship nor to any one else; neither did his Lordship ever make use of any Amanuensis . . I was first Tutor to his Lordship's son, and afterwards Chaplain to himself; and I shall always esteem it both my honour and my happiness to have spent fourteen years of my life in his family and acquaintance, whom even envy itself 46 700 EDW.

'Same to same, St James's 12 Jan. 169^ (ibid. 133): 'I left the Bishop pretty well at Worcester; but since my departure, he has had a severe fit of the Gout, which anguish was doubled by the sickness of his Lady, the best of women ; who, I fear, at this very moment is J 5 dying, or dead, of a dropsy.' Jo. Evelyn to Bentley, Wotton 20 Jan. 169^ (ibid. 136, 137): 'I am sorry to hear my Lord of Worcester is losing his Excellent Lady, and himself still under so painful an Infirmity, whose health ought to be precious to all the learned and pious of the Age. His late piece 20 against the Socinians, worthily reproving those audacious spirits who set up for the only Wits and Men of Reason, gives a reasonable Reproof to the Insolence of some, and Slothfulness of others, among the Sons of our own Clergy ; for I do not look upon the others as be- longing to our Church.' 25 Bentley to Evelyn 21 Oct. 1697 (ibid. 152): 'I thank God I have had a pleasant time of it in the Country, and left the Bishop of Wor- cester in pretty good health.' Same to J. G. Graevius, St. James's 25 Dec. 1697 (ibid. 156, 157) : 'Toto hoc tempore bimestri haesi Vigorniae, quae urbs c. fere M.

Mr Townley the keeper is employed to buy in stock at any rate. He lately purchased the large collections of Sir Simonds D'Ewes, and, what is more pity, of Bp.

Evelyn's Diary 7 May 1691: 'I went to visit the Archbishop of 4 Canterbury [Sancroft] yet at Lambeth. I found him alone, and dis- coursing of the times, especially of the new designed Bishops ; he told me that by no canon or divine law they could justify the removing the present incumbents ; that Dr. Beveridge, designed Bishop of Bath and Wells, came to ask his advice; that the Archbishop told him, though 45 he should give it, he believed he would not take it ; the Doctor said he would ; why then, says the Archbishop, when they come to ask, say Nolo, and say it from the heart ; there is nothing easier than to resolve yourself what is to be done in the case ; the Doctor seemed to delibe- rate. What he will do I know not, but Bishop Ken, who is to be put 704 WM. BEVERIDGE. out, is exceedingly beloved in his diocese ; and, if he and the rest should insist on it, and plead their interest as freeholders, it is believed there would be difficulty in their case, and it may endanger a schism and much disturbance, so as wise men think it had been better to have let them alone, than to have proceeded with this rigour to turn them 5 out for refusing to swear against their consciences.' Burnet (MS. Harl. 6584 p. 314 printed in Notes and Queries, Ser. 2. I. 22) gave at the time an account of this matter which he has not allowed to appear in his history : 'That see [Bath and Wells] had been offered to Beveridge, who is a IO man of great learning, a very practical preacher, and a devout man, and in the monastic way too superstitious and singular. He accepted of it, but he leaned much to the other side; and when he understood that Ken, who held that see, was resolved to continue iu possession, he afterwards refused it : he is a very weak man, and very rough, but 1 5 honest and sincere.' Stillingfleet wrote A Letter to Dr. B. on refusing the Bishoprkk of B. and W. When archdeacon of London he examined Hen. Wharton for dea- con's orders (D'Oyly's Life of Bancroft n. 117). He and Horneck ' had the chief direction of the religious societies, which began to be 20 formed in the reign of James II' (Macro in Wood's Ath. Oxon. IV. 531). Of his works the Thoughts on Religion had the honour of a place in Wesley's Christian Library (ed. 1827, xx. 349). His 'Disser- tation on the origin of monasteries ' is still in MS. St. John's Library H. 29. Several of his pieces have been translated into German, see 2? Georgii Bucherlexikon. The Synodicum sive Pandectce Canonum. 2 vols. Oxf. 1672 fol. is fully described in Fabric. Bibl. Gr. ed. Harles, xii. 217 223. Baker writes to Zach. Grey, Cambr. 5 Mar. 171^ (Masters 41) : ' If I meet with Dr Beveridge's Pandectce Canonum, I shall be sure to remember. 30 It begins now to be scarce and dear, and it is very valuable ; I have it not in my study, and indeed scarce any Books that are in our Library.' A most competent judge (H. F. Jacobson in Herzog's Encykl.) says of it: ' Ura das Griechische Kirchengeschichte hat er sich durch Heraus- gabe und Interpretation der Quellen verdient gemacht .... doch ist 35 Bev. minder gliicklich in der Entwickelung der Geschichte der altesten Rechtsquellen, wie insbesondere auch sein Codex canonum . . beweist.' Another work of Beveridge's has been largely used. ' Der Kirchen- geschichte hat er durch Instittdionum Chronologicarum libri duo una cum totidem arithmetical chronologicae libellis. Lond. 1669 und (ifter 40 gedruckt, wesentlich genutzt' (Jacobson). Jo. Hudson's Introductio ad Chronologiam. Oxon. 1691, 8vo. is an extract from it (Wood's Ath. Oxon. iv. 451). It. Sault's translation of Giles Strauchius Brevia- rium chronologicum (2nd ed. Lond. 171 1) is 'enlarged with all the use- fullest things . . . taken from Dr. Beveridge's Institutiones chronolo- 45 Kicae.' An edition of the Inst, was published at Utr. in 1734. 8vo.

Baker xxxiv. 446 4,50. A sum- mary of it, with an account of the Beveridge family, in Nichols' account of Barrow (Leicestersh. III. 1. 79, 80) : he gave Barrow vicarage, which 5 had improved [Willis' St Asaph 95] to St John's: in this clause, ordered to be read at every presentation to the living, he solemnly ex- horts the master and fellows to choose a proper person. He added to the stipend of the curate of Mountsorrell ; and gave 20 per an. to each place, that prayers might be read morning and evening every day, IO according to the liturgy of the church of England, in the chapel and parish aforesaid ; and 40s. to be divided equally, on the Eve of our Blessed Saviour's Nativity, amongst 8 poor women of Barrow, as the minister and churchwardens should agree ; regard being had especially to those who had been most constant at prayers, and at the sacrament 15 of the Lord's supper, the preceding year. ' And if it should so happen (which God forbid!) that the Common Prayer cannot be read in the church or chapel aforesaid, my will is that what should be given in either place for that, be in each place allotted to one chosen by the vicar of Barrow, to teach school and instruct the youth in the prin- 20 ciples of the Christian religion according to the doctrine of the church of England.' To the S. P. G. he bequeathed 100; his books to be placed in St. Paul's, as a foundation of a library for the bene6t of the city clergy.

Aet. 64.' CONTINUATION OF CATALOGUE OF BISHOPS. Mr Yate has a catalogue of bishops from the first, with their arms and some account of their lives. I have joined his materials with my own in the following brief summary. The arms may be seen 10 in Bedford's Blazon of Episcopacy. Ri. Osbaldistox, bp. of Carlisle aud London, consecrated 1747. Son of Ri. O. kt, born at Hunmanby York, educated in Beverley school, adm. pensioner 2 June 1707 under Edinundson and Lambert. His pedigree in Hunter's S. Yorkshire 11. 413. He was never scholar 15 here, as Mr Yate states after Carter. B.A. 171*, M.A. 1714, D.D. then fell. Pet. 1726. He was king's chaplain when he subscribed for a large paper copy of Spencer's De Legibus Hebr. 1727. Made dean of York 19 Sept. 1728 (Hist. Reg. and Hardy's Le Neve Hi. 127). Con- secrated bp. of Carlisle 4 Oct. 1747 at Lambeth, translated to London 20 Oct. 1762, died 13 May 1764 (Stubbs 116; Hardy ill. 244; 11. 305). Rector of Hinderwell (Nichols Lit. Anecd. v. 405). He corresponded with Zach. Grey (ibid. II. 534). When bp. of London, he made Jo. Jortin his domestic chaplain, prebendary of Harleston and vicar of Kensington (ibid. 569, 573 ; Lit. Illustr. Hi. 719). He also recommended 25 Ri. Hurd for preferment (Lit. Anecd. vi. 478) and appointed Caesar De Missy French chaplain to the king (ibid. III. 306). Buried in Fulham churchyard (ibid. ix. 505). Seeker calls him ' every way unequal to that station,' the see of London (Dr. Chandler's Life of Dr S. Johnson 197). He published some sermons (Darling). 30 1 As there are now 5 bps. living who were of this society, I shall give a short account of each, to complete the list of prelates to this time : another has been aiming at a mitre these 20 years ; and within these last 2 or 3 months has been tantalized with the prospect of Exeter, from the repeated accounts of the ill state of Rp. Keppel's 35 health. I mean Dr Ross, my old acquaintance, and who very well deserves the honour in many respects' (first written every respect). Wm. Cole (xlix. 312). Jo. Garxett, bp. of Ferns and Leighlin and Clogher. Con- secrated 1752. 40 Son of the Rev. Jo. Gamett, born at Lambeth, educated at Beverley school under Tatham, adm. pensioner 21 May 1725 aet. 16 under F.dmnndson. His brother Henry, also born at Lambeth and bred at IVverley, adm. same day. They were elected scholars 8 Dec, adm. 9 Dec. 1725, Henry on the nomination of the earl of Exeter, dec. Pratt, 45 John to a Gilbert scholarship, dec. [Fairfax] Stillingfleet. Their JO. GARNETT. 707 father was B.A. coll. Sidn. 169!}, M.A. 1696, who subscribes for Strype's Parker and Annals and Spencer's De Legibus Hebr. as rector of Siglestborne Yk.; as such he occurs 10 Sept. 17 14 (Nicolson Cor- respondence 425). Another brother, Barnard G., was fell. Sidn., D.D., 5 rect. of Snailwell and Feltwell, canon of Ely (Cambr. Chron. 30 Jan. 1768; The Topographer iv. 61; Gent. Mag. 1787, 745 a). Jo. Garnett migrated to Sidney, where he became fellow, B.A. 172^, M.A. 1732, B.D. 1739, D.D. by mandate 1752 ; elected lady Marg. preacher 4 July 1744 (Fisher's Fun. Serm., ed. Hymers, 102). In IO 1751 he went out chaplain to the duke of Dorset, Id. lieut. of Ireland ; was consecrated bishop of Ferns and Leighlin 12 Nov. 1752 (Todd's Deans of Canterbury 236; Cotton's Fasti 11. 340); translated to Clogher 4 Apr. 1758, and died in Dublin 1 Mar. 1782 aet. 73 (ibid. HI. 83). Eyton Butts rector of Snailwell, perp. cur. of Hadenhani I c and canon of Ely, resigned his English preferments to Barnard Garnett, and went to Ireland with the bp. who made him chancellor of Ferns ; he saved a leaden spire at Ely and paved the town (MS. Cole XVIII, 141 b). 'He was a pleasant, cheerful companion, and when Bishop Clayton, in the Irish House, proposed the abolition of the 20 Athanasian Creed, Bishop Garnet saluted him immediately in this jocose, though apostolical manner: Liberasti animam tuam, Domine' (Cole in Ackennan's Cambridge II. 278). For his works see Darling. Warburton writes to two different correspondents (Nichols Lit. Anecd. v. 215 ; Lit. Illustr. 11. 167) to this effect : ' Poor Job ! It was 25 his eternal fate to be persecuted by his friends. His three comforters passed sentence of condemnation upon him ; and he has been ex- ecuting in effigie ever since. He was first bound to the stake by a long Catena of Greek Fathers; then tortured by Pineda; then strangled by Caryl; and afterwards cut up by Wesley, and anatomized by 30 Garnet.' See Warburton to Hurd 29 Jan. 1757 (Letters, 1809, 236). Life of Phil. Skelton, ed Chalmers, 392 : ' Dr. Garnet, a prelate of great humility, and a friend to literature and religion. This bishop, though he had but one eye, could discover, as I am told, men of merit as well as some people with two eyes. Sensible that Mr. Skelton was 35 a man of worth and parts, he treated him with the respect such men deserve.' Ibid. 394: 'In 1759 * ne bishop of Clogher, without any solicitation, removed him from Pettigo to Devenish.' Ibid. 405, 406: 'In 1766 the bishop of Clogher promoted him again to the living of Fintona, ...worth at least 100 a year more than that of Devenish. 40 Neither Mr. Skelton, nor any one for hirn, asked the bishop for this or the other living; so that a regard for his merit was the sole principle that induced his Lordship to bestow these benefices suc- cessively upon him. . . . When Mr. Skelton visited his lordship on his promotion, he said to him, My lord, I return you thanks for your 45 kindness to me and for putting so icorthy a person in my room; but I know, the chief pleasure you enjoy is in being able to do good.' The remainder of the conversation shews the friendly footing 011 which Garnett lived with his clergy. See ibid. 429. Ibid. 459: 'In 1782 Mr Skelton was deprived by death of his old friend and patron the 5 O bishop of Clogher, who lived until he was above 90 . . . He had the 708 JO. GARNETT. SAM. SQUIRE. satisfaction of having promoted some worthy men of great merit, but little interest ; among whom . . is Dr Thomas Campbell, who has paid a just tribute of praise to him in the Philosophical Survey of Ireland. The bishop was a pious, humble, good-natured man, a generous en- courager of literature, kind to his domestics, and justly esteemed by 5 all those who had an opportunity of knowing his virtues.' Ibid. 491 : 'He entertained ... a grateful esteem and sincere affection for...Dr Garnet, . . who was orthodox in his belief and gentle and benevolent in his mind.' In 1754 Bp. Geo. Home published Spicilegium Shuchfordianum . . . TO Being some choice flowers of modern theology and criticism gathered out of Dr. Shuckford's supplemental discourse on the creation and fall of man. Not forgetting Bishop Garnet's Vatikra (Todd ibid.). ' A picture in the master's dining room . . Whitehall preacher, chap- lain to the duke of Devonshire' (?). Wm. Cole. 15 John Cradock, bp. of Kilmore, abp. of Dublin. Consecrated 1757. Son of the Rev. Wm. C, born at Donington Salop, at Trentham school under Hargreaves, adm. sizar under Edmundson 29 Apr. 1725 in his 17th year. Elected 8, adm. 9 Nov. 1725 scholar for bp. Dee 20 dec. Mro. Richardson. Afterwards feilow. Cole and Dr Cotton must be mistaken in calling him a native of Wolverhampton. B.A. 172I, M.A. 1732, B.D. 1740, D.D. 1749. His father was probably of Jesus coll. B.A. 169I, M.A. 1 701. Rector of Dry Drayton and afterwards of St. Paul's Covent Garden. Consecrated bp. of Kilmore 4 Dec. 1757 25 (Cotton in. 169); succeeded to Dublin by patent dated 5 Mar. 1772, died 10 Dec. 1778 (ibid. 11. 26). His younger brother Thomas of Qu. colL B.A. 1 73 J, M.A. 1737 was prebendary of Wolverhampton (ibid. 106). His nephews Thos. and Wm., also of St John's, both held preferments in Ireland (ibid. 106, 144, 173; in. 176; v. 118, 128). 30 His son, Fras. Cradock, born at Dublin, was admitted fell. com. of St John's from Trin. coll. Dublin (where he had been since 31 Oct. 1774) 13 Mar. 1775 set. 26 under Arnald; 'therefore the statement in the peerages that he was born 1762 must be incorrect' (Mr. C. H. Cooper). John Fras. C. graduated M.A. as nobleman 1777. An 35 eminent general, created lord Howden in the Irish peerage. He died in July 1839 (Nichols Lit. Illustr. vm. 39; Gent. Mag. N.S. xn. 310). 'Chaplain to the Duke of Bedford, who gave him a living near Stam- ford. When Hetherington took Farnham-Itoyal, he took Dry-Drayton also. Went as chaplain to Ireland with the duke. His mother had 4 been nurse to the duchess. Married, when bishop, Mrs St George, a widow.' Wm. Cole. Ri. St. George, son of col. St George, and stepson to the abp., a native of Dublin, was adm. both at Trin. coll. Dublin and at St John's (as fell. com. mi. 17) the same day as Fras. Cradock under the same tutor. 45 ' Dr Patrick Duigenan, in his scurrilous and severe pamphlet called Lachryma Acadcmire, or the present deplorable stale of Trinity College, Dublin, 1777, seems not to be quite satisfied with Abp. Cradock being one of the Visitors of the college, for having spoken rather JO. CRADOCK. SAM. SQUIRE. 709 favourably of the Provost John Hely Hutchinson, against whom the book was written. It was sent as a present from Ireland to every Master of a college in Cambridge about October 1777. By the book it appears, that discipline is at an end in that college, where one half 5 of the fellows are married' (Cole in Ackerman 11. 114, 115). The duchess of Bedford ' was the daughter of lord Gower, his original patron. ' Mrs St. George ' brought him a large fortune, but does not appear to have contributed in other respects to his happiness.' (Ackerman). IO See the titles of three separate sermons printed by him in Darling. Sam. Squire, bp. of St. David's. Consecrated 1761. Son of Sam. S. druggist, born and educated at Warminster Wilts, adtn. pens. 23 June 1730 aet. 17 under Williams; adm. Somerset scholar 11 July 1730 dec. Greenfield. Afterwards fellow. B.A. 173*, l S M.A. 1737, D.D. 1749, on occasion of the duke of Newcastle's installa- tion, to whom he was chaplain and private secretary. ' In this character, from an unlucky similitude of names, he was ridiculed by Dr. King in The Key to the Fragment, by the appellation of Dr. Squirt, apothecary to Alma Mater's (or the old lady's) steward.' [See on the Fragment, 20 Cooper's Ann. IV. -280]. 'His dark complexion procured him in col- lege conversation, and in the squibs of the time, the nickname of the Man of Angola'* (Chalmers). He was nephew to the learned wife of John Newcome, master of St. John's. 2 5 Vicar of Greenwich (Hasted's Kent, I. 34). Appointed by bp. Wynn, whose chaplain he was, prebendary of Wanstraw and archd. of Bath 21 May 1743; promoted to the deanery of Bristol 13 June 1760 (Hardy's Le Neve I. 164, 195, 224). Consecrated bp. of St. David's 24 May 1 76 1 (Stubbs 118). 20 A saying of Warburton's has been often repeated; when he 'was made a Bishop, there were two Expectants of his Deanery of Bristol : Mr. [Josiah] Tucker of Bristol, who had done many things in regard to Trade ; for which he was caressed by the people of Bristol ; Dr. Squire was the other, who got the Deanery. Warburton said, One 35 of them made Trade his Religion; the other Religion his Trade'' (Stukely in Nichols Lit. Illustr. ir. 55; Geo. Home ibid. 838; Hor. Walpole's Last Joum. 1. 21). Squire published works on classical, political and theological sub- jects. His edition of Plutarch's tract de hide et Osiride, 8vo. Cambr. 40 Univ. Press 1744, with Latin notes and an English version, is ' com- mendanda egregiis virorum doctorum correctionibus' (Wyttenbach's Index Editiontun. 4to. ed., I. xciii. n. 27; cf. Fabricius-Harles V. 221). In the Epistola ad Lcctorem Squire says: ' Bentleii Animadversiones ex ora Libri ejus ipse decerpsi, quern mecum, quae est humatiitate, com- ac municavit Ric. Bentleius nepos, cui supremae Voluntatis exequendae operumque postumorum curam commisit Patruus : Suas vero Notulas Marklandus ipse, Vir optimus et KpiTiKibraTos, rogatus mihi statim obtulit; unde inter ceteros illustres Scriptores, Lysiam puta, Demos- 710 SAM. SQUIRE. JO. GREEN. thenem, Philonem, et Maximum Tyrium Plutarchum etiam sibi in per- petuum devinxit'. Under the name of Theophanes Cantairigknsis he took part in the Deistic controversy against Thomas Morgan. His book bears the ambitious title : The ancient history of the Hebrews vindicated; or, 5 remarks on part of the third volume of the Moral Philosopher, wherein a particular account is given of the Shepherds in Egypt, and of the origin of circumcision in that country. 8vo. Cambr. 1741. War- burton writes to two correspondents in terms identically the same, betraying his injustice while he indulges that ferocious humour which 10 he never restrained when speaking of a sceptic: 'AH that I have seen of Morgan is in that pamphlet ; and for my part I am amazed that any one should think it worth while to answer the most sense- less and abandoned scribbler that ever came from Bedlam or the Mint. It seems Mr. Chandler either has or will answer him, being provoked k and challenged to it by Morgan ; who gets his bread by this infamous practice' (Nichols Lit. Illustr. II. 825; Lit. Anecd. v. 569). Squire is said to have ' sought out and promoted the friendless and deserving, in preference frequently to powerful recommendation'; it is to be regretted that he chose Wm. Dodd for his chaplain, and pre- 20 ferred him to a prebend. He was F.R.S. and F.S.A. and an active member of both societies. His library was sold by auction in 1767; he left in MS. a Saxon Grammar compiled by himself (Chalmers; Gent. Mag. xxxvi. xlii ; Nichols Lit. Anecd. 11. 348 351; ill. 637; Eur. Mag. lvi. 87; see also Ayscough Catal. MSS. Brit. Mus. 752). 25 For his works see Nichols; Darling; Bodl. Catal. III. IV. He died 7 May 1766. 'Bp. Squire's Life I have drawn up and entered in my Vol. 26 p. 160. If I have leisure and room, I may connect both accounts and bring them into this volume.' Wm. Cole. 30 Jo. Green, bp. of Lincoln. Consecrated 1761. Jo. Green, son of Jo.

C.C.C.C. 241) : 'This is incorrect, as Dr. Green's Considerations on the expediency of making, and the manner of conducting the late regulations at Cambridge, is more properly an answer to the above pamphlet, of which the author was not known, but suspected to be Mr. [Phil.] Allen, fellow of St. John's'. See Cooper 10 Ann. iv. 280; Nichols Lit. Anecd. ix. 668. Cole continues : 'His brother, a miller at Beverley, one of whose daughters he mar- ried to the most ungain and unpromising to look at, of all mortals, Mr Dowbiggin ; yet he was immediately preferred to two livings and a 15 hospital at Northampton.

He was usher for a year at Lichfield school, after Johnson had left (Lamb 245 ; Boswell, ed. 1851, p. 8 a). Vicar of Hinxton (Lamb 30 244) which he held with Burrow Green and the bursarship (ibid.). He was allowed a year of grace 28 June 1738 [Conclusion Book). Regius prof, of divinity 1749 56 (Hardy's Le Neve in. 656).

IV. 277 ; Gage's Thingoe 18). Nominated dean of Lincoln 28 Sept. 1756 (Hardy II. 36); collated to the prebend of Thorngate 28 Oct. 1756 (ibid. 224) ; succeeded in both by Jas. Yorke Jan. 1762.

At Lichfield he became the friend of Bp. Newton, who says (Life ed. 18 16, p. 37) that he filled the see of Lincoln 'with more ability and dignity than any of his predecessors since Bishop Gibson.' 45 Ibid. 205 seq. ' Their friendship continued for more than fifty years unviolated and unvaried.' Newton asked him for a prebend for their common friend Seward of Lichfield. The reply, characteristic of the age, was : ' at present he stood engaged eleven deep to the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Hardwick and their friends..,. 712 JO. GREEN. ' Bishop Green was a very good scholar, and had an elegant pen in Latin and English, but he was too lazy and indolent to write much ; he published only a few occasional sermons, and two letters to the Rev. Mr. Berridge and Mr. Whitfield against the Methodists. His charges to his clergy were much commended, and it is to be lamented that he did 5 not prepare and order these and some other pieces for publication. He was always a prudent manager and ceconomist, or he could not have made the provision that he did for two nephews and four nieces, with some bequests to charitable uses.' He died suddenly at Bath 25th Apr. 1779. Ibid. 207: 'On Saturday IO evening he had his party at cards as usual, breakfasted as usual on Sunday morning' and fell dead in his chair. See Nichols' Poems VIII. 270. He was elected master of C. C. C. C. 18 June 1750 on the recom- mendation of abp. Herring ; the electors received the nickname Cappa- 1 5 docians for surrendering their freedom of choice (Nichols Lit. Illustr. vi. 794 ; Lamb 240 243). He was a benefactor, and augmented the dividends by an improved system of fines (ibid. 247, 248 ; Nichols Lit. A need. vm. 646). There is in the lodge a small wax likeness of Green, taken when he was bishop (Lamb 250). His college nickname was 20 Gamwell (Nichols Lit. Anecd. vm. 581, 622). There was a party in Corpus which professed great abhorrence of Green's ' Yorkshire tricks in elections ' (Nichols Lit. Illustr. vi. 795 797)- He belonged to the ' liberal ' party. John Jebb (Life by Disney, 7) 25 preached an ordination sermon at Buckden 25 Sept. 1763. In 1772 Green alone of the bishops voted in favour of a repeal of the corporation and test acts. This was not forgotten by the king, who is reported to have rejected ' a suggestion for Green's promotion in the words, Green, Green, he shall never be translated'' (Dyer's Life of Rob. Robinson 78, 30 cf. Nichols Lit. Anecd. VIII. 581). He was strongly in favour of legal- ising marriage with a deceased wife's sister (Dyer 84). He made Edmund Law a prebendary (Nichols Lit. Anecd. 11. 67). He was a friend of Jo. Jones of Wei wyn (ibid. vm. 380) ; and of Michael Tyson, his contemporary at St. John's (ibid. 204, 643). He gave a living to 35 Tim. Neve (ibid. vi. 100).

Anecd. vm. 647, 648): 'Here, as Master, and afterwards Benefactor, he deserves a distinguished niche ; but, as 5 a public literary character, he would make but a sorry figure between Warburton and Pearce. Two or three Party Pamphlets ; a dozen Ser- mons, whose object was rather this world than the next; two Letters against the Methodists, containing very little learning, but much genteel irony, the argument incomplete, and dropped when he became IO Bishop, form the whole of his literary pacquet.... Some of the Dia- logues of the Dead, published by [Wm.] Weston, Rector of Campden. . were written by the Bishop.' Charles Godwyn of Baliol, who be- queathed to Oxford university a collection of coins and a well-chosen library, writes 21 July 1762 (ibid. 229) : 'Dr Green., has acquitted 1 5 himself very well in two pamphlets called, The Principles and Prac- tices of the Methodists considered.' He was a writer in the Athenian Letters (ibid. in. 222; Lit. Illustr. 1. 33). Geo. Ashby (Lit. Anecd. n. 566) says that Green designed a life of Erasmus when at St John's ; ' but his election to the mastership of Ben'et, and the satisfaction he felt in knowing that it was undertaken by Dr Jortin, put a stop to his design.' He helped Dr Ducarel in his work on the endowments of vicarages (ibid. VI. 388). He refused to accept Tho. Simpson's collec- tions for a history of Lincoln cathedral, but urged Sam. Peggeto under- take the work (ibid. 36, 95, 244) ; at his suggestion Pegge commenced 2 5 the life of Grosseteste (ibid. 243). He collated Pegge to a prebend (ibid. 240).

One of the name was rector of Hurstpierpoint 4 Febr. 1737,' on his death a successor was appointed 9 Sept. 1784 (Sussex Archozol. Coll. xi. 76). For some time he kept a private school at Stanwix Cumberland. 40 Afterwards he went to Eton as tutor to Lord Warkworth, an appoint- ment which had been declined by Theophilus Lindsey (Belsham's Life of Lindsey ed. 2, 7 ; Ackerman's Cambridge 11. 1 15). Rector of Kirkby Wiske, appointed by the duke of Northumberland to the rectory of Ellesden in 1762 (Christian's Mag. in. 143). When the duke went to 45 Ireland as lord lieut., he wished to take Theophilus Lindsey as chap- lain; on his refusal, he took Dodgson (Belsham n). His patent as bishop of Ossory is dated 18 July 1765 and he was consecrated at St. Werburgh's church Dublin 11 Aug. 1765 (Cotton's Fasti 11. 287).

Appointed by the bp. of Ely one of the commissioners to receive depositions on Bentley's second trial (Monk's Life of Benlley II. 338). re Appointed by the university to the rectory of Graystock Cumb. in 1737, the patron being a Roman Catholic : but he did not settle there till after a lawsuit of two years' continuance. He retained this living to his death (Nichols Lit. Lllustr. v. 112; Paley). Here he married Mary, the daughter of Jo. Christian Esq. of Unerigg; 'a lady whose 20 character is remembered with tenderness and esteem by all who knew her' (Paley). Collated to the archdeaconry of Carlisle 21 Apr. 1743 ; his successor was collated 2 Mar. 1756 (Hardy's Le Neve III. 250). In 1 746 he went to reside at Salkeld, a village on the river Eden, the rectory of which is annexed to the archdeaconry (Paley). 25 In 1754 Bp. Keene contrived that Law should succeed him as master of Peterhouse, and Law soon after resigned his archdeaconry to Keene's brother-in-law Venn Eyre (Nichols Lit. Anecd. rv. 323; Paley). Law remained master to his death. Vicechancellor 1755. From 1760 1769 he held the office of protobibliothecarius, an 30 honorary post created for Conyers Middleton, and held by four heads in succession between 1750 and 1797; it was 'a situation which, as it procured an easy and quick access to books, was peculiarly agreeable to his taste and habits' (Paley). In 1773 he tried to induce H. A Schultens to make a catalogue of the Cambridge oriental MSS. (Glasius Godgeherd Nederland in. 323). He writes to Bowyer, 26 Apr. 1770, about a supposed MS. of the fragments of Ennius (Nichols Lit. Anecd. iv. 350). In 1762 his wife died, leaving 11 children. He next 'received several preferments, which were rather honourable expressions of re- aq gard from his friends, than of much advantage to his fortune' (Paley). Fred. Cornwallis, his pupil at Christ's, afterwards abp., collated him 3 Febr. 1763 to the archdeaconry of Stafford and to the prebend of Sandiacre in Lichfield cathedral ; these preferments he resigned early in 1769 (Hardy's Le Neve I. 573, 625; Paley). His old ac- 45 quaintance, bp. Jo. Green, collated him to the prebend of Empingham in Lincoln cathedral 21 May 1764, which he resigned 1769. The prebend was designed for Caleb Parnham of St John's; and it was not so valueless as Paley supposes; for 'a corpse, belonging to his KDM. LAW. 715 prebend, fell soon after he was collated to it' (Nichols Lit. Anecd. I. 628; Hardy ir. 149). From 1 764 to 1 769 he held the Knightbridge professorship of moral theology. 5 The duke of Newcastle, ' to whose interest, in the memorable con- test for the high-stewardship of the university, he had adhered in opposition to some temptations' (Paley), procured his presentation 7 Aug. 1767 to the 12th stall at Durham (Hardy ill. 320; Paley). On 24 Febr. 1769 he was consecrated bp. of Carlisle, on the 10 spontaneous recommendation of the duke of Grafton chancellor (Paley; Hardy in. 245 ; Cole in Brydges Restituta iv. 429 ; Stubbs 1 19). He was succeeded in the stall at Durham by John Ross (Nichols Lit. Anecd. iv. 500). He had also procured from Jodrell the option of Dr. Denne's arch- 15 deaconry of Rochester (ibid. III. 213). When bp. of Carlisle he still resided at Cambridge, but only twice omitted spending the summer months in his diocese at Rose Castle, where Wm, Paley usually accompanied him as chaplain (Meadley's Life of Paley, ed. 2, 58, 59). 'It was,' says Paley, 'a situation with 2 which he was much pleased, not only on account of the natural beauty of the place, but because it restored him to the country, in which he had spent the best part of his life. In 1787 he paid this visit in a state of great weakness and exhaustion; and died at Rose about a month after his arrival there, on August 14, and in the 25 eighty -fourth year of his age. ' The life of Dr. Law was a life of incessant reading and thought, almost entirely directed to metaphysical and religious inquiries ; but the tenet by which his name and writings are principally distinguished, is, " that Jesus Christ, at his second coming, will, by an act of his 30 power, restore to life and consciousness the dead of the human species; who by their own nature, and without this interposition, would re- main in the state of insensibility to which the death brought upon mankind by the sin of Adam had reduced them. "...No man formed his own conclusions with more freedom, or treated those of others 35 with greater candour and equity. He never quarrelled with any person for differing from him, or considered that difference as a sufficient reason for questioning any man's sincerity, or judging meanly of his understanding. He was zealously attached to religious liberty, be- cause he thought that it leads to truth ; yet from his heart he loved 4 peace. But he did not perceive any repugnancy in these two things. There was nothing in his elevation to a bishopric which he spoke of with more pleasure, than its being a proof that decent freedom of inquiry was not discouraged. 1 He was a man of great softness of manners, and of the mildest 45 and most tranquil disposition. His voice was never raised above its ordinary pitch. His countenance seemed never to have been ruffled ; it preserved the same kind and composed aspect, truly indicating the calmness and benignity of his temper. He had an utter dislike of large and mixed companies. Next to his books, his chief satisfaction was 47 1G EDM. LAW'S CHARACTER. in the serious conversation of a literary companion, or in the com- pany of a few friends. In this sort of society he would open his mind with great unreservedness, and with a peculiar turn and sprightliness of expression. His person was low, but well formed ; his complexion fair and delicate. Except occasional interruptions by the gout, he 5 had for the greatest part of his life enjoyed good health ; and when not confined by that distemper, was full of motion and activity. About nine years before his death, he was greatly enfeebled by a severe attack of the gout, and in a short time after that, lost the use of one of his legs. Notwithstanding his fondness for exercise, he re- 1 o signed himself to this change, not only without complaint, but with- out any sensible diminution of his cheerfulness and good humour. His fault was the general fault of retired and studious characters, too great a degree of inaction and facility in his public station. The modesty, or rather bashfulness of his nature, together with an ex- 15 treme unwillingness to give pain, rendered him sometimes less firm and efficient in the administration of authority than was requisite. But it is the condition of human nature. There is an opposition be- tween some virtues, w T hich seldom permits them to subsist together in perfection. Bishop Law was interred in the cathedral of Carlisle, 20 in which a handsome monument is erected to his memory, the in- scription on which is as follows. Columnse hujus sepultus est ad pedem EDMUNDUS LAW, S. T.

Obiit Aug. xiv. mdcclxxxvit. 35 ^Etat. lxxxiv.' ' His portrait, painted by Mr Itomney, and engraved in mezzotinto by W. Dickinson in 1777, is a very correct likeness' (Meadley 364). It may be fairly said of Law that few Cambridge men of his time deserved so well of the university. He took part in perhaps the 40 most extensive classical work which Cambridge has produced, the edition of Sleph. T/ies.; he did much to revive moral and theological studies here, when they were sinking into their long sleep, and his work was continued by his son John and that son's colleague Paley ; he promoted the establishment of examinations, and was rewarded 45 by the brilliant success of his sons. He obtained a doctor's degree by a real discussion of a controverted point. When a bishop he did not, like Pretyman-Tomline and so many others (see Gilb. Wakefield's Memoirs), abandon the principles of religious liberty which he pro- EDM. LAWS ACQUAINTANCE. 717 fessed in his youth : and when head of a college, he still found leisure to study and also to teach, both by word of mouth and through the press. Law's acquaintance, during his first residence at Cambridge, was 5 principally with Jortin, Waterland and John Taylor (Paley). Jortin thought the question of an intermediate state ' of no import- ance ; ... for himself he differed from Law, whom he had found in this and many other controverted points, invincibly attached to his own opinions' (Nichols Lit. Anted, II. 728). 1 o For many years Law maintained a philosophical correspondence with David Hartley (ibid. 69). Jer. Markland had a high regard for him, and accepted pecuniary aid from him in 1766, at the same time that he refused a liberal offer of abp. Seeker's {ibid. IV. 290). I c Other friends were Dan. Watson, who was also intimate with Warburton, Sterne and lord Lyttleton, and was honoured by the patronage of Butler (ibid. vnr. 343); Dr. Tho. Edwards of Clare, translator of the Psalms, editor of Theocritus, author of a dissertation On the absurdity and injustice of religious bigotry and persecution. 20 1767 8vo. 'Their sentiments were congenial, and their pursuits similar, being principally devoted to the prosecution and promotion of Sacred Literature' (ibid. IX. 515); Dr Disney, his chaplain and biographer, to whom we are indebted for memoirs of A. A. Sykes, Jo. Jebb, Jo. Jortin, T. B. Hollis etc. (Nichols Lit. Illustr. VI. 481 ; 25 Ann. Biogr. 1818, 50); Jo. Jones of Welwyn, a diligent collector of anecdotes of bp. Law amongst others, and zealous opponent of subscription, whom Law introduced to Fras. Blackburne (Nichols Lit. Anecd. 1. 591, 594, 628, 630; 11. 70; in. 15); Jo. Jefferson, for whom he procured a fellowship at Peterhouse (Lit. Illustr. V. 238); his re- 10 lation Jos. Robertson (Lit. Anecd. III. 501). Fras. Blackburne, author of The Confessional, writes to Warburton 26 Feb. 1 75 1 : ' Dr Law I have personally known as one of the kindest of friends and honestest of men for 30 years,' their intimacy having begun when they were undergraduates (Life xxii, xxiii). -55 To Blackburne Law wrote in Aug. 1750, wishing him joy of his appointment to the archdeaconry of Cleveland, ' as it will give him frequent opportunity of indoctrinating his brethren in those parts, and may add somewhat to his authority in promoting the good work of Reformation in which he is so happily engaged' (ibid. 16 ; Black - 40 burne's Life xii). Blackburne defended, against P. S. Goddard and others, Law's opinions on the state of the soul between death and the resurrection, and published in 1765 a Historical View of the con- troversy. Sam. Clarke's reasoning, in his introduction to The Scrip- ture Doctrine of the Trinity, a MS. half sheet of Law's, and the 45 liberal concession in Art. VI. of the Church of England, induced Black- burne to qualify himself by subscription to hold his archdeaconry and the prebend of Bilton (Nichols ibid. 17 ; Life xxviii, xxxi). When, in 1 756, Jo. Towne of Clare hall in his Free and Candid Examination of the principles advanced in [Bp. Sherlock's] ...Sermons 472 18 LAW. WARBURTOX. BLACKBURXE. lately published, assailed Law for reviving 'the old exploded hypothesis of the sleep of the soul,' Blackburne defended his friend in Remarks on Dr Warburton's Account of the Sentiments of the early Jeics con- cerning the Soul [Works II. 261]. Warburton seems to have been long jealous. He writes 10 Apr. 5 1742 : "The provocation Law has given is intolerable. I saw it but by accident' (Nichols Lit. Anecd. II. 153). Again 22 Sept. 1751: ' Our friend Browne [Jo. B. of St John's] is now on a visit . . at Mr Geo. Lyttelton's... Dr Law takes this opportunity to visit his friend the bp. of Litchfield. Which will prove the better Patron, the IO Layman or the Archpriest, for an even wager ? And you shall choose your side. I think they might as well have gone to Hell (I mean the Classical Hell) to consult Tiresias in the ways of thriving. God help them ! for they are a couple of helpless creatures in the ways of this world J and nothing to bear their charges but a little honesty' 15 (ibid. 71). Again Apr. 1753: 'Your reflexions on poor Law please me for your own sake... But what are fifty years to a man whose studies have never been occupied upon man ; the only study from whence true wisdom is to be got ! For, Whether in Metaphysics at a loss, 20 Or wandering in a wilderness of moss, 'tis pretty much the same for all improvements in life. Hence, in his speculations, this poor man has been hurried from extreme to ex- treme. One while persecuting Dr MiddletoE, at another time writing Theses ten times more licentious and paradoxical than the Doctor's. 25 And now at fifty ! what a miserable thing, to have his head turned about a mastership : of which, by the way, he is not half so fit as Sancho Panza was for his government' (ibid.). Again 30 June 1753: ' Our friend, little Brown, seems to have been much pleased with the observation I communicated to him about poor Law's folly' (ibid. 212). 30 Blackburne shared law's opinion respecting an intermediate state, and wrote, but did not at once publish, a reply (1) to Queries to the Rev. Dr. Law, relative to what he . . advanced on the soul of man and a separate state, by Dr. Thos. Morton rect. of Bassingham, 1757 ; (2) to Jo. Steffe's Five Letters 1757, and Two Letters, 1758 ; (3) to the 35 Sociuian minister Caleb Fleming (Life xxix xxxi). The Confessional ' lay by him [Blackburne] in manuscript for some years. He had communicated his plan to Dr. Edmund Law, who en- couraged him greatly in the progress of it, and appears by many letters in the course of their correspondence to have been extremely impatient 40 to have it published ' (ibid, xxxii). ' Dr. Law was the only person who knew of The Confessional for some years, and indeed actually sug- gested the title of it while the work was yet in embryo, at least ten or eleven years before its publication' (ibid, lxxxviii). He spoke of the published book in a high strain of panegyric (ibid, xxxiv). When 45 Blackburne' s Proposals for an Application to Parliament, for relief in the matter of Subscription, were circulated, a friend wrote to him 16 May 1771 : 'I gave him [Law] the Proposals; we read them as we walked : from the manner of his reading I soon was able to divine LAW. WARBURTON. BLACKBURNE. 719 his sentiments. In short he immediately and most cordially wished us success... I observed that his Lordship was not made privy to it, in order that he might better answer any questions from Lambeth or elsewhere. He answered, that if such questions were put to him, 5 lie should tell them, he approved the scheme, and should think hardly of those who endeavoured to obstruct it; that he would upon every occasion support it though single, that he should gladly attend the Parliament next winter, and that he now had a new reason to rejoice in being made bishop ' (ibid, xl, xli). 10 When Peckard, afterwards master of Magd. coll., was compelled by abp. Seeker, as a condition of receiving a dispensation as a pluralist, to subscribe certain articles and to promise to abstain from writing on the intermediate state, Law wrote to Blackburne ' Peter Peckard has escaped out of Lollard's Tower with the loss of his tail ' (ibid, xliii, *5 xciv cvii). Tne origin of Warburton's attack on Law in the Divine Legation, ed. 1765, is shewn at length ibid, xliv xlvi, cviii cxviii. In 1746 Warburton wrote to Law : ' The hint you are so good as to give me of the natural mortality of the human mind pleases me extremely, as I 20 find my notions confirmed by one for whose judgement I have the highest regard.' Warburton afterwards denied the existence of such a letter, and when supplied with a copy, in 1 75 1, explained it away. 'I took my [D. D.] degree in 1749,' sa y 8 Law, 'when he (Dr. W.) changed sides.' Law's thesis, which gave great offence, was to the 2 5 effect: ' Non datur status medius inter mortem et resurrectionem.' On 9 Sept. 1 765 Law writes to Blackburne respecting ' the very extraor- dinary author of that most empirical piece of incoherence, stiled the Divine Legation? 'As he is always very nimble at calling names, he compliments the 3 scripture doctrine of man's mortality with the title of Sadducean Sophistry, stiling those who hold it, in his random way of ribaldry, Semipagan, because it is the very reverse of what used to be held in pagan systems, and middle-men, because they do not hold a middle state.' See Blackburne's Review of some passages in the last edition of 35 the Divine Legation, with a defence of the Remarks against the objec- tions of Caleb Fleming (Works II.). With Law Blackburne rejected ' Dr. Clarke's theory of the eternal relations and fitnesses of things, and along with that his demonstration a priori of the moral attributes of God ' (Lije lxxvi). He early adopted 40 the opinions on the term soul, and the state of death described in Scrip- ture, which Law propounded in the appendix to his Considerations on the theory of religion [ibid, lxxvii). His Historical view of the controversy concerning an intermediate state, one of the few monographs on the history of doctrine which our litera- 45 ture can boast (Works III.), is still of interest. A letter from Law to Blackburne, 4 Mar. 1775, shews that several bishops at that time were willing to consider proposals for widening the terms of communion (ibid, xc) : Bp. Lowth ' inquired whether your Charges were published. That '20 EDM. LAW. JOHN JONES. question I could not resolve, but offered to lend him them when they were returned from Ely, where they were last, and are now, with a worthy liberal layman, Dr. Heberden, who does more service to the cause than all our bench, though some have offered to confer with me very freely upon such subjects.' 5 In the latter part of their lives, a coolness existed between Law and Blackburne (Meadley's Life of Paley, ed. 2, 357). Benj. Dawson, a leading opponent of subscription, appended to his Moyer lectures 1765 Two tracts relative to an intermediate state, in which he upholds Law's opinions (Nichols Lit. Illustr. vi. 861, 862). 10 Law's exercise for the D.D. degree, 1749, was more of a bona fide vindication of unpopular opinions which he honestly held, than was usual even then, when our higher degrees had not yet lost their value. He maintained the sleep of the soul (Paley). ' Quaestiones die Martis Jan. 31 [1745], discutiendae, sic se habent. Status animarum in inter- 1 5 vallo mortis alque resurrectionis agentium aliquid vel smtientium neque ex sacris Uteris nee ratione colligi potest. Religio Christiana non minus est credibilis ex eo quod omnibus non innotescitJ 1 It is instructive to compare his treatment with that of Paley, Whis- ton, and J. H. Newman. 20 John Jones writes, 2 Febr. 174I, in Nichols Lit. Anecd. I. 594 : 'Let me tell you as a friend and under the rose, that some of the old Dons at Cambridge were much displeased with his Theses ; . . and one of the Heads actually refused to sign his paper of recommendation for his degree.' Jones was himself present (ibid. n. 69, 70): 'Dr. [The] 25 Parne, the Moderator pro tempore, was his opponent, who (I believe) was foiled... One great Doctor (Head of a great College) refused to sign his testimonial, saying he did not like either his person or his doctrine; yet afterwards was reconciled, when Law became head of St Peter's college, and made him frequent visits.' Yes, said Law, we begin now, jq though contrary to my expectation, and without my seeking, to be pretty thick. [Mark the early use of the word in this sense]. 'A certain great Author, who did not at all know him, nor his character, said that he must be a wicked man for proposing such an opinion.. ..Abp. Potter disliked his doctrine about inspiration and reproved him. War- 35 burton told him, lie disparaged the Church, by which he got his bread. Abp. Herring on hearing of his Thesis, . . said to him, 1 neither justify nor condemn you. If your doctrine be right, I am no loser; if wrong, I am but as I was When, in going his rounds to the Heads of Houses, presently after his keeping this act, he came to Dr. [Edm.] 40 Castle,... he said to him in his blunt and honest manner, / knoio that this is reckoned a Socinian tenet; but J believe you deserve the degree, and will readily sign your testimonial.^ John Jones published in 1749 Free and Candid Disquisitions relating to the Church of England, containing suggestions for a revision of the 4 c prayerbook, which were approved by Law and roused an eager contro- versy for a time (ibid. 1. 593, III. 1 5). He describes Law as ' a gentleman of excellent parts, extensive learning, great integrity, and of a most sweet, benevolent and Christian EJL>M. LAW A REEOKMEK. 721 disposition ; very modest, free and open in conversation, devoid of ceremony.' What follows could even then be said of very few heads of colleges : ' On Sundays, in the afternoon, he instructed the young men of his College, designed for orders, in the original language, sense 5 and design, of the New Testament, and of the Old in the Hebrew ' (ibid. II. 69, 70). On 10 Nov. 1773, Jo. Jebb, the reformer of Cambridge education, wrote (Disney's Memoirs of Jebb, 56): ' the bishop of Carlisle preached a noble sermon on November the 5th, in which he shewed, that the 1 spirit of popery was not peculiar to popish countries ; that spiritual tyranny consisted in imposing other articles, as terms of communion, than what Christ had given ; that religious liberty was too valuable a right to be complimented away ; and that every effort to oppress con- science should be opposed. In short, no petitioner would have wished 15 him to say more.' When on the 23 Nov. Jo. Wilgress, proctor, 'at- tacked the latitudinarians, and maintained that the liberty of private opinions rent the church,' he was scraped and hissed (ibid. 57). Gilb. Wakefield (Life, ed. 2, 1. 93, 94) was 'one of the offending gallery;' and also heard Law's sermon, who 'acquitted himself with an 20 elocution, audible, animated and distinct, beyond the exertions of most young men ; and displayed, with the utmost clearness and conviction, the imperfections of our^rs^ reformers, and of their reformation.' Law acted with his son John Law, Jebb, Paley, and the other pro- moters of annual examinations in 1774 (Meadley, ed. 2, 95). On 28 2 5 Oct. 1774 he was in the minority in favour of subjecting noblemen and fellow commoners to examination (Disney's Memoirs of Jebb, 79). When an address in favour of the American war was carried 24 Nov. 1775 after opposition in both houses (Cooper's Ann. IV. 380, 381), Law and others 'opposed it so much, that it was carried by a -}0 small majority, and was so whittled down, that the king could not be pleased' (Hor. Walpole Last Journ. T. 525). On 15 Jan. 1783 Mi. Lort writes (Nichols Lit. Illustr. vn. 443): ' the Bishop of Carlisle made me a morning visit lately, and appeared to be in very good health and spirits.' 35 On 2 Febr. 1787 bp. White writes (Memoirs of the Prot. Episc. Church of America 156) : 'the very aged bishop of Carlisle, in whom we saw the wreck of one of the first scholars of the age.' On 9 April 1787 Mi. Lort writes (Nichols ibid. 482) : 'Carlisle does not go to the House, but he is just recovered from an illness that Dr. 4 Heberden declared he never knew any person to get over.' His eldest son, John, bp. successively of Clonfert, Killala and Elphin (Cotton's Fasti IV. v.). When Tancred student of Christ's, he wrote an English copy of verses in the Cambridge Gratulatio on occasion of the peace of Fontainebleau, sign. Aa 2 (see Cooper's Ann. IV. 327). In 45 1766 he was senior medallist and second wrangler. He and Paley by their diligence and ability as tutors procured for their college a great reputation ; Paley has recorded their friendship in the dedication of Horae Paulinac (see the interesting account of their reforms in Mead- 722 edil law's family and writings. ley's Life of Paley, ed. 2, 54 seq., 66 seq., 95, 103, 106, 108, 109, 116, 117, 124 seq., 189).

King's Origin of Evil (in opposition to Warburton, who, while on a visit at Cambridge, was ready to quarrel on the subject) asserts, that Bolingbroke extracted the scheme of the best from the book of 35 the Abp.;... and that Lord Bathurst told him he had seen these col- lected notions in the hand-writing of that Lord, lying by the side of Pope, when he was writing the Essay on Man? In the notes ' many metaphysical subjects, curious and interesting in their nature, are treated of with great ingenuity, learning and aq novelty. To this work was prefixed, under the name of a Preliminary Dissertation, a very valuable piece written by Mr [John] Gay of Sidney college. Our bishop always spoke of this gentleman in terms of the greatest respect. In the Bible, and in the writings of Locke, no man, he used to say, was so well versed' (Paley). r In 1734 ho published at Cambridge An enquiry into the ideas of tpace, time, immensity and eternity, in answer to Jo.

Svo. afterwards called Considerations on the theoi~y of religion, was reprinted Cambr. J 749> 'S5> '65, '74; 7th ed. Carlisle 1784; reprinted by his son Geo. Hen., bp. of Chester, Lond. 1820. A note (p. 467 ed. 1820): ' Dr IO Beattie ... appears throughout, like some others of his countrymen, entirely devoted to the old doctrine of abstract immaterial substances and their immutable identity, of innate senses, implanted instincts etc., for want probably of having read anything written lately on the pre- sent subject, which might, I apprehend, lead them to a more just and 15 natural way of philosophising'; gave great offence to Beattie (Sir Wm. Forbes Life of Beattie, Lond. 1824, I. 326, 343). At the meeting in the Feathers Tavern against subscription 1772 (Hor. Walpole's Last Journ. I. 8): 'The son of Dr. Law, Bishop of Carlisle, and another of his relations, attended their meeting, which 20 demonstrated the Bishop's opinions, though he had not resolution enough to declare himself openly.' 18 Jan. 1774 (ibid. 296): 'About this time Dr. Law. .had the honesty to write against subscription to the Thirty- nine Articles, 80 popishly upheld by the rest of his brethren.' 25 Law's pamphlet, Considerations on the propriety of requiring a Sub- scription to Articles of Faith, recommended a further reformation and a more complete toleration of religious opinions. It was published anonymously at Cambridge Jan. 1774, repr. at London with additions in Apr. 1774. An Answer to the considerations, also anonymous, but 30 known to be written by Dr. Tho. Randolph, was published at the Clarendon press in May. In June 'a friend of religious liberty' pub- lished A defence of the considerations . . in reply to a late answer from the Clarendon press (Meadley's Life of Paley, ed. 21, 91 94). This is reprinted in Paley's Sermons and Tracts and in the appendix to Mead- 3; ley's Life of Paley, ed. 1. It was Paley's first publication. He justly says of the persecuted methodists (Meadley 13) : 'It is objected to the articles, . . . that they are at variance with the actual opinions both of the governors and members of that church ; so much so, that the men who most faithfully and explicitly maintain these articles, get per- 40 secuted for their singularity, excluded from orders, driven from uni- versities, and are compelled to preach the established religion in fields and conventicles.' The conclusion (p. 45) is in Paley's best style: ' as the man who attacks a flourishing establishment writes with a halter round his neck, few ever will be found to attempt alterations 4 c but men of more spirit than prudence, of more sincerity than caution, of warm, eager and impetuous tempers ; . . consequently, if we are to wait for improvement till the cool, the calm, the discreet part of mankind begin it, till church governors solicit, or ministers of state propose it, I will venture to pronounce that (without HU inter- 72i EDM. LAW'S WORKS AM) CHARACTER. position with whom nothing is impossible) we may remain as we are till the renovation of all things.'' In 177" Law published a handsome edition of Locke in 4 vols. 4to, with additional pieces, a life and preface. 'Locke's writings and cha- racter he held in the highest esteem, and seems to have drawn from 5 them many of his own principles ' (Paley). He declined to purchase certain papers of Cudworth's, found in lord Masham's library at Otes, which were offered to him as Locke's (Nichols Lit. Anecd. IX. 276). On 10 Feb. 1785 Paley dedicated to Law his Principles of Morality and Politics (Meadley 126), afterwards called Principles of Moral and 1 Political Philosophy. No vulgar flattery is heard in words like these : 'A long life spent in the most interesting of all human pursuits the investigation of moral and religious truth, in constant and unwearied endeavours to advance the discovery, communication, and success, of both; a life so occupied, and arrived at that period which l 5 renders every life venerable, commands respect by a title which no virtuous mind will dispute, which no mind sensible of the importance of these studies to the supreme concernments of mankind will not rejoice to see acknowledged. Whatever difference, or whatever oppo- sition, some who peruse your Lordship's writings may perceive between 2 your conclusions and their own, the good and wise of all persuasions will revere that industry, which has for its object the illustration or defence of our common Christianity. Your Lordship's researches have never lost sight of one purpose, namely, to recover the simplicity of the Gospel from beneath that load of unauthorized additions, which 25 the ignorance of some ages, and the learning of others, the superstition of weak, and the craft of designing men, have (unhappily for its interest) heaped upon it. And this purpose, I am convinced, was dictated by the purest motive ; by a firm, and I think a just opinion, that whatever renders religion more rational, renders it more credible; 3 that he who, by a diligent and faithful examination of the original records, dismisses from the system one article which contradicts the apprehension, the experience, or the reasoning of mankind, does more towards recommending the belief, and, with the belief, the influence of Christianity, to the understandings and consciences of serious inquirers, 35 and through them to universal reception and authority, than can be effected by a thousand contenders for creeds and ordinances of human establishment.' And then, after speaking of the reformers, who by rejecting transubstantiation ' exonerated Christianity of a weight which sunk it', Paley continues: 'I mean, by calling to mind those great 40 reformers of the public faith, to observe, or rather to express my own persuasion, that to restore the purity, is most effectually to promote the progress, of Christianity ; and that the same virtuous motive which hath sanctified their labours, suggested yours. At a time when some men appear not to perceive any good, and others to suspect an evil 45 tendency, in that spirit of examination and research which is gone forth in Christian countries, this testimony is become due, not only to the probity of your Lordship's views, but to the general cause of in- tellectual and religious liberty.'

He was 'as pompous and prelatical, magnificent and epi- scopal, in his little diocese, with his purple coat and silk cassock, and 10 his equipage suitable, as any bishop in Christendom.'

Denne 20 to Bi. Gough 10 Febr. 1799 (Nichols Lit. lllustr. vi. 759): 'Broctor [Wm.] Bidlington was as rigid and perverse in his office as any man who ever traversed the theatre with his book and gold chain, and . . had for his Deputy or Moderator the martinet Boss. What a contest did these reformers stir up by a vain attempt to make the disputations 25 and the declamations of the Bachelors what they termed a serious exercise ! an opposition to which subjected the author of the Bath Guide to a suspension "ab omni gradu suscepto et suscipiendo."' In 1752 he was a candidate for the oratorship, but was defeated by Jo. Skynner of St John's by 85 votes to 75 (Nichols Lit. A need. IX. 3 487). In 1757 he was appointed preacher of the Rolls, though Warburton (Letters 15 Oct. and 2 Nov., pp. 238, 239, ed. 1809) used all his influence for Hurd. King's chaplain 1757 ; presented in 1760 to the vicarage of Frome 35 Selwood Som. (which he retained to his death), by lord Weymouth, who, when lord lieut. of Ireland, had appointed him his chaplain (Nichols Lit. Anecd. n. 185). Bresented to the twelfth stall at Durham 8 Mar. 1 769, which he resigned on his promotion to Exeter (Hardy's Le Neve III. 320). On 25 Apr. 1777 Hurd writes (Life by Kilvert 40 131): 'DrBoss will certainly, I believe, be the next bishop.' Con- firmed bp. of Exeter 23 Jan. 1778, appointed same day to the arch- deaconry then usually held by the bp., and to a prebend ; consecrated 25 Jan. 1778 (Hardy I. 382, 396, 431 ; Stubbs 120). On Sunday 18 Aug. 1782 he was honoured with John Wesley's 45 company (Journal) : ' I was much pleased with the decent behaviour of the whole congregation at the cathedral ; as also with the solemn music at the post-communion, one of the finest comj^sitions I ever JO. ROSS. JO. WESLEY. 727 heard. The bishop inviting me to dinner, I could not but observe, i . The lovely situation of the palace, covered with trees, and as rura and retired as if it was quite in the country; 2. The plainness of the furniture, not costly or showy, but just fit for a Christian bishop ; 3. 5 The dinner, sufficient but not redundant ; plain and good but not delicate; 4. The propriety of the company, five clergymen and four of the aldermen ; and 5. The genuine unaffected courtesy of the bishop, who I hope will be a blessing to his whole diocese.' Sam. Badcock writes 5 Dec. 1782 (Nichols Lit. Anecd. V. 230, 231): 10 'Mr. Wesley, after receiving the sacrament this last summer at the cathedral of Exeter, was invited by the bishop to dine at the palace. Tin re were some who thought his lordship might have spared the compliment; but others considered it as only another proof, added to the many he hath already given, of his amiable courtesy, candour and I 5 good-sense. How far he relaxed his zeal or his dignity by his conde- scension, may be a point to be canvassed by the scrupulous ; but the wise and the good of every communion will settle it in a moment. ' The discourse at the table turned on a variety of literary topicks. At that time the public was amused by the controversy about Rowley's 20 poems. Mr Wesley said, that he had made enquiries about Chatter- ton ; and from the information he could gather, he could scarcely believe him equal to such a complicated and ingenious piece of fraud. The subject introduced the name of Mr Jacob Bryant. Mr canon [Ceo.] Moore asked him, if he had ever read that gentleman's Ana- ;: lysis. He said, he had not only read the first two volumes, but had actually abridged them. Mr Moore lent him the third volume, which he intended to abridge likewise. These are instances of uncommon assiduity, as well as singular curiosity, in this transccndant man, as bishop Warburton denominated him, in a vein of mingled satire and 30 irony; but posterity may perhaps apply the epithet to him without a jest.' Wesley's description is confirmed by Geo. Ash by (Nichols Lit. Anecd. II. 1S5) : 'The bishop has confined himself, through 30 years of the prime of a life uncommonly abstemious, to an unceasing reading je of the very best books only on the most important subject.' He was a friend and patron of Geo. Ashby of St John's (Nichols Lit. Anecd. I. 157; ir. 186; in. 146; via 680; his letters to Ashby 11. 186189). He also gave preferment to Ri. Hole, translator of the Homeric hymn to Ceres {ibid. vin. 92). 40 He seems to have had little historical sense, as he 'turned over' Baker's MSS. and found nothing of interest in them {ibid. IV. 511; V. 663). He died at Exeter 14 Aug. 1792 and was buried in the S. aisle of the choir there. The Roman Catholic historian of Exeter cathedral, 45 Dr Oliver (p. 164) calls him 'this learned member of the Royal Society, as modest as he was learned.... His career was gentle and unpretending, making himself affable to all.' See Gent. Mag. and Eur. Mag. for Aug. [792. The substance of his will is given by 728 WORKS OF JO. BOSS. Nichols, and the epitaph on a small marble tablet by Jenkin (Hist, of Exeter). His first publication was : A Dissertation after the manner of Mr. Markland, in which the defence of P. Sulla is clearly proved to be spurious. 8vo. Lond. [746 (Nichols II. 184 188 ; iv. 281 ; v. 412). 5 ' Animi causa, ut per dpwvdav illuderet Marklando et Tunstallo, hunc librum composuit Rossius' (Orelli). There can be no doubt that Markland's scepticism was excessive ; speeches condemned by him and F. A. Wolf are cited as genuine by Madvig. Gray wrote to Wharton 25 Apr. 1749 {Works, ed. Mitford, III. 63, IO 64) : ' Ross's Epistles of Tully ad familiares will come out in about a week. It is in two handsome 8vo. volumes, with an Introduction and Notes in English, but no translation, dedicated to Lord Gower.' Marci Tullii Ciceronis epistolarum ad familiares libri XVI. Edidit et commentario Anglico illustravit Joannes Ross A.M. Cantabrigiae 15 typis academicis excudebat J. Bentham impensis Gul. Thurlbourn. A. M.DCC.XL.IX. 2 vols. 8vo. In the notes Ross imitated, but has not equalled, Mongault's excel- lent French commentary on the letters to Atticus; in the text he generally followed Olivet, but had the use of a MS. of Dr Mead's, his 20 description of which betrays a want of familiarity with MSS. The letters are arranged in chronological order. He sensibly defends the use of English, then very unusual, as the language for notes on the ancients. This is still the most convenient edition, though there is little in the notes which may not be traced to Victorius or Manutius. 25 Orelli says of it in his index editionum, ' Editio et elegans nee fre- quens. Annotationes partim criticae, parti m exegeticae niinime con- temnendae ; usus est Codice manu scripto. Ceterum nemo adhuc editorum Germanicorum, ut tamen optabile erat, hac Ed. uti potuit.' Jer. Markland was still sore from the old grudge when he wrote, 30 9 June 1749 (Nichols Lit. Anecd. iv. 313, cf. 319): 'I have had a very full and innocent revenge upon him for his pertness and want of judgement in undertaking what I then saw he knew nothing of ; and now see so many instances of his ignorance and want of skill and taste in these matters as, if I could shew them to you, would make you 35 laugh, even though you had a moderate fit of the cholic upon you. Hut this between ourselves ; for this is the Esoteric Doctrine, which I shall communicate only to Mr. Clarke and yourself [Wm. Bowyer the printer]. The Exoteric is, that the English is very good, and the Notes (scarce one of them his own, but taken from others, without any 40 acknowledgement for the most part) very useful, and such as I could wish might be read by everybody. I do not doubt but he will get a great deal of reputation from this work. ' There was a report that the Cicero was called in by Ross when a bishop (Aid. VIII. 414). 45 For some sermons published by Ross see Index to Monthly Rev. and Darling. RI. BEADOX. 729 Rr. Beadox, bp. of Gloucester and Bath and Wells. Consecrated 1789. Son of Rob.

Brownlow North endeavoured to procure the mastership for Beadon ; I 5 but John Fisher, afterwards bp. of Salisbury, and the junior fellows, secured Chevalier's election {Ann. Biogr. 1826, 222; Nichols Lit. Anted. 1. 578, 579). In 1 781 Cole writes to Dr. Lort (ibid. 671) : 'There is a good master [Beadon] sent to Jesus College, with whom every one seems pleased, 20 and Dr. Gooch in particular.' He married Rachel daughter of Dr John Gooch (Ibid. IX. 582 ; Lit. Jllustr. vi. 650). He was tutor to the duke of Gloucester, which led no doubt to his preferments (Public Characters, 1823, 1. 108). 25 When in 1801 Hannah More was slanderously accused, she wrote a long and interesting vindication of her schools and work to her bishop, whose reply is creditable to his good sense (Roberts Memoir and Correspondence of H. M., ed. 2, ur. 123 141). Public orator 1768 1778; held Reculverland prebend Lond. 12 Oct. 3 1 77 1 1775 (Hardy's Le Neve 11. 432); archd. of London 22 Febr. 1775 1789 (ibid. 325); held Mapesbury prebend Lond. 23 Febr. 1775 1802 (ibid. 409); master of Jesus 1781 1789; v. c. 1781 and 1782. He held the rectory of Stanford Rivers Essex (Annual Biogr. 1825, 395; Nichols Lit. Anecd. II. 380); the rectory of Orsett Ess. in 35 the patronage of Bp. Terrick, whose chaplain he was; and the chancel- lorship of St. David's (MS. Cole Add. 5850 ; Britton's Cath. of Wells cited by Mr Yate). Consecrated bp. of Gloucester 7 June 1789; confirmed bp. of Bath and Wells 2 June 1802; died at Bath 21 April 1824 and was buried 40 in Wells cathedral (Stubbs ; Hardy I. 148, 442; Cassan's Bishops of B. and W. 11. 179, 180). His wife survived him and resided in Charles Str. Berkeley Squ. (List of Subscribers to Cassan). ' Bp. Beadon, whilst at Bath and Wells, either by purchase or clever management of leases, contrived to get a considerable portion of the 45 estates into his own possession, and bequeathed them to his son [his only son Ri. Beadon] ; by whose extravagance or neglect the property has been dissipated, and been necessitated to be sold (in 1837 or 1838).' Chas. Yate. '30 BEADON'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY. He was a near relation to the wife of Jo. Newcome, master, who made him his exor., and left him a large legacy (Nichols Lit. Anecd. I. 560, 564). He was a friend and connexion of R. C. Whalley (Whalley's Memoir etc. xxxiii. xxxiv, 61, 119, 125). A letter, written after his promotion, 5 with the burden Nolui episcopari, is in Journal and Correspondence of T. S. Whalley u. 35. He was a correspondent of Rob. Robinson, the noted Dissenting minister in Cambridge (Dyer's Life of Robinson 132). It seems to have been a common thing for church dignitaries to solicit sermons from 10 Robinson ; and Beadon was among the importunate suitors (ibid. 89) : ' Robinson always spake of this man as a person of amiable manners and of liberal sentiments : he knew him to be determined on prefer- ment, but thought him too enlightened to be a bishop. On hearing of his advancement to a mitre, he archly remarked, He is no fitter to be 1 5 a bishop, than I am\ As Beadon's only publications are an S. P. G. sermon and a fast sermon, it is not likely that Robinson, who wrote agaii.st the observance of Good Friday, supplied them (Upcott's Biogr. Diet, of living authors, 1816, 18, 412). Another of his friends was Home Tooke (Tooke's Life I. 23). 20 At college he was a member of the Hyson Club, with Geo. Pretyman (Tomhne), Gilb. Wakefield, prof. Waring and others. He was then orator; 'which office I have heard him discharge with an excellent elocution, and a latinity, easy, elegant and copious' (Gilb. Wakefield's Memoirs, ed. 2, 1. 132). A fragment of Beadon's speech on presenting 25 the duke of Grafton for his degree is in Cradock's Memoirs I. 151. His elder brother Edwards Beadon was born at Brushford Somerset, educated at Bampton school under Wood, adm. pensioner 2 Apr. 1744 under Rutherforth. 12 Apr. 1759 'Agreed to elect Mr Beadon into the vicarage of 30 Highain.' Conclusion Book. He died 17 Dec. 1810, rect. of N. Stoneham Hants, j. p. for Hants, vie. of Minting {Gent. Mag. 1790, 1151 b; Dec. 1810, 665). John Watson Beadon, fell. Jes., B.A. 1788, M.A. 1791 was rector of Christian Malford Wilts and Fairley Chamberlain Hants. (T. S. 35 Whalley's Journals I. 409; Clerical Guide); precentor of Wells 24 June i Si 2 ; appointed to Lytton preb. B. and W. 3 Aug. 1805 ; died Aug. 1835 (Hardy's Le Xere I. 172, 198). Three of bp. Beadon's grandsons were of St John's, sons of Ri. Bea- don and Annabella daughter of Sir Wm. Pierce Ashe a'Court bart. 40 (Gent. Mag. lxv (1). 485 b) ; Wm. Fred. B.A. 1829, barrister, police magistrate first at Wandsworth, then at the Marlborough Str. police court, who died 30 Mar. 1862 (Camb. Indep. Press 5 Apr. 1862 ; Eton Lists; Walford's County Families); Ri. a'Court BA. 1832, M.A. '^35 ; presented to Wivelscombe prebend B. & W. 18 July 1833 45 (Hardy's Le Nere I. 201); vie. of Cheddar 1836, of Wivelscombe 1837 (Crockford's Clerical Directory); Hyde Wyndham BA. 1835, M.A. WM.

Lxvin. 992 b ; Ann. Reg. xxxv. 66; XLH. 54; Ann. Biogr. 1835, 445 a. Youngest son of the earl of Bute, and his wife Mary, daughter of lady "Wortley Montagu ; born at London 16 Mar. 1755, educated under Joseph Warton at Winchester, admitted fellow commoner 14 10 Jan. 1772 under Beadon and Ferris. Boswell says (Life of Johnson, ed. Croker, 1851, 723) : 'On Thurs- day, April 10 [1782] I introduced to him, at his house in Bolt Court, the Honorable and Reverend William Stuart, son of the Earl of Bute ; a gentleman truly worthy of being known to Johnson ; being, with all 1 5 the advantages of high birth, learning, travel and elegant manners, an exemplary parish priest in every respect.' Malone adds : ' At that time vicar of Luton, where he lived for some years, and fully merited the character given of him in the text.' Appointed canon of Windsor 18, installed 23 Mar. 1793 ; on his 20 resignation a successor was appointed 13 Nov. 1800 (Hardy's Le Neve in. 412). Consecrated bp. of St. David's 12 Jan. 1794, which see he resigned 3 2 Oct. 1800 (ibid. I. 306 ; Stubbs 123 ; Nichols' Lit. Illustr. VI. 640). Translated to Armagh by patent dated 22 Nov. 1800. Died 6 May 1822, by accidentally taking poison instead of medicine. Buried 25 at Luton park. In Armagh cathedral is a full length marble figure of him in the attitude of prayer (Cotton's Fasti in. 28; Ann. Biogr. 1823, 462, 463; Public Characters, 1823, 1. 56; Walcott's Wykeham 3S6 ; Burke's Peerage, where his pedigree may be seen). John Fisher, bp. of Exeter and Salisbury. Consecrated 1803. 30 The eldest of 10 sons of Jo. Fisher cur. of Hampton Midds., born at Hampton. His father was chaplain to John Thomas, preceptor to Geo. TIL who died bp. of Winchester 1 May 1781; with bp. Thomas he went to Peterborough and became vicar there and was collated to the prebend of Preston Sarum 30 July 1759 (Hardy's Le Neve II. 674), 35 which he resigned in 1779 (' ,J id- 677). In 1768 he removed to the living of Calbourn I. of Wight, where he died. The son was educated first at Peterborough and then at St Paul's under Dr Thicknesse. He entered at Peterhouse in 1766 under Dr Edm. Law and was intimate with his sons. In 1770 he took his B.A. 40 degree as 10th wrangler. M.A. 1773, B.D. 1780, D.D. 1789. He obtained an appropriated fellowship at St John's in 1773, and became tutor of the college, 'in which capacity he acquired considerable dis- tinction, not only for his various talents, but for the suavity of hia manners, and the peculiarly felicitous manner with which he conveyed 45 instruction. He was engaged as private tutor to prince Zartorinski Poniatowski, and afterwards to Mr. St. George, son of the late abp. of Dublin, who dying, Dr. Fisher was for some time with Sir J. Cradock 48 732 JOHN FISHER. the late governor of the Cape . . . However, deriving no very great advantage from these connexions, he accepted the curacy of Hampton.' Dr W. S. Powell had been intimate, when at Freshwater, with Fisher's family,' and had urged him to stand for a fellowship at St 5 John's. Fisher accordingly (see below, Cole's account of Chevallier) supported Powell's friend Chevallier as a candidate for the mastership. His conduct in this business led bp. Hurd to recommend him in 1780 as tutor to prince Edward, father of queen Victoria, before he was sent to Gbttingen. Fisher removed to Windsor and was made king's 10 chaplain and deputy clerk of the closet. He won the confidence of his pupil and of the king. In 1783 he became F.S.A. In 1785, on prince Edward's going to Germany to finish his education, he went to Italy for his health. Mrs Piozzi writes 3 Aug. 1813 (Journ. and Corresp. of T. S. Whalley 15 n - 36/), on hearing of the death of Randolph, bp. of London ; 'Now let us see if Fisher stands well with his young princess, whose re- commendationif she enforces it the way we were talking of must, I should think, be very powerful. He was a charming creature when we knew him abroad, and called him the King's Fisher.' 20 In 1786 he was recalled from Naples and married 5 or 6 Sept. 1787 Dorothea only daughter of Jo. Freston Scrivenor esq. of Sibton abbey Suffolk (Gent. Mag. 1787, 8366); by whom he had one son and two daughters. It speaks well for his liberality of thought that we find his name, 25 when king's chaplain, among the subscribers to Jo. Jebb's Works. In 1803 De was appointed tutor to the princess Charlotte. See letters from him on Hannah More's famous Hints towards the edu- cation of a princess, 1805, in Roberts' Life and Correspondence of //. M., ed. 2, in. 222, 223 ; and the account of the difficulties which he 3 had to overcome in Miss C. Knight's Autobiography. 'Of this re- sponsible charge he acquitted himself with exemplary propriety and credit' (Oliver). 'After his advancement to the episcopal bench, he made it a rule to appropriate a considerable portion of the revenues of each diocese 35 to charitable uses. One proof of his uncommon disinterestedness appeared in his declining to renew the lease of the best manor belong- ing to the . . see of Salisbury, by which extraordinary sacrifice the sum of 30,000 falls into the hands of . . bp. Burgess. . . . Dr. Fisher left Ilia bishoprick as he came to it.' 4 In 1804 he became v. p. of the Bible Society. He died 8 May 1825 at his house in Semour Str. London, and was buried on the 16th in St. George's chapel Windsor. By letters of administration granted to his widow 'it appears, that his personal property amounted to no more than 20,000.' 45 ' A portrait of his lordship, as chancellor of the Garter, adorns the great room in Salisbury palace.'

Churton preached the consecration sermon, Nichols' Lit. Anecd.

Johnstone, 749) : 'Unsoil'd by Courts, and unseduc'd by zeal, Fisher endangers not the public weal.' 1 J His only publications are : A charge to the clergy of his diocese at his primary visitation in 1804 and 1805.

Owing to the pressure of the war, the 2 5 government could do nothing at the time.

M.A. 1798, D.D. 1813. Ordained to the curacy of Sandon in 1800; rector of Lutterworth 1802, vie. Claybrook 1806. At this time he 'read attentively the 4 writings of the early fathers; studied critically, with the help of approved commentators, the sacred text ; and took great pains with the preparation of his sermons.' About 18 1 1 he attached himself to the evangelical school, which still lay under a reproach, and he is called the ' affectionate brother' 45 of a leader of that school, Tho. Robinson of Leicester (Vaughan's Life of T. R., 1815, 186). 'In this year he presided at the annual meeting of the Leicester auxiliary Bible society ... It was at this period of his life . . he commenced daily family prayer, and the 482 734 HENRY RYDER. reading of the scriptures morning and evening. . . Beside a cottage lecture at Clay brook, he held a weekly lecture on the premises of a large manufactory at Lutterworth.' Mr Yate having worked for more than two years under bp. Ryder as curate of Chetwynd co. Salop, bears witness to his courtesy, liber- c ality and zeal. 'He was in a word, a truly Christian prelate and sincerely beloved by all his clergy. His acts of charity were truly munificent, perhaps too much so, considering his large family; but he said that he never Icneio how to refuse in a good cause, when called upon as a Christian bishop. Obloquy sometimes fell upon him from i o persons of opposite religious views ; but in all, who knew him, he seldom failed to inspire feelings of most affectionate respect and ad- miration.' See Harford's Memoir of R. C. Whalley, 1846, xxxiv; and Whalley's letter (pp. 74, 75) 1 Oct. 18 14: 'He is a most upright man with God. He has no reserves or shiftings about him at all. Simple, 1 5 humble, and direct in his proceedings, he really adorns his station, and I have no doubt 'will be the means of much good in it. He is a very laborer for his master.' He married in 1802 Sophia daughter of Tho. March Phillips esq., who survived him, by whom he had ten sons and three daughters 20 Ann, Biogr. 1837, 98; 1818, 3S3). He was the last bishop of Coventry and Lichfield ; the archdeaconry of Coventry being attached to Worcester diocese by order in council 22 Dec. 1836 (Hardy's Le Neve I. 538). At a public meeting in S. Philip's vestry Birmingham 14 Apr. 1836 25 it was resolved to erect a monument to the bp. in Lichfield cathedral, and to build a church at Gosta Green, near Birmingham, to be called Bishop Ryder's church. Both these resolutions were carried into effect (Ann. Bioyr. 1837, 99). Sam. Parr wrote of him (Memoirs by John Johnstone, 749) : ^ Q 'True piety in Ryder I admit.' His only publications were sermons and charges. Anniversary Ser- mons, S.P.G. i8r 9 ; S. P. C. K. 1821.

On 1 July 1807 he was married at Harwich, by special licence, to Miss Marianne Emilie Charlotte Lecarriere, daughter of the late John 20 L. esq., merchant at Leipzig (Gent. Mag. 1807, p. 681 a). On 23 Nov. 1807, the court of King's Bench was moved to award a mandamus to the bp. of Ely, visitor, to hear and decide upon the claim of Win. Wood to the sinecure rectory of Aberdaron ; but the application was refused, the bp. having pronounced in favour of Herb. 25 Marsh (Cooper's Ann. IV. 489 from Carnbr. Chron. 28 Nov. 1807). Elected Margaret professor in 1807 (Hardy's Lc Neve III. 655), an appointment which he retained to his death ; consecrated bp. Llandaff 25 Aug. 1816, confirmed bp. of Peterborough 28 Apr. 1819 (ibid. II. 2 56, 538). He died 1 May 1839. 30 He was 'most prompt and exact in the dispatch of business. As a man, he was liberal in all his views, of great benevolence, and remark- able for his friendliness of disposition' (Gent. Mag. July 1839). He was buried in that part of his cathedral called the new building (ibid.). 35 His widow, a German lady, Marianne Emilie Charlotte, died 13 Oct. 1844, in the minster precincts Peterborough, set. 70 (Camb. Chron. 19 Oct. 1844). His father Pi. Marsh was of C. C. C. C. B.A. 1731, M.A. 1756. His brother, P. Marsh esq., died 1 July 1847, at St. Stephen's, ^.O Canterbury (Cambr. Chron. 17 July 1847). His eldest son Herb. Chas.

He was declared of unsound mind by a jury n June 1850 as. (Cambr. Chron. 15 June 1850), and died 4 Sept. 1851, set. 43 (ibid. 13 Sept. 185 1 ). '36 HERBERT MARSH. WM, FREXD. His then youngest son, Ri. Jo., died 23 Feb. 1812 (ibid. 28 Feb. 1812) having been born 23 Febr. 1S11 (ibid. 20 Dec. 1811). His son Geo.

Some time a barrister ; presented to the college rectory of Great Snoring with Thursford in 1851 (ibid. 4 Nov. 1851). 5 ' In 1 784, at the general election, he was a zealous supporter of Mr Pitt, then a candidate for the university. In 17S5 he went abroad, and after travelling through various parts of the continent, finally set- tled at Leipzig in 1786, where he became a member of the university... In 1792. ..he returned to Cambridge to take his B.D. degree. ..He re- 10 turned to Leipzig in 1793' (C. Yate). Proceedings against Wm. Frend, Cambr. 1793, xlvii. : 'The ill health alone of Mr Marsh prevented him from being of the number [of the friends who appeared with Frend in court and advised him] : but the step, taken by him in an early stage of the business, though 5 unauthorised by Mr Frend, proved the sincerity of that friendship, which had long been cemented between them.' Marsh took the advertisement of Frend's pamphlets to the Cam- bridge Chronicle, and was summoned as a witness byDr Tho. Kipling although ' he had frequently expostulated with the promoter on the 2 cruelty of forcing him to attend;' however on his plea 'Mr Frend is a near relation, a man with whom I have been educated from my childhood, and of course a confidential friend' (ibid. 65 67, 205, 1 1 May 1793), he was allowed to withdraw, sore against Kipling's will. Marsh had attempted to bring about a compromise, ibid. 163, 25 165 167; in the note 166, 167 is part of a manly letter of Marsh's to Kipling: 'lifting up your arm with a menace, which (excuse me, Sir, the expression) at present appears to me ridiculous, you solemnly and violently declared, that you would not suffer such proceedings... Mr Frend is a man of too much honour, and too much courage, to 3 stoop to such a baseness.' The proceedings against Frend from the first seem to have been violent and unconstitutional ; even Wm. Otter, afterwards bp., pro- tested against his ' amotion ' from Jesus college. The ' attempt to compel Marsh to give evidence against bis friend and relation was 35 received by a crowded gallery with the strongest marks of disappro- bation.' He acted prudently in residing at Leipzig; 'for such was the rancour of Frend's prosecutors, that they calumniated every person who was in any mariner connected with him ; and Mr Marsh, who was considered as the successor of Professor Mainwaring, would 40 have had no chance of obtaining that lucrative Professorship, which was in the gift of Doctors and Bachelors of Divinity only.' S. T. Coleridge's zeal on Frend's behalf is well known (Gunning's Reminis- cences, 1855, I. 255285). Ikloe's Sexagenarian, r. c. 21 p. 131 seq. : 'The progress to his 45 degree was marked by the general prediction, that he would attain tho highest honours. In this interval, and in the course of the HERBERT MARSH IN GERMANY. HIS PENSION. 737- university exercises, the writer of this sketch became acquainted with him, and was greatly impressed with his acuteness and ingenuity. 'Not long after he had obtained a fellowship, partly from infirm health, and partly from the desire of extending his literary acquisi- 5 tions, he went abroad. How successfully he obtained one at least of his objects, literary reputation, has been demonstrated by some of the most learned and valuable works which modem times have produced.' Then follows an account of the History of the Politics and Marsh's IO subsequent introduction to Pitt by bp. Tomline. 'The subject of politics, however, seems to have been forced upon him by local and peculiar circumstances ; the natural bias of his mind, and his studies, had a very different direction. The most celebrated Theological writers on the Continent had exercised his talents and I 5 occupied his time so effectually, that the result was the publication of a work, which no scholar would choose, and no theological student ought, to be without. Others, equally important and valuable, in the strict line of his profession, have succeeded ; and whether his profound erudition, his sagacity in detecting error, his subtilty of disputation, or 20 his facility of writing, be considered, there are but few authors of modern times who can submit to a competition with him. He bears however his faculties meekly ; and though in a very lofty situation, his manners are extremely conciliating without the smallest symptoms of superciliousness or arrogance, even towards his opponents.' 25 Herbert Marsh, Horce Pclasgicce, p. 137 n.

IS On the 3 1 Mar. 1 8 1 9 Marsh wrote to the clergy of Llandaff from Westminster, thanking them for the sacrifices of private interest by which the churches, chancels, and glebehouses had been repaired, or built anew, and residence promoted. ' They have shewn by their conduct a due sense of the obligation imposed on every pastor, to live 20 near to his flock, that he may be ever ready to attend to their spiri- tual wants. They have further shewn their conviction, that a multi- plicity of cures is incompatible with their duty to any : and that even where divine service is performed only once on the Sabbath day, the service of two churches is as much as can be properly undertaken by 25 one clergyman. The bishop, in leaving the diocese, has the satisfac- tion to reflect that he leaves it with only a few exceptions to this salutary rule ; and measures were already in contemplation for the removal even of those few exceptions' (Christ.

By William [Van Mildert], lord bishop of Llandaff. London: 182 r. [In The Pamphleteer, 1822, 8vo. xix. 299.] 'For much of the improved state of ecclesiastical concerns in this diocese, I am sensible of the obligations I owe to my imme- I O diate predecessor ; whose vigilance and ability were successfully applied to the better regulation of several matters, in which some amendment had become necessary : and it will be no less my inclination than my duty, to carry on to its fullest practicable extent, what has been so auspiciously begun. But, in common with your late Diocesan, I feel 1 5 particularly indebted to that valuable body of clergy, the rural deans... Upon a comparison of the returns made by the rural deans to my predecessor in the year 18 17, with those made to me in the years 18.19 and 1820, I observe, with pleasure, a manifest and still progressive improvement in several matters of general interest.' 20 Memoir of bp. Charles James Blomfield, Lond. 1863, I. 90, from a letter to Mrs Blomfield, Althorp, Aug. 23, 1823: 'Lord Spencer was introduced the other day to Mrs [Marsh], who accompanied the Bishop on his Visitation. He found her sitting in a room at the George Inn at Northampton, clad in all the colours of the rainbow, 25 and covered with diamonds. Never having seen her before, the sight of such a mass of splendour quite overpowered him, and he was struck "all of a heap." The Bishop has been breaking out into sallies of violence against his clergy during the visitation in a most extra- ordinary manner.' 30 S. Atkinson, coll. Trim, in Lond. Mag. and Rev. Apr. 1825, p. 503: 'Herbert Marsh... is altogether the first man in Cambridge at the present time. He is an ornament to this University, and he would be an ornament to any society that ever existed. But he was not formed in Cambridge. He went to the Continent very shortly after he 35 graduated studied theology under Michaelis ransacked the stores of German literature wrote one of the ablest periodicals of the day called British Politics Defended, which did this country incalculable service on the Continent, and which finally became so odious to Buonaparte that he proscribed Marsh. He was concealed several 4 months by his host, and attended by his daughter. He was not ungrateful for these services, for he married this lady shortly after his appointment to the Divinity Professorship. He is an intolerant bigot ; but he supports his opinions like a man, and is the very best pamphleteer of the day.' 45 The following letter to Mr B. Mardon, a Unitarian minister, who proposed a reprint of Griesbach's text, is printed in the Christian Reformer, vin. 461, 462, for August, 1841. 740 HERBERT MARSH AND GRIESBACH. 'Palace, Peterborough, Sept. 2, 1825. 'Rev. Sib, ' I return you many thanks for the good opinion which you entertain of my theological labours ; and it is but justice to ac- knowledge that your letter clearly indicates no inconsiderable share of 5 theological learning on your part. I perfectly agree with you in the opinion that Griesbach's text of the Greek Testament approaches much nearer to the sacred autographs than the textus receptus. I believe that no Editor ever weighed with greater impartiality the reasons for and against the readings which were the subjects of his inquiry : he 1 o may have been mistaken, like other men, but I am sure that he always meant to decide on critical grounds alone. Hence I have endeavoured in my Lectures to vindicate his edition from the charges which have been unfairly laid to it. I lament that there are still persons who con- tend that he w T as influenced in the choice of his readings by a theo- 1 5 logical bias, which I do not know that he ever had. During many years I was in constant correspondence with Griesbach on subjects of critical theology, and no such bias' ever appeared from any of his let- ters. But it is no easy matter to eradicate a prevalent notion ; and men in public situations are often under the necessity of imposing on 20 themselves restraints, where further exertion would be unadvisable. I must content myself, therefore, with the justice which I have done to Griesbach in my Lectures, without becoming the patron of a new edi- tion of his text.' His house in Benet Street, devised to the University for charitable 25 uses, was held by him at a rent of 3, according to Gamaliel Thorn (Letter to the Burgesses of Cambridge, 1835, p. 23, in the Cambridge Univ. Libr. Bb. 28. 4). The house is now known as Peeling's hotel; the stable is opposite. At the confirmation at Oakham in July 1827, Marsh was informed 30 that C. Collier, vicar of Braunston, had refused certificates to some children, that the parents of others with whom he had quarrelled, had thought it unsafe to send their children for examination to a man of his violent temper, and that other children of other parishes had acci- dentally been unable to attend the examinations. The bishop appoint- 35 ed his acting chaplain to examine all the children who had no testi- monial. Those whom Collier had rejected gave satisfactory answers and were confirmed. Hardly were Marsh's hands lifted from their heads, when Collier bustled up, and threatened 'to drag the children from the rails.' Marsh's 40 calm rebuke and the further insolence of Collier, may be seen in a letter of Geo. Wilkins, Vicarage, Nottingham, 23 Nov. 1827, printed in Christ. Jiemembr. x. 63, 64. T. F. Dibdin's Northern Tour (Lond. 1838) I. 32, 33: 'In intellec- tual perspicacity and vigorous pursuit of biblical researches the name 45 of Marsh has no equal among its predecessors. Bishop Marsh is now in his eighty-second year, and necessarily in such a state of repose, if not imbecility, as to render all farther activity hopeless... Those who have read Bishop Marsh's controversial pamphlets with the late Dr CHARACTER OF HERBERT MARSH. 741 Milner, ...will agree with me in pronouncing them to be perfect of their species. Many years have passed away since I enjoyed the author's society ; and he is now, 1 fear, in a condition to be almost equally insensible of censure and of praise.' 5 It is not too much to say of Marsh that he was in his time the fore- most man of letters and divine in Cambridge, and the foremost bishop on the bench. When (as we see by the pamphlets of bp. Randolph, and again by those of Milner, Simeon and others, in the Bible Society con- troversy) a critical study of the Bible was denounced even in the 10 universities not as useless only, but presumptuous and dangerous, his reputation for theological learning was so secure, that he was elected Margaret professor without opposition ; and his translation of Michaelis was printed by the university press. His letters to Travis deserve a place on the same shelf with Porson's, and with Bentley's dissertation. 1 5 His History of the Politics etc. is not only remarkable as one of the few successful efforts of Englishmen in a modern language not their own, but was productive of signal benefit to the country at the time, and still ranks as the standard authority for our relations with the French repub- lic. His notes on Michaelis are to this day cited as among the best 20 authorities on the MSS. and versions of the N.T., nor have the subsequent discoveries of MSS. and progress of inquiry made obsolete his lectures on the criticism and interpretation, the authenticity and credibility of the Bible. There is a native vigour in his style, and a close logic in his reasoning, which enliven the dullest details. An 25 edition of these lectures, annotated as Marsh annotated Michaelis, would be of great service to the theological student. To his energy was due the foundation of the National Society, and his criticisms provoked his opponents to found the Prayer Book and Homily Society. As a bishop he revived the office of rural deans, discouraged non- 30 residence and pluralities, urged the establishment of schools and of additional services in the churches; his zeal for the interests of curates involved him in heavy pecuniary loss. He was a warm friend, and was seconded in his researches and practical plans of church reform by the diligence and the zeal of numerous admirers ; he was 7C liberal in his intercourse with dissenters, and singularly courteous in his controversies with them. His faults were those of his age, ambi- tion of preferment, an exaggerated estimate of the value of tests and legal securities, a belief in the power of direct attack and argument to counteract what he justly blamed in the so-called 'Calvinistic' part}', a their spiritual pride and exclusiveness, and their Obscurantist pro- scription of scholarship. His eager, combative temper made him waste much precious time in his controversies with this party in 1811-13, at Cambridge, and led him when bishop to impose what was virtually a new test in the evident design of purging the church from 4? Calvinists. In his controversial tracts there is singular freshness and humour, but it is often apparent that success is his principal aim ; the very term 'adversary,' which he applies to his literary opponents, shews that he entered the lists as an athlete, resolved at all events to win.

'The following publication, which is the substance of a discourse C lately held before the university of Cambridge, was principally occa- sioned by the'following circumstance. The author had been frequently asked, during his residence in Germany, What is the plan of study adopted in your universities for those, who are designed to take orders, to what branches of divinity do they particularly attend, and how many 10 years must a student have heard the different courses of theological lectures before he is admitted to an office in the church? He was unable at that time to give a satisfactory answer, because theological learning forms no necessary part of our academical education ; but he hopes that due attention will in future be given to a study that is at present 1 5 more neglected than it deserves.' P. 1 2. 'Though the greatest number of students in the two universities is designed for orders, the study of divinity is regarded as a secondary consideration ; it has till lately been thought sufficient to apply for a few months after the bachelor's degree without direction and without 20 assistance, nor has it been deemed an impropriety in our mode of education, that those should be appointed to instruct others, who have never been instructed themselves The spirit of criticism, for which this country was distinguished beyond all Europe at the end of the last and the beginning of the present century, has evaporated into 2< empty speculation on the unfruitful points of dogmatic theology.' P. 8. 'Principles of analysis being wholly laid aside, the synthetic method has been preferred from the earliest to the present age : instead of im- partially examining the sacred writings, with a view of discovering the truth, in whatever shape it may appear, we enter on the inquiry 30 with a system already adopted.'

However, as 1 o inquiries are still made after it, and several of the author's friends have signified a wish that it should be reprinted, he has ventured to lay before the public a second edition. . . . ' One good end, at least, may be answered by the publication, that they who have not time or opportunity to study more voluminous I 5 works on the subject, may be furnished, by half an hour's reading, with sufficient arguments to induce a belief in the authenticity of the Pentateuch... The author of the following essay lays no claim to the title of originality on this subject : his only merit, if he has any, is that of having arranged the evidence in a concise and perspicuous manner. 20 ' Lastly, though the alteration of a title-page is attended with the inconvenience, that what is only a re-impression of an old work may be mistaken for a new one, yet it has been deemed necessary to alter the former title, which was, " The Authenticity of the Five Books of Moses considered," to " The Authenticity of the Five Books of Mo3es 25 vindicated.'" The latter is the more appropriate title, because it is the avowed object of the essay to vindicate ; whereas the former title is applicable to an attack as well as to a defence, and might therefore occasion a misunderstanding, which it is better to avoid.' .Reprinted in Lectures on the authenticity etc. 1840, 278 296, and recently in the 30 controversy with the bishop of Natal, as follows : A key to bishop Colenso's biblical arithmetic.

This is a much more glaring mistake, than the false position of Stephens's semicircle at 1 John v. 7 : for my mark of reference is ten times as big as that of Stephens, and was set, not two only, but five lines out of its place : 5 moreover it is very conspicuous, being quite detached from the word after which it is placed, whereas Stephens's little crotchet or semi- circle is almost absorbed by the circumflex on ovpavy.

Further, the passage in question has been quoted in one of our literary journals, and so difficult is it to detect an Erratum in a mark of reference, that even in this quotation the dagger still retains 1 5 its false position.'

'In addition to the document Aleph, which contained a series of facts, another document was drawn up, containing a collection of precepts, parables, and discourses, which had been deli- J 5 vered by Christ, at different times, and on different occasions. In this collection, though many of the facts were noted, which gave rise to those precepts, parables, and discourses, no regard was paid to chrono- logical order. It was not common to all three Evangelists, for it was used only by St. Matthew and St. Luke : and those two Evangelists 20 had not the same, but different copies of it, St. Matthew's copy containing some things which were not in St. Luke's, and St. Luke's copy some things, which were not in St. Matthew's.' ' 5. St. Matthew's Hebrew Gospel ' (pp. 203, 204). ' He gave the sanction of apostolical authority to facts and discourses, which were 2 5 already recorded. Further, he made many additions, sometimes of particular circumstances, at other times of facts and discourses, which are contained, neither in the Gospel of St. Mark, nor in that of St. Luke. Lastly, he arranged and digested the whole according to his own plan.' '6. St. Luke's gospel' (pp. 205 207). "This copy [an enlarged 3 Aleph] he made the basis of the principal part of his Gospel, and adhered to it throughout even in the arrangement of the facts, not venturing to transpose any of them, as St. Matthew did.' He inserted materials from. Beth ' in that portion of his Gospel which begins with eh. ix. 15, and ends with ch. xviii. 14, a portion which consists almost 35 wholly of precepts, parables, and discourses, the few facts, which are introduced in it, being nothing more than preludes to the discourses themselves.

In this separate edition the pages of course begin with 1, 2, 3, &c. : and 1 5 it was my intention that the same numeration should take place also in those copies, which form a portion of the above-mentioned supple- mental volume.

Marsh's Course of lectures, pt. vi. Cambr. 1822, pp. 48, 49 : 'By an analysis of the three first gospels, I discovered, that the verbal harmony between the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke was of that peculiar 25 kind, that the former did not harmonize with the latter alone, except in those portions of their Gospels, where St. Mark had no matter in common with St. Matthew. This observation suggested the thought, that such verbal harmony would have been occasioned, if the Greek translator of St. Matthew's Hebrew Gospel had recourse for assistance 30 to the Gospel of St. Mark, where St. Mark had matter in common with St. Matthew, but that in those portions of St. Matthew's Gospel, where St. Luke only had matter in common with St. Matthew, the translator had recourse to St. Luke. . . The writers who have objected to my mode of explaining the verbal harmony of St. Mark and -> ^ .St. Luke with St. Matthew, have entirely mistaken the cause which I assigned. . . . The supposition of a written document, communicated by the Apostles to St. Mark and St. Luke, as stated in my Dissertation on the three first Gospels, was made solely for the purpose of explaining the matter, which St. Mark and St. Luke have in common with 40 St. Matthew. And throughout the whole of the Dissertation the supposed document was never applied to the explanation of verbal harmony.' Marsh's Reply to Dr. Milncr's Strictures, Append, pp. 21-- 24 : 'A3 the controversy on this subject has given notoriety to the Hypothesis, 4; while few men know what it really is, I will give a brief statement of it. . . . The Hypothesis consists of two distinct parts ; first, that a common Hebrew document was used by St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke ; and secondly, that the Greek translator of St. Matthew's Hebrew Gospel derived assistance from St. Mark's Gospel, when he observed, 492 '50 HERBERT MARSH. ORIGIN OF THE GOSPELS. that St. Mark had matter in common with St. Matthew, and from St. Luke'a Gospel, when St. Luke had matter in common with St. Matthew, and St. Mark had not. This second part of the Hypo- thesis, though the most important part, has been entirely overlooked by the various writers, who have attempted to confute the Hypothesis. 5 ' In the verbal harmony of the three first Gospels, there are some very extraordinary coincidences, which no one had observed, till I gave an account of them in the Dissertation, printed in 1801. I proved, by Tables of parallel and coincident passages, first, that the examples, in which all three Gospels (namely, in Greek) verbally coincide were very 10 few, and those very short ; idly, that the examples of verbal agreement between the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark were very numerous and very long ; but, 3rdly, that this verbal agreement ceases throughout all those sections of St. Matthew's Gospel where St. Mark's arrange- ment is different from that of St. Matthew; 4thly, that in the matter, 15 which is common to all three Gospels, St. Mark's Gospel never fails to agree verbally with St. Matthew's, when St. Lukes Gospel agrees verbally with St. Matthew's ; 5thly, that in the matter, which is common to all three Gospels, St. Matthew's Gospel never agrees verb- ally with St. Luke's, except when St. Luke's agrees verbally with 20 St. Mark's ; 6thly, that in the matter, which is common only to St. Matthew and St. Luke, there is a very great verbal agreement between the two Gospels. These are very remarkable facts, which no one had observed before ; and I endeavoured to discover what might be the probable cause of them. If we attempt to explain them by the 25 supposition, that the Evangelists were verbally inspired, we can discover no reason why their inspiration should have been verbal in one place, and not verbal in another, and certainly none for their being verbally inspired according to those particular rules. If we attempt to explain them on the supposition, that the Evangelists copied from each other, 3 we shall still be at a loss for a reason, why they copied verbally in some places but not in others ; and it is moreover impossible on this supposition to account for the very peculiar kind of verbal agreement. Another difficulty is, that St. Matthew must then be supposed to have written in Greek, whereas we have the strongest historical evidence, 35 that he wrote in Hebrew ' Having explained that part of the Hypothesis, which is the most material part, though no one seems to have attended to it, I will now explain the part, which has so much occupied the attention of Dr. Milner, and other controversialists. Both Origen, in his first Homily 40 on St. Luke's Gospel, and Theophylact, in the Preface to his Commen- tary on St. Luke's Gospel, observe, that there was a work, called Vjiiayyt^Kiov tCov 5u>5a. And the preface to St. Luke's Gospel itself, on which they were then commenting, speaks of Airiynais xepl rQiv irtir\r)poop-qfjit'vwv iv T)plv irpaya&Twv, KaOwt iraptb'ooav oi dir' &PXV* 45 aiiToirrai ical inrrjp^Tai ytv6p.tvoi rov \6yov. Now whether St. Luke here alluded to any particular Afqyrjais, or whether this title is meant to apply to all the narratives composed by the iroWol, of whom he speaks in hid Preface, in a question which I shall leave undecided, as ORIGIN OK THE GOSPELS. 751 the Hypothesis itself Las no dependence on it. That a Gospel, called the Gospel according to the Apostles, "really existed, whether St. Luke alluded to it or not, is attested by the ancient fathers, especially by Jerom, who speaks of the Evangelium secundum Apostolos, in his third 5 book against the Pelagians. Further, it appears from an analysis of the three first Gospels, that, if we separate the materials, which each has peculiar to itself, and take the matter, which is common to all three, we shall have a document, containing a uniform and perspicuous narra- tive of our Saviour's ministry, beginning with His baptism by John, I o and ending with His death and resurrection. This suggests the thought, that such a document might have existed ; and since there is nothing more probable in itself, than that the Apostles should be anxious to commit to writing the transactions of their divine Master, as soon as possible after His resurrection, it is very credible that they I ? did so. But we know, that the earliest of our canonical Gospels was not written till several years after the resurrection. It is a supposition therefore very credible in itself, that before any of our canonical Gospels was composed, the Apostles drew up a short narrative con- taining the materials) which are common to the three first Gospels ; 20 that the document itself was neglected and lost, when its materials had been incorporated into three more complete Gospels ; but that the remembrance of its title was preserved, and gave rise to the names of Evangelium secundum Apostolos, and EvayytXiov twv S65eKa. 'But, though it is credible, that such a document existed; though 2 5 it was icorthy of being used by our Evangelists; though the use of it could not preclude that inspiration, which prevented the Evangelists from falling into error, yet the question, whether they did use such a document, is not to be decided by an 'appeal, either to St. Luke's Pre- face, or to Origen's Homily on it, or to Theophylact's Preface to his 30 Commentary on it. As in the other part of the Hypothesis, so in this part of it, the question depends on its ability to explain what it is assumed to explain. The other part of the Hypothesis was assumed to explain the peculiarities in the verbal harmony of the Gospels; this part of the Hypothesis was intended to explain the peculiarities in the ->e contents of the Gospels. The two parts are perfectly consistent with each other; and, when taken together, they explain every thing, which we want to explain. The facts themselves, which we want to explain, were stated at full length in the Dissertation ; as far as I know, no one has attempted to disprove them ; and as for denying them without an 40 examination of them, such denials are entitled to no attention. But if the facts themselves are true, the Hypothesis must be tried, by inquiring, first, whether it will account for those facts; secondly, whether any other Hypothesis can account for those facts. Now I know that my Hypothesis does account for them; and I have never seen any other 45 Hypothesis that will do the same.'' Simon, Litcratur d. Theologie, Lpz. 18 13, p. 17, calls the Dissertation 'excellent' ('in seiner trefflichen Abhandlung'). Eichhorn, who in his Einleitung in das N. T.

There is no boast of improve- ment in the title page of the later editions, hut Marsh was not idle, see 11. 852, ed. iv. : ' Thus far I had written in the first edition of these 15 notes : but since that time I have accurately collated the Complutensian text, and have seen with my own eyes that Griesbach's opinion is well founded. I have examined the Complutensian edition throughout whole books, and have found that the readings of ancient manuscripts, which are not at the same time contained in modern manuscripts, are 20 not contained in the Complutensian edition.' See other additions, " 563, 572, 573, 616, 700, 701, 734, 767. Rosenmiiller's additional notes are cited I. 466 ; yet it appears e.g. from n. 6245, that Marsh did not revise the later editions throughout; therefore Rosenmiiller's translation is still a valuable 25 adjunct to the English original. Marsh allowed himself to rearrange the matter of Michaelis, to omit what was elsewhere accessible in English or Latin, and what was of trifling value (see e.g. I. 363, 385, 403, 469, 516, 52r, n. 865, 877, in. pt. 2, 108, 124, 155). For his additions he used not only other works of Michaelis (ill. pt. 2, 5, 86, 20 120 etc.), and all other printed materials, but the help of friends, e.g. of Paulus for the Syriac version (n. 540 544, 560), of Eberhard and Schulze for the Syrian liturgy (11. 560, cf. I. 472) ; of a friend for the Cod. Claromont. (11.727, 728). He cites with perfect impartiality writers of all schools; e.g. A. A. Sykes, (1. 471, 473 478, 490) 35 Gilb. Wakefield (l. 44S), J. S. Sender (r. 360: 'who has made a more particular study of ecclesiastical history perhaps than any man that .ever lived;' ibid. 516: 'I have taken the liberty to abridge this para- graph, as our author's remarks, witli respect to J)r. Sender, breathe rather a spirit of personal enmity, than that of cool and critical enquiry, aq This is not the place to examine Dr. Seiuler's principles of criticism ; it is sufficient to observe that they are held in high esteem by the best judges.' ir. 640, 641 : ' Our author is here totally silent in regard to the merits of the immortal Sender, who was the first critic that ventured to call into question tho opinion of Wetstein, and to defend ^5 the Codices Gncco- Latini against the charge, which Wetstein had laid to them The original genius of this great critic and divine, permitted him in no case to be a blind follower of the opinion of others, he ascended constantly to the source itself, examined with his own MICHAELIS. 753 eyes, ami made more discoveries in sacred criticism, and ecclesiastical history, than the envy of his contemporaries has been willing to admit.' Ibid. 679, 724, 726, 759), Wm, Winston (in. pt. 2, 41 43), Jos. Priestley, John Jebb, &c. He was acquainted with Reiz (11. 901): 5 ' I have been told by the late learned Professor Reiz, that he had frequently heard Eugenius, a Greek Priest, who is now Archbp. of Cherson, read Greek verse, during his residence in Leipzig, that Eugenius distinctly marked by his pronunciation both accent and quantity; lengthening the sound, without raising the tone of his voice, I o when he pronounced a long syllable which had not an acute accent, and raising the tone of his voice, without lengthening the sound, when he pronounced a short syllable which had an acute accent.' In n. 586 Marsh held out a promise which he never performed : ' The whole of this essay [by Woide in the Kielische Beitrage, III. l 5 ! 100], which contains not only historical but critical accounts of the Egyptian versions both Coptic and Sahidic, highly deserves to be translated into English, a task which I shall perhaps undertake when the present work is completed.' The freedom of Marsh's criticisms will appear from the following 20 extracts (1. 366) : 'Epiphanius . . has produced a list of passages which he say3 had been wilfully corrupted by Marcion, and which, with the answers, take up not less than sixty-two folio pages. But as the zealous father ungenerously ascribed the worst of motives to those who differed from his opinion, it is at least a matter of doubt whether the 2 ^ charge be grounded.' Ibid. 367 : 'This is the common refuge of the antient fathers, who made no scruple, when pressed by their adversa- ries, to lay the charge [of altering the Gospel] to those whom they branded with the title of heretic. But candour and impartiality oblige us to admit with great caution accusations of this nature, as we have -'O evidence on only one side of the question, it having been formerly the policy of the ruling party to suppress the writings of their adversaries.' Ibid. 526, 527 : 'This admirable chapter has been written by our author with the coolness and impartiality of a profoundly learned critic, without the least regard to any party whatsoever. In subjects 3 C purely theological, he has at all times abided by the established doctrine of the Lutheran Church, of which he was a member ; but in points of simple criticism, he investigates the truth with all the aid of learning, indifferent as to the event, and wholly unconcerned whether the con- clusions, that may be drawn from his inquiries, are favorable to his 40 own system, or to that of his opponents. The attention which has been paid to apparent trifles, both in the text itself, and the notes of the translator, may frequently appear superfluous ; but let no one forget that accuracy and impartiality are the two great virtues of a critic, and that objects of no importance in themselves lead not seldom 45 to consequences of the greatest moment. Lastly, we may derive this useful lesson from the foregoing chapter, that charity and moderation towards those, whose sentiments are different from our own, are the greatest ornaments of those who bear the name of Christian.

Michaelis, IT. 86", 868: 'Our author bere censures Wetstein very unjustly, and the charge of partiality, which he lays to that eminent IO critic, recoils upon himself. Polemical divinity must be totally sepa- rated from sacred criticism, for a reading is not rendered spurious by its opposition to an established creed, nor genuine by their agreement. The text of the Greek Testament must be determined, before articles can be formed from it, and we argue in a circle, if we condemn a text 1 tj as spurious because it contradicts a theological system, when that very system depends on the authenticity of the text. The only business of a critic is impartially to weigh the evidence which may be brought for or against a reading, and to determine on that side on which the scale preponderates.' 20 Marsh often, and most successfully, vindicates the critical character both of Wetstein and Griesbach ; he adds (II. 834) the description of 177 MSS. unnoticed by Michaelis; he shews a singular knowledge of the literature of his subject, and seems to have collected a very complete biblical library. Like Lardner and Wakefield, he omits accents in this 25 and other early books ; the influence of Porson made this slovenly habit i?npossible for him in his later publications. His style bears one or two traces of his long familiarity with German, e. g. in the position of the negative after the verb, and in his use of the pronoun to (' w r ith exception to," in. pt. 2, 138). 20 Marsh betrays a fondness for music e. g. I. 457 : ' We may say with equal propriety of the French harp, that it has thirty-four chords, or thirty-four demi-tones, but no man would therefore conclude that the words cbord and demi-tone have the same import.'

Michaelis 40 II. 726 : 'the translator of this Introduction, though the German is as familiar to him as his native language, has been obliged more than once to translate a sentence word for word, of which he has been wholly unable to comprehend the meaning.'

As Wetstein had given a collation of the MS. only in 1 Jo. 2. 23. and 5. 7, there was a general desire for a complete collation at least of that epistle.

By the 5 translator of Mkhaelis. Leipzig. Printed for the author by C. F. Solbrig. 1795. 8vo. pp. xxxi. and 344. Preface dated Leipzig 20th June 1795. ' In the beginning of the year 1793, 'while I was printing my notes to the second volume of Michaelis's Introduction, I examined the manu- IO scripts of the Greek Testament, preserved in the University Library. of which I had made a catalogue in the preceding summer. My attention was particularly engaged by that, which was marked Kk. 6. 4 : a manuscript containing the Acts of the Apostle3, with the Catholic Epistles, and those of St. Paul. I found on examination that I 5 it bore the appearance of a very respectable antiquity, that its readings were in numerous examples different from the common printed text where the deviations were supported by very few other authorities' (p. 3). 'I observed the name of Vatablus (who was Hebrew Professor in the University of Paris, and died about the middle of the sixteenth 20 century) written on the inside of the cover, . . . which led me to further inquiries, and first excited the suspicion, that this manuscript might have been one of those, which were used by R. Stephens for his editions of the Greek Testament, printed in 1546, 1549 and 1550, because Vatablus was one of Robert Stephens's intimate friends, and 25 was likewise connected with him in his literary pursuits' (pp. 4, 5). Of Stephens's MSS., for various reasons, only two, ta and ty, could ]K>3sibly be identified with the Codex Vatabli. In the Catholic epistles Stephens has cited ty alone for readings in twenty-five places. These 'singular readings' all appear in the codex Vatabli (pp. 7, S) ; while no 30 other known MS. contains even a sixth part; Cod. Alex, alone contains four, no other known MS. more than one; and all collated MSS. together only 1 1 (pp. 8, 9 ; Reply to Milner's Strictures, App. pp. 4, 5 ; note to Michaelis, ed. IV, II. 795). Appendix III. proves 'that the Velesian readings were taken imme- 35 dhitely, neither from Greek, nor even from Latin MSS., but from Robert Stephens's edition of the Vulgata published at Paris in 1540: that the object, which the marquis of Velez had in view, in framing this collection of readings, was to support, not the Vulgate in general, but the text of this edition in particular, wherever it varied from the 10 text of Stephens's Greek Testament, printed in 1 550: and that with this view he translated into Greek the readings of the former which varied from tho latter, except where Stephens's Greek margin supplied him with the readings which ho wanted, where he had only to tran- ttcribe, and not to translate.' See on these readings Marsh's Michaclis, 45 11. S24, Home's Introduction, ed. 10, iv. 112; Middleton, On Itie Greek Article, 184 1, 482. Is. Milner laid himself open to a severe chastisement eighteen years afterwards. See his Strictures, p. 202: 'I do not wilfully mistake LETTERS TO TKAVIS. POUSON. 757 Dr. Marsh's meaning when I suppose that, in all probability, lie considers his translations, notes, and criticisms, as meriting the appel- lation of labours in divinity.' Marsh, in his letters to Travis, had endeavoured to calculate the exact chances of the identity of 17 and 5 codex Vatabli. Milner offhand condemns the theorem (' I do not mean to trouble the reader with the tedious and intricate algebraical processes of Dr. Marsh. Probably these may be all correct. I have not so much as examined the detail with any degree of attention,' p. 242,) and adds that he once took occasion to ask Porson's opinion 1 o 'both on the main question respecting the identity of those two MSS. and also on the propriety of applying such a theorem as that of Dr. Marsh to such a purpose. The Professor's answer was, that he had not, at that time, examined the point relative to the identity of the MSS. ; but the mathematical theorem, he signified, was totally inapplicable to the j 5 subject' (ibid. 252). Milner does not disguise his conviction that his own services to theology were superior to Marsh's ; see the pitiable brag in pp. 272 275. In Marsh's Reply to the Strictures, App. sect. I. pp. 3 20 (cf. the Reply itself, p. 5) is headed : 'The Principle, on which the Theorem 20 was founded, for determining the Identity of Manuscripts, defended against the Objections of Dr. Milner,' etc. On Milner's report of Porson's words he says (pp. 1 9, 20) : ' Here Dr. Milner states a fact, and an opinion: the fact that... Person, according to his own account, had not then examined the question about the identity of the MSS. 2 - and the Professor's opinion on the applicability of the Theorem. Now this conversation could not have taken place before 1795 ; for it was in that year that the Theorem was published. But I have proof positive, that in July 1794, Porson had examined the question, and that he had decided in my favour. It was a question, in which Porson was at that ^o very time particularly interested; the 17 is one of the MSS. quoted by Stephens at 1 John v. 7 ; and therefore if Kk, 6, 4, is this very ty, it settles a question which had been disputed between him and . . Travis. So important did the question then appear, that at the end of 1 793, or at the beginning of 1794, a Grace passed the Senate for leave 25 to send Kk, 6, 4, to Chester, that Mr. Travis might have every opportu- nity of proving them different MSS. But before it was sent, it was collated by some of my friends throughout the Acts and the Epistles of St. Paul, as I had collated only the Catholic Epistles : and of this collation a copy was sent to me at Leipzig. About May or June 1794, 40 Mr. Travis's book appeared, in which the MSS. were pronounced differ- ent. This brought. . . Porson to Cambridge, to examine the question more minutely ; and the late Mr. Jones [Tho. Jones, originally of St. John's, senior wrangler in Marsh's year, 1 779, and tutor to the second wrangler, Marsh, Who printed a short Memoir of him in 1S08], of Trinity college, 45 wrote me a Letter, dated July 24, 1794, on the question then at issue between Mr. Travis and myself, which contains the following sentence : Porson came lately down to Cambridge: his principal object was to examine this question ; and I have great pleasure in assuring you, that he lias established your opinion as to the identity of the two manu- scripts, beyond the possibility of a doubt.' Marsh had also reason to 8 HERBERT MARSH. LETTERS TO TRAVIS. believe that Porson thought his Theorem applicable to the case. The collation of the Pauline epistles and the Acts further established the identity of the MSS. (p. 4). Knittel, before Marsh, had 'examined by mathematical rules the evidence, for and against the readings of the Greek Testament, and applied for that purpose even Algebraical series' 5 (Notes on Michaelis, Vol. 2, 1793, 533). No wonder that a second wrangler could not resist the temptation. Griesbach (Prolegom. ed. 1796, xxix): 'Stephani 17 detectus nuperest a Marshio in publica bibliotheca Universitatis Cantabrigiensis, ubi sigla Kk, 6, 4, notatus est. Quondam Vatabli fuerat, amici Stephani. Hunc omnino codicem Stephani 17 10 esse, validissimis argumentis evicit Marshius.' The MS. is cited as Act. 9. Paul. 11. and no one now doubts that Marsh proved his point. See Scrivener's Introduction, 1861, 187, 301 ; and his index s. v. Marsh. In Marsh's Lectures, no. 27 of the original series, or n. 5 of Lectures 1 5 on the Authenticity and Credibility of the New Test. 1840, are some further remarks on 1 Jo. v. 7, which may be consulted by those who are puzzled by Mr. Chas. Forster's attempt (1867) to reinstate that spurious verse. H. Marsh, Letters to Travis, p. 152: 'If I had been in Cambridge, 20 when I wrote these Letters, I should have examined these readings, insignificant as they are : but having already received the important and decisive documents, I was unwilling to give my friends the unne- cessary trouble of seeking for those, which, if found, would be of no value.' 2 5 Ibid. 1 50 : 'I am informed by my friends in England that you are at present very busily employed at Chester, in collating the Codex Vatabli, which you have borrowed for that purpose from the Univer- sity of Cambridge ; and that you are endeavouring to discover contra- dictions between the readings of this MS. and the quotations ascribed 30 in Stephens's margin to the Codex 17. It is therefore not improbable that before my defence arrives in England, (if it ever should arrive, for I have some doubts whether it will be conducted into a British or a French harbour) you will have made a second attack. I hope, how- ever, that I have conducted the proof of the identity of the manuscripts 35 in such a manner, as not only to have answered the objections, which you have already made, but also to have anticipated those, which you probably will make : and if on examining your next publication, 1 should find that this is really true, I shall think it unnecessary to trouble either yourself or the public with any future replies, but shall 40 leave the learned to determine from the documents, which have been laid before them.' [H. C. A. Eichstiidt to Ric. Porson, Jena 1 March i8or (in The Correspondence of M. Porson, ed. by II. R. Luard, Cambr. 1867, 67, (>8): 'Magna mihi olim, quum in Academia Lipsiensi bonas literas 45 docerem, intercessit farniliaritas cum Herberto Marsh, praestantissimo viro : qui etsi propriis et eximiis eminebat ingenii doctrinaeque virtuti- bu8, tamen a Tuo, Vir celeberrime, favore Tuaque amicitia multo potiorem mihi habere commendationem videbatur.

Tohis acquaintance with Porson Marsh no doubt owed much. I cite this letter here, not only because it c connects the two authors of Letters to Travis, but because the difficulties of transport, which Marsh says that he feared for his book, actually delayed Eichstiidt's letter, who says in a P.S. Jena 23 May 1801 {ibid. 69) : ' Accidit online valde infausto, Praestantissime Porson, ut Ham- burgo mihi remittantur literae, quas duobus abhinc mensibus...ad Te 10 dederam. Nam publicae vecturae nescio quae difficultas obstiterat, quo minus iter suum in Britanniam vestram conficerent.'] Ibid. 153 : 'I undertake the laborious task of wading through your collation of the Paris manuscripts ; chusing rather to exhaust the subject, now I am once engaged in it, than to be interrupted at a 1 5 future period, when I have resumed the work [the second part of Michaelia's introduction to the N. T.], from which our controversy has obliged me during many months to desist' P. 80 : ' the zeal of one of my Cambridge friends, whose name I should be happy to mention, has procured for me unsolicited an en- 20 graving of the name of Vatablus as it is written both at the beginning, and at the end of our manuscript.' P. 16: 'I acknowledge, that I have the misfortune to be very short- sighted.' He seems to have been a musician (p. 125) : 'in the same manner as 2 5 we play on the harpsichord, without looking at the keys.' The account (pp. 260 262) of his discovery of the source of the Velesian readings gives a lively picture of his diligence : 'for the copy [of Stephens's Vulgate 1540], which I have used, I am indebted to the friendship of Dr. (Iriesbach, in Jena.' 3 In p. 284, after quoting the Syriac version in the original: ' Whether there is the same ambiguity in the Ethiopic, I know not, as I am not acquainted with that language : and I acknowledge, that in the exami- nation of its readings, I was obliged, like Mill, to have recourse to the Latin translation of Dudley Loftus.' 35 An essay on the English national credit: or, an attempt to remove the apprehensions of those who have money in the English funds. By C.L.A. Patje, president of the board of commerce and finance at Hanover. London : Printed for R. Marsh, No. 49, Fleet Street. 1797, 8vo. pp. v and 39. Translator's preface, signed Herbert Marsh, Leipzig, May 40 '8, 1797. 'Written chiefly with the view of removing the apprehensions of those Hanoverians who have money in the English funds : but since it is equally interesting to every Englishman who has property at stake, and I myself have received no small consolation from it, I have thought 45 proper to present it to my native country in an English translation. It was written in the month of March immediately after the intelligence arrived that the bank of England had suspended its payments in cash 'GO MARSH. HISTORY OF THE POLITICKS ' When the bank of England suspended its payments in money, the course of exchange between England and Germany was 6 dollars X German groats for every pound sterling, which is above is. 6d. more than the pound sterling contains intrinsic value The exchange ha* not only not fallen, but has risen, and I have received this very day 5 for a draft drawn on London 6 dollars ioi groats, which is about 2S. in the pound more than the pound sterling is intrinsically worth: the consequence of which is, that the German merchants and bankers, who have remittances to make to England, choose rather to send hard cash, and thus increase the quantity of circulating species in England, than i o purchase bills of exchange at so high a price ; and it is confidently said that the remittances which have been made to England in gold anil silver within the last month amount to not less than a million of pounds sterling. All this is the more extraordinary, as in the summer of.... 1795 the exchange was not only under par, but down as low as 5 dollars 1 i 1 4 groats : of which the consequence was, that the gold coin of England began to be exported; aud had this low exchange continued, more would have been exported than the amount of the Imperial loans and the Prussian subsidy. The late stoppage of payment at Vienna pro- duced a very different effect from the same measure in England: for 20 no sooner was paper substituted in the place of coin, than the discount arose to an enormous amount. And the French, with all the spoils of Italy, and a most advantageous peace with the Emperor, have not been able to give value to their mandats : for on the 25th of April they stood at one per cent, and within the last three weeks have lost 25 all currency. When we consider therefore, that the credit of England still remains unshaken, we may conclude, that though the situation of our finances is at present embarrassed, we have no reason to despair. 1 Ui&torischc Uebersiclit dcr Politik England* vnd Frankrcichs, von dtr Zcit dcr Conferenz zu PUlnitz bis zur Kriegscrkliirung gcgen England }G durchaut auf auUientiach.cn Actcnstiickcn, wclchc sorgfdltig angefilhrt sind, begriindet; von Herbert Marsh.

This essay was attacked by J. W. v.

Marsh, Reply to Dr. Mil-Tier's Strictures, 129, 130: 'When in 1 798 the public opinion on the Continent ran like a torrent against England, and the miseries, occasioned by the war in Germany, excited a clamour against us as the reputed authors of it; when the Journalists in the pay of France teemed with abuse of England, and they, who 5 were attached to us, were afraid to defend us, I laid aside theology to vindicate my country. I stood alone against a host of adversaries, who loaded me with invectives, though with invectives far short of Dr. Milner's. But T persevered ; and I changed the public opinion, from hatred of England, to praises of England. In a work, written in the 10 German Language, I proved that we were not the authors of the war : and I had the satisfaction to receive from every part of Germany the most ample acknowledgements from the very persons, who had pre- viously reproached us. As this work, which in 1800 I published in English, must be known to Dr. Milner, he might have had recourse to 15 it, when he was 30 anxious to satisfy the inquiries, Who and what is Dr. Marsh]' The evidence for the authenticity and divine inspiration of the Apo- calypse stated and vindicated from the objections of the late professor F.

Randolph complained that Michaelis and Marsh 'have, in several instances, arrived at conclusions, which 50 764 MARSH AND RANDOLPH. derogate from the character of the sacred books, and consequently are injurious to Christianity.' Marsh proves that Randolph has mis-stated his expressed opinions. Letter in. vi. pp. u 39, are employed in the defence of the hypothesis on the origin of the Gospels, which Randolph had censured 5 as unworthy, as complex, as degrading to the Evangelists, and as inconsistent with a belief in their inspiration. . Marsh held (p. 16) ' a never-ceasing superintendence to guard the Evangelists from error.' Marsh's hypothesis might have been overthrown by a proof, 1, that he had mistaken the phsenomena to be solved ; 1, that his IO hypothesis did not solve them ; 3, that another hypothesis solved them as well, or better. Randolph did not attempt to prove any one of the three ; but complained of the lack of historical evidence in its favour, forgetting that a fundamental part of the hypothesis was, that St. Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew. The assumed Hebrew 15 document never said to be identical with the Gospel according to the Hebrews. Justin's Memoirs of the Apostles not our four Gospels, but some single Gospel.

Sixty of these pages relate, or are intended to relate, to the hypothesis on the origin and composition of the three first canonical Gospels Whatever 35 observations it may be necessary to make, either on the remaining ten pages of Notes, or on those among the sixty, which relate not to the hypothesis, they shall be separated from the main body of the work and placed in an Appendix. * ' I except, however, the last page, which, if it had not l>een reprinted, would have made the discovery at once.' See p. viii : 'a book, which has hung so heavy on hand, that the unsold copies were sufficiently numerous to serve for a scrond edition.' 1'. 46 : 'I ask him, as an honest man, why he has repeated this false representation in the second edition of his Remarks. It is true, that those Remarks have not been reprinted: but most men, rather than re|>eat what they knew to be false, would be at the expense of cancelling at least one leaf. My adversary thought it worth his while to cancel the last leaf, in order to get a catch-word for "Notes," and to make his n-aders believe, that he was giving them a new edition of his Remarks, when he was imposing on them the old one. It would have been better, to have cancelled a leaf or two, for the sake of truth.' ORIOIX OF THE GOSPELS. 705 ' The greatest part of his Preface contains either personal reflexions on me, or relates to what he supposes to have been personal reflexions on him.. ..When I wrote my Answer to his Remarks, I wrote in perfect ignorance of the person of the author. He had refused, as he still 5 refuses, to put his name to his work : and though report now ascribes it to a particular person, yet that report had not reached my ears, nor I believe the ears of any man in Cambridge, till some time after my Answer had been published. But if the person of the author was wholly unknown to me, it is manifest, that no personal affront could I O have been offered him. Even now I haVe no authority to assert that the report is true. The author himself has not sanctioned it : for he still remains anonymous in his Reply. And as to internal evidence, it is strongly against the report. When any writer makes an attack upon another, and yet conceals himself from public view, he betrays 15 either a want of courage or a want of generosity: and it would be strange indeed, if that man were anonymous, who ought on two accounts to acknowledge his name and character, when he writes on subjects of Divinity. 1 P. v : 'If then my anonymous adversary is really a man of great 20 importance, and expected therefore to find in my Answer all that defer- ence and submission, which are paid to dignity of office, he should have given me due information of that dignity. But he left me to judge, merely from the merit of his pamphlet, of the portion of respect which was due to its author.' 25 Pp. vi. vii: 'I had more than usual provocation I ask, whether it was necessary for my adversary's cause, that he should declare in his title-page and advertise in the daily papers, that he wrote against me " by way of caution to students in Divinity?" I ask, whether that motto does not tend to do me an injury in my professional character; ~>0 au injury therefore whicli might be accompanied with losses beyond the power of my adversary to repair?' P. xvii : ' It would have been foreign to my subject to have entered into the inquiry, whether the ' XiroixvqtxovtvfjLaTa tQv 'Atto(tt6\cx)v quoted by Justin meant our four Gospels, or, according to the opinion of many 35 eminent critics, some single Gospel, which had much matter in common with our three first Gospels, but which was not the same with any of them. I had carefully examined the arguments on both shies, and was convinced that the latter opinion was the true one: it had been familiar to me for many years, and I had mentioned it in a note to the first a volume of Michaelis's Introduction.' Pp. xx. xxi : 'I must apologize for the late appearance of this publica- tion, having given notice as long ago as last November, that a Re- joinder to my adversary's Reply (then just printed), would soon be published. I perceived even from a cursory examination, that his Reply 45 no more affected the truth of my Hypothesis, that his Remarks had done. I resolved therefore to be very concise in my Rejoinder; and, as I in- tended to go to Cambridge in a few days, for I was then in London, I expected that it would be ready before Christinas. But an engage- ment of some importance to myself obliged ine to stay in London 502 76G MARSH AND RANDOLPH. till the sixth of January ; and being at a public coffee-house, I could not well compose a treatise on critical theology. Upon my arrival at Cambridge I found it was the opinion of my friends, that I should enter fully into my adversary's Reply. I extended my plan accord- ingly, and hence arose the volume, which I now present to the public. 5 Another cause of delay was a severe illness, which for some time im- peded my progress, and at last wholly interrupted my labours during the space of a month. Both in writing and in printing therefore I have not employed more than sixteen weeks : and when the minuteness of investigation, which will appear in the Appendix as well as in the 10 Illustration of the Hypothesis, is considered, I hope I shall not be accused of unnecessary delay. I hope likewise it will be the last time of my writing on this subject. At all events, if my adversary persists in remaining anonymous, or if he continues to argue against my hypothesis in the same manner, as he hitherto has done, I shall not 1 5 think it necessary, to waste my time and my health by a continuation of the controversy.' Introduction pp. i 7. ' The Dissertation on the Origin and Com- position of our Three First Gospels, was the result of very minute investigation, and of severe labour, continued, with little interruption, 20 for several years. I entered on the inquiry about eight years ago, at Leipzig, where I then resided; and I was led to it by a controversy on this subject, which at that time engaged the general attention of the German critics. It was agreed on all sides, that the Gospels of St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke, had such a striking resemblance in 25 their matter, in their manner, and even in their words, as was in- capable of explanation, but on one of the two following suppositions ; either that they copied, the one from the other, or that all three drew from a common source The University of Gottingen proposed the Origin of the Gospels as the subject for a prize essay in 1793: and 3 the essay, which gained the prize, added new weight to the supposition of a Hebrew document. But the greatest accession of strength, which this supposition derived, was from Eichhorn's masterly analysis publish- ed in 1 794. On the other hand, Griesbach, whose critical abilities are well known, had lately published a very able defence of the old 35 opinion, and had endeavoured to prove that the Gospel of St. Mark consisted of selections from the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke... After a long and patient examination of all that had been written on both sides, I was induced to believe, that the three first Evangelists had not copied, the one from the other, but that they made some use 4 of a common document I formed a Greek Harmony of the three first Gospels, divided into classes, and containing only such parallel passages, as are delivered in the same, or nearly the same words. A Table of parallel and coincident passages being thus formed, the next step was to analyse it: and the result of this analysis was the 45 discovery of many very remarkable phenomena in the verbal harmony of the Gospels, which, till that time, were totally unknown. Thus I obtained a certain criterion, which enabled me, not merely to form a probable opinion, but to ascertain with precision the truth or falsehood of every hypothesis on the origin of the Gospels. For it is manifest, 50 ORIGIN OF TUE GOSPELS. 7G7 that whatever hypothesis be the true one, it must account for all those phenomena Having tried the existing hypotheses, and found them unsatisfactory, I endeavoured by various combinations to form new hypotheses The general supposition of a common Hebrew 5 document, which admits of a great variety of forms, and may be combined with other suppositions, was necessarily the basis of my in- quiry. The arrangements, which I made, were divided into two classes ; the one involving the supposition that St . Matthew wrote in Greek, the other involving the supposition that he wrote in I O Hebrew Lastly, among the various forms, which I could devise, on the supposition, that St. Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew, I found there was one, and one only, which could account for the phaenomena in the verbal harmony of the Gospels' P. 6 : 'I gave, in the Dissertation which I wrote on this subject, 15 a previous history of all that had been done by my predecessors. I then gave the Greek Harmony, formed upon the plan above-described ; and closed it with a statement of the phenomena which I had dis- covered by an analysis of the Harmony A full and detailed account was then given of the manner in which I had tried all other hypotheses 2 by the test of the phenomena; and these trials were succeeded by a long, a severe, and an impartial trial of my own.' ' Part 1. Examination of the questions, whether the authenticity, or the credibility, or the integrity, or the inspiration of the Gospels, be affected by the proposed hypothesis' (pp. 8 39). Gospel to the 2 5 Hebrews (pp. 17 21). St. Luke's preface (pp. 21 23). Authority of the Gospels of St. Mark and St. Luke (pp. 23 27). P. 32 : 'I readily admit that verbal inspiration is absolutely in- compatible with the hypothesis : and that either the one or the other must be abandoned In fact if we adopt a verbal inspiration, we 3 shall put an end to all inquiry into the origin of the Gospels, and con- sequently to all inquiry about the grounds of our faith.' P. 33 : 'That the manner, in which I suppose the Evangelists to have composed their Gospels, leaves unlimited scope to the operation of divine inspiration, ... is too obvious to need an explanation. It admits 35 a never-ceasing superintendence of the Spirit to guard the Evangelists from error.' ' Part 11. Examination of the question, whether the proposed Hypo- thesis is true. Chap. 1. Statement of the Test, by which the Hypo- thesis must be tried' (pp. 40, 41).

How far the hypothesis is supported by historical evidence. 45 The assumed Hebrew document, common to the synoptic gospels, might have been lost (pp. 52 59), because each of the gospels contained the whole of it, and we know that the original Hebrew of St. Matthew's Gospel was actually lost. It might have been forgotten 768 MARSH AND RANDOLPH. (pp. 5961). The silence of Eusebius does not prove that it never existed (pp. 61 64). No inherent improbability in the supposition that the Evangelists used written documents (pp. 64 66). Parallel passages of St. Mark and St. Luke, which may be translations from a common Hebrew document, with occasional insertions by the Evan- 5 gelists (pp. 67 70). St. Matthew also may have used the same docu- ment (pp. 70, 71). The inquiry into the causes of the phsenomena not useless (pp. 71 73). The phaenomena not inconsistent with the authenticity of the Gospels (pp. 74, 75). Objection from the com- plexity of the hypothesis futile; only two, not ten, original sources 10 (pp. 77 80). Pp. 79, 80 : ' Let it be supposed then, that St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. Luke had, each of them, a Hebrew manuscript containing the same text, with some marginal additions, which were not wholly the same, yet not wholly different in each of the three manu- scripts. This supposition, which is surely simple enough, contains 15 everything relative to the existence of the Hebrew document used by all three Evangelists. Secondly, let it be supposed that a supplemental Hebrew document existed, of which only St. Matthew and St. Luke had copies. As far as the existence of original documents is concerned, these two sentences contain all that it is necessary to suppose.' 20 'Chap. in. Trial of the Hypothesis by its Test' (pp. 81 128). Detailed examination of ten examples cited by Randolph as opposed to Marsh's rules respecting the verbal harmony of the Gospels (pp. 81 93). The hypothesis does sjlve the phaenomena (pp. 93 10 1). Detailed examination of the difficulties, which (according to Randolph) 25 the hypothesis leaves unexplained (pp. 102 123). No other hypo- thesis, yet proposed, will solve the phaenomena (pp. 123 128). P. 127. 'I lament that I have been under the necessity of defend- ing myself against the attacks of the British Critic : and I lament it the more, as one of the editors is an old friend, to whose Review I have 3 myself occasionally contributed. With the gentleman, who drew up the article in which my hypothesis has been censured, and that of my adversary approved, I have no acquaintance. ... I wish that the contro- versy had not been taken up in the British Critic, till the present work was ready for publication. Of my intention to write it, 1 gave notice, 35 in person, to the editor above alluded to, at the beginning of last December: and I of course expected, that the controversy would not be brought forward, and a final decision made on it, till this rejoinder, which had been formally announced, was likewise before the court. But, contrary to my expectation, and contrary to common justice, the 40 controversy was brought forward in the review for February : and my hypothesis was condemned, without either regard or reference to my expected defence. And this haste to close the account of the contro- versy, while it was still pending, is the more remarkable, as the Disser- tation on the Cospels, the very work, to which the controversy related, 45 had been left unreviewed in the British Critic at least a year and a half from the time of its publication.'

For the purpose here assigned I put together, in a Note, the heads of such arguments as occurred to me (for my library is at the distance of eight hundred miles) and procured Thirlby's edition merely to find the examples, which I remembered had been alleged, or 15 had been formerly observed by myself, in support of those arguments.' Pp- 33) 34- ' When I collated many of Justin's quotations from the Greek Bible (which was several years ago) I used the text of the Vatican Manuscript, as printed by Lambert Bos : and my reason for using this text was, that Justin Martyr lived before the time of Origen, 20 who made many corrections in the text of the Septuagint which he published in his Hexapla....As it is generally understood that the Vatican MS. contains more of this [the ante-hexaplarian] text than the Alexandrine, I had recourse to the former.'

I shall on no account write again on the subject of those Memoirs : and even now I should have been silent, if my / ' J adversary had not compelled me to write, in defence, not merely of my literary, but even of my moral character. With great reluctance did I commence the disquisition, and with still greater reluctance did I 30 pursue it. I laboured too under many disadvantages, being at a distance from my library, and wholly unassisted by any books on that side of the question, which I defended. With respect to the influence, which the inquiry may have on the canon of scripture, I acknowledge that my opinion is different from my adversary's. I am too firmly 3; persuaded of the authenticity of our four Gospels, to stand in need of Justin's quotations, in order to establish it. And as I think it neces- sary to defend their integrity, as well as their authenticity, I cannot adopt an opinion, by which that integrity would be committed. The quotations from the sermon on the mount, which have been laid before 40 the reader, . . . sufficiently prove, that, if those quotations were taken from the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke, those Gospels must have undergone considerable changes since the time of Justin. But I am convinced they have not undergone such changes: and on this account likewise I conclude that Justin did not quote from them. But 45 whether he quoted from a Greek or a Hebrew Gospel, his testimony is, in one respect, of equal importance. It proves that the acts and discourses of Christ were then on record, and consequently that they were not the inventions of a later age. It is evidence for the reality of those acts and discourses, whatever was the language of the Gospel, 50 from which he quoted them.' 770 MARSH, RANDOLPH, FALCOXER.

Did the Almighty then exert over the minds of the Apostles 15 all the influence in His power! Shall we not rather suppose, that He imparted his gifts only in such proportion, as was requisite to answer His wise purposes? How far those gifts extended, or what means the Almighty judged the best for communicating knowledge to the Apo- stles and Evangelists, it is impossible by any previous reasoning ts to 20 ascertain. It is our business to investigate, not what ought to have been done, but what icas done. When we know the latter, then we may draw an inference with regard to the former.' P. 79. ' As I have employed only six weeks in writing this Defence, it is possible that I have overlooked some things, which I might wish 2 c to notice ; and if I have, I will take the earliest opportunity of supply- ing the defect. I hope indeed, as I did before, that this is the last time of writing either on my adversary's Hypothesis, or on my own ; but if he is determined to continue the contest, I cannot now recede. However, unless we transgress the laws, which have been hitherto ob- 30 served by literary combatants, neither of us can write, in this con- troversy, above once more. The public has already seen my Disserta- tion, and his Remarks ; my Answer, and his Reply ; my Rejoinder, and his Sur-rejoinder. The present work is, in the language of the law, a Rebutter.

Marsh retorts (Reply to Milner 's Strictures, 181 3, 6, 7): 'But there is no part of Dr Milner's conduct so reprehensible, as his attempt to harrow up a 40 controversy, which had been long forgotten, and to open wounds which had been long healed. I mean the controversy, which I had in 1802, with an anonymous writer, who was then unknown to me. I was at that very time looking to the Margaret Professorship, as the only provision which I had any reason to expect. An anonymous .r pamphlet appeared against me with the motto, "By way of caution to Students in Divinity." This alone might have blasted all my ex- pectations, if the pamphlet had not been confuted : and under such circumstances it was hardly possible to write without expressions of 772 COXKOP THIRLWALL OX warmth. These produced expressions of warmth from the other party. But when the controversy had subsided, and I had learnt that my . opponent was a very respectable Prelate, we forgot our differences, and we became friends. To quote therefore, as Dr Milner has done (pp. 203 209), all the irritating expressions, which had been used by 5 both parties, thus reconciled and become friends, shews a spirit, for which we have no word in the English language. Indeed, I know that this respectable Prelate, who unfortunately for the Church is now no more, felt no less indignation than myself at Dr Milner's conduct.' Connop Thirlwall (A critical essay on the Gospel of St. Luke by 1 o Dr. Frederick Schleiermacher. With a?i introduction by the translator, containing an account of the controversy respecting the origin of the three first gospels since Bishop Marsh's Dissertation. London, 1S25. 8vo.) speaks at length of the hypothesis (pp. xxiv xlii). P. x: 'It has been frequently asserted that the hypotheses which have been invented I 5 to explain the relation of our three first Gospels to each other tend to destroy the reverence with which Christians are accustomed to regard these works as Holy Writ and containing the word of God. The principal ground of this complaint is the alleged inconsistency of these hypotheses with the inspiration of the Gospels. Bishop Marsh indeed 20 in his "Illustration" has already vindicated his own particular hypo- thesis from the charges which, in a very narrow and feeble spirit of criticism, had been brought against it on this head.' P. xix : ' Not only does Bishop Marsh's anonymous antagonist complain of the injury they [the evangelists] sustain in being degraded 25 to the office of copiers and compilers, but in the quotation above made [from Hartwell Home] the condemned hypotheses are denounced as detrimental to the character of the sacred writers, apparently on the supposition that the names of these pious men would become less dear and venerable to Christian ears if they were to lose a part of their 3 literary reputation.' Pp. xxiv, xxv : 'The adoption of Eichhorn's original Aramaic docu- ment, as the common source of our three first Gospels, is not guarded w ith the same degree of critical caution which in more minute particu- lars we have such frequent occasion to admire. The German critic's 35 ingenious and specious investigation of this supposed document, and the tempting facilities it offered for the solution of the problem, seem to have dazzled the judgement of his follower, and to have prevented him from scrutinizing this groundwork of his whole fabric with his usual vigilance. In fact in the Dissertation itself the probability of 40 such a document having ever existed is not thought deserving of any discussion ; it is first barely asserted, . . . and the description after- wards . . . given of the document A leph does not even enable the reader to ascertain the author's own opinion of its origin and design.' Pp. xxvi, xxvii: ' But it is not to be inferred, . . . that he supposed 45 the document A leph to have been drawn up with the view of furnishing materials for future history, either for any one of the apostles, or for the compiler himself, without any other immediate object. . . It would be inconceivable, how a document designed for private use and for a MABSHS DISSERTATION-. 773 particular and temporary purpose should pass so rapidly into the circu- lation implied by the labours supposed to have been bestowed uj>on it. In the Dissertation therefore the object of this work is left entirely undefined. And yet when it is closely examined, its nature proves 5 to be so peculiar and extraordinary, that unless it be accounted for by shewing its adaptation to a particular purpose, although after passing through a certain number of stages it may afford an explana- tion of the phenomena, still nothing more is gained than to transfer the reader's curiosity from one enigma to another, and to substitute for IO the problem to be solved another equally perplexing.' Pp. xxvii xxx : 'The original gospel is supposed to be contained in the forty-two sections which are common to the three evangelists. To extract it out of these sections, it is of course necessary to retrench all the circumstances in which the three writers vary from each other. . . 1 5 Now it may safely be affirmed, that the more minutely and accurately any unprejudiced person conducts the investigation, the more he will be at a loss to conceive with what design and according to what method the common matter which he will deduce by this process could have been taken down and combined into an independent whole. . . It will 20 be found that the form of the narrative is scarcely ever that in which the original communications could have been made by the apostles ; and at all events in the main it bears marks of a most studied and elaborate conciseness. It remains therefore to be explained, why the same person, who in some passages suppressed all the circumstances of the incidents communicated to him, and reduced his account to a naked memorandum absolutely useless and even unintelligible to any one not otherwise informed, should in other passages have admitted a variety of superfluous details, and have given a colouring to his descriptions. . . . For not only was chronological order neglected in it, but one of the ~0 first results from the process of comparison by which it is to be extracted will be to eliminate almost all the references of time and place which connect the parts of each Gospel together, and to reduce it to a mass of fragments. Yet these fragments cannot in ordinary language be described as materials for a history. They might indeed 35 by enlargement and interpolation acquire the bulk and shape of one ... Its peculiarity [that of Alcph] is, that it is neither a full body nor a dry anatomy ; it rather presents the appearance of a disjointed skeleton, in which some of the bones are missing, others out of their place, and the interstices are here and there covered with a fragment of 4 3 skin or flesh.' Pp. xxxi, xxxii. Marsh gave a satisfactory answer to ' the objection arising from the improbability of the original document having been lost or forgotten. Now as long as nothing more is said of this piece than that it contained materials for a history, (that is, when the word 45 materials is taken in the sense which the nature of the thing requires, for heads or memoranda,) there is certainly no difficulty in conceiving that it might be lost and forgotten, as soon as a history was composed in which the whole of it was contained. But then this same circum- stance leaves in full force another objection to the hypothesis, namely 50 the improbability, first that a translation should be made of this docu- -5 774: marsh's dissertation. ment in its imperfect and unfinished state, and then that it should have passed into circulation, and that copies of it should have been multiplied even in sufficient number to deduce from it our canonical Gospels. If indeed it was drawn up with no other view than to serve as a collection of heads or memoranda for a history, such a circulation and multiplica- 5 tion of copies would ... be quite incredible. Until some other pur- pose be assigned it remains at least improbable; and consequently the hypothesis itself is unsatisfactory.' Pp. xxxii xxxv. The complexity of the hypothesis, as regards the formation of the copies of Aleph used by the three evangelists, as IO regards the use of translations by St. Mark and St. Luke, and as regards the conduct of the translator of St. Matthew's Hebrew Gospel. ' The conduct of this translator indeed is throughout a little mysterious. Though he looked for nothing more in the two evangelists than some Greek words to assist him in his task, still instead of profiting equally 1 5 by both he confines himself constantly to one as long as the common matter lasts ; and though St. Luke's Greek is evidently the better of the two, by some unaccountable caprice he gives the preference to St. Mark.' Pp. xxxv, xxxvi. Veysie remarks, I. 'that the verbal agreement of 20 the evangelists is found chiefly in the words of our Lord or of others, and comparatively seldom in the narratives of facts.' . . . n. 'that in the sections common to all three evangelists or to St. Matthew and St. Mark alone, Bishop Marsh's hypothesis will account for those passages in which the expressions are synonymous, though different, 25 but it will not account for those passages in which, though the sub- stance is the Bame, the words are so different that they cannot be rendered differently into another language, so as to produce an exact verbal coincidence.' Pp. xxxviii xl. Veysie asks, why there are so few instances of 30 verbal agreement in Ahph between St. Mark and St. Luke, who used the same Greek translation of that portion of their gospels. There ought to be more agreement in Aleph between St. Mark and St. Luke, than between St. Matthew and St. Mark ; but Marsh allows that there is less. . - P. xL Marsh states that there are no instances of verbal coincidence in the sections common to the first and second Gospels which are placed in a different order ; but other critics deny the fact (cf. lxxxix). P. xlii. ' Upon the whole, whether we consider the foundation on which Bishop Marsh's hypothesis rests, its peculiar construction, or its 40 application to the phenomena to be explained by it, it cannot be admitted to be so completely satisfactory as to supersede the necessity of all farther inquiry.'

But as the controversy appeared to be getting into abler hands, the author had no inducement to continue an investigation of some labour and difficulty, further than was necessary for his own satisfaction.' An academical friend 'lamenting that a controversy of such importance should be 20 suffered to remain in its present undetermined state, and agreeing in opinion with the author respecting the principal point in dispute, encouraged him to proceed.' [A very calm and careful tract. Veysie assumes a plurality of documents; giving credit to Marsh for great industry and ingenuity ; but believing that his statement of the pheeno- 2 5 mena was neither exhaustive, nor free from error, and that another hypothesis would account for them better.] Connop Thirlwall, A critical essay on the gospel of St. Luke by Dr. Frederick Schleiermacher, Lond. 1825. 8vo. pp. xxxv xlii, gives an account of this tract.

The marks in Dr. Wood's copy of the various pieces in this controversy prove that he studied it with 40 interest.] Pp. 2, 3: 'Many Hypotheses of common written documents have also been made ; but no writer has so fully considered the subject, or so ably explained and defended the principle, as Dr. Marsh. . . . He has noticed, with great acuteness, many peculiarities in the Gospels, not 4 - attended to by preceding writers, and has thus been enabled not only to detect the mistakes of those who have gone before him ; but to frame an Hypothesis, which, if any supposition of a common document, or documents, could account for the appearances, has the fairest claim to 76 marsh's sermoxs our assent.' The author accepts (pp. 5, 6) Marsh's arguments to prove that the Greek translator of St. Matthew used the other gospels. P. 5 1 : ' The common source from -which the gospels of St. Mark and St. Luke, I will not say did, but might receive their peculiar character, their arrangement and language, was the preaching of 5 St. Paul.' In 1805, Marsh preached a course of sermons before the university, which gave great offence to Calvinists. Wm. Dealtry, Examination of Dr Marsh's "Inquiry,'" pp. 10, 1 1 : 'do I recollect, or do I not, certain sermons preached a few years ago, IO before the University of Cambridge, by the Rev. Herbert Marsh, with the express intention of proving that the doctrine of justification by faith alone, leads to all manner of evil and immorality ? My memory is perhaps treacherous, but 011 important occasions I can sometimes venture to rely upon it ; and though the sermons to which T refer 1 5 were delivered in the year 1805, it seems as if the concluding sentence of one of them were still sounding in my ears. Mr. Marsh had either assumed or given a sort of "abstract "demonstration, that those who preach this particular doctrine, expound it in a manner which must, of necessity, promote licentiousness. He then, if I mistake not, con- 20 eluded in terms to the following effect : "When a student has in the first place, read the Scriptures, I would then advise him to proceed to the critical consideration of the text, and next to the commentators ; and he will soon find himself compelled to abandon the doctrine of justification by faith, which that we may all do may God of His infinite 25 mercy grant" 53 : 'This labour of criticism is performed to our hands: 20 we have only to learn what others have already done, and to understand what has been done, that we may know whether it is vxll or ill done. The more convenient and cxjKditious mode of studying theology is cer- tainly to take for granted on the bare assertion of those, who are supposed acquainted with the subject, that such and such readings are 25 genuine, and that such and such readings are spurious. It is likewise a more convenient and expeditious mode of studying mathematics, when a pupil confiding in the assertion of his tutor, that the properties ascribed to the conic sections are founded in truth, proceeds to New- ton's Principia, without learning to demonstrate those properties. -?o And this confidence, this deference to the judgement of others, is not uncommon, in Mathematics as well as in Divinity. But neither in the one case, nor in the other, will this confidence be attended with conviction. Now the avowed object of these Lectures is to produce conviction. If it only be desired, in the shortest possible 35 time to learn enough of Divinity to pans an examination, the well- known publication of Dr. Arthur St George is much better fitted for the purpose.'

Pp. 2, 3 : ' From such an audience no apology can be required, for applying to the Bible the principles of reason and learning ; for, if the Bible could not stand the test of reason and learning, it could not be, what it is, a work of divine wisdom. The Bible therefore must be IO examined by the same laws of Criticism, which are applied to other writings of antiquity : and every man, who is set apart for the ministry, should consider it as his bounden duty to study with especial care that primary branch of Theology, the Criticism of the Bible.' Some passages in these lectures contain allusions to Marsh's contro- 1 5 versies at the time : as where he speaks of the sufficiency of Scripture without Roinish Tradition (pp. 10 20). Pp. 12 15 : 'When Luther therefore and Melanchthon interpreted the Bible, . . . they interpreted the Bible, as they would have inter- preted any other work of antiquity ; and for that purpose they employed 20 the erudition, by which our early Reformers were so highly distin- guished. When they abandoned therefore the guidance of Tradition, they supplied its place by Reason and Learning. ..." The Bible is its oven interpreter." To understand this expression, as it was meant by our Reformers, we must consider, that it was used in opposition to the 25 Church of Rome. It was used solely with reference to Tradition. . . . An expression, meant only to exclude Tradition, has been made a pretence for the exclusion of Theological Learning; and the maxim, that the Bible is its own interpreter, has been carried so far in the present, as well as in a former age, that men, who have scarcely read 3 the Bible, have dreamt that they are able to expound it. Nor is their inconsistency less remarkable, than their presumption. For if the Bible is absolutely its own interpreter, there can be no necessity for their interpretation.' P. 16 : 'But in rejecting Tradition as necessary to make the Bible 35 perspicuous, they never meant to declare, that the Bible was alike perspicuous, to the learned and the unlearned. If they had, they would never have supplied the unlearned with explanations of it. But the ''perspicuity of the Bible," is again an expression, which has been so construed in modern times, as if the genuine principle of Protest- 40 autism required us to reject what the authors of Protestantism have provided.' 1 1'p. 18 20: 'When Tnulition was discarded as a Rule of Faith independent of the Bible, our Reformers of course maintained, that the Bible alone contained all things, which were necessary for salvation. 4c To the Bible alone, to the Bible without Tradition, did they appeal therefore in opposition to the Church of Rome : and, that all men might bo enabled to judge, whether they rightly appealed, they wisely LECTURES, PART III. (1813). 787 insisted, that the privilege of reading the Bible should be common to all men. But the Commentaries, which they wrote, beside the Confessions of Faith, which they composed, may convince us, that when they put the Bible into the hands of the people, they thought it necessary to add 5 an explanation of it. Our Reformers therefore carried their opposition to the Church of Rome beyond the mere act of giving a Bible without note or comment. The sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures without the aid of Tradition, did not imply in their opinion the inutility of all explanation. Nor, because the Bible contains all things which are IO necessary for salvation, did our Reformers conclude, that in giving the Bible alone, they did all things, which were wanted on their parts, for religious instruction. When Tradition was discarded, the Bible only became the religion of the Protestant ; the Bible only was recognized as the fountain of religious truth. But so apprehensive were the early 1^ Reformers, that the streams, which might be drawn from it, would lose the purity of their source, and become tainted in their progress, unless care were taken to lead them into proper channels, that these Reformers employed the most strenuous exertions, to prevent their flowing either to Popery again, or in any other direction, where falsehood might be 20 mingled with the truth. It was chiefly for this purpose, that they com- posed both Expositions of Scripture, and those Confessions of Faith, to which their followers assented 011 the ground, that our Reformers had rightly explained the Scripture. On this ground we assent in particular to our own Liturgy and Articles : and if we neglect them, we neglect 2C the Faith, to which we profess ourselves attached.' Dependence of the authorized version on the Vulgate and on Luther (pp. 30 35). Our version requires amendment (pp. 35 41). Pp. 36, 37 : ' Would it not be thought absurd, if a man ignorant of Greek undertook to write a Commentary on Homer, or a man ignorant ^O f Latin to write a Commentary on Virgil? And is it not equally absurd, to comment on the New Testament without a knowledge of Greek, or on the Old Testament without a knowledge of Hebrew ? A knowledge of Greek is, in a greater or less degree, attained by all, who have had the benefit of a learned education. But a know- 35 ledge of Hebrew, which is equally required from the foreign Protestant clergy, is considered as less necessary in this country.' Pp. 50 54 : ' If we find by experience, that the understanding of the New, as well as the Old Testament, requires extensive knowledge, we must argue accordingly. Instead of the gratuitous supposition, that 40 things ought to have been otherwise, we must conclude that things ought to be, as we rind they really arc ; instead of complaining about difficulties, we must endeavour to surmount them, by obtaining the knowledge, which God has given us the means of obtaining, and which, from its very necessity, we may conclude, it is our duty to obtain. . . . We must 45 understand an inspired writer, as well as a common writer; or we shall not know what his propositions are. And the very circumstance, that his propositions must be true, should make us the more anxious to investigate their meaning. But how shall we investigate their meaning, unless we interpret the words by the rules, which we apply to other 788 HERBERT MARSH. LECTURES, PART in. (1813). writings ? . . . It is true, that if we interpret the Scriptures by the aid of reason and learning, we must resign all pretensions to that infallibi- lity, which is claimed by those, who aspire to the influence of the Spirit; whether that influence is supposed to display itself in the assurances of an individual, or in the decrees of a general council. But 5 on the other hand, there are advantages, which compensate for every defect. The man, who interprets Scripture by the aid of reason and learning, without being elated by the supposition of a supernatural interference ou his account, will apply, no less modestly than industri- ously, the means which Providence has placed within his reach, io While he uses his honest endeavours to discover the truth, he will pray to God for a blessing on those endeavours ; he will pray for that ordinary assistance of the Holy Spirit, without which all our en- deavours must be fruitless. ... If the final results of his interpreta- tion should be such, as in points of doctrine to agree with the de- 1 5 ductions, which he has learnt as articles of faith, he will rejoice at the coincidence, and be thankful, that his labours are thus rewarded. . . . He believes indeed, and he asserts, that his oicn is the true religion. Yet he thinks it right, that other men should also have the liberty of believing and asserting, that theirs is the true religion. And he 20 submits with humility to that Almighty Being, who alone cannot err, to determine, whether he, or they, be really in possession of what each possesses in his own belief Pp- 5 7> 58 : 'It may appear superfluous to plead for reason and learning in a University like this, where mathematical acumen and 25 classical literature go hand in hand. But it is the misfortune of many well-intentioned young men, to have been seduced into a belief, that the acuteness of reasoning, which is wanted in mathematics, and the learn- ing, which they employ in the study of the classics, may be laid aside as useless, nay, even as an encumbrance, when they transfer their 30 inquiries to religion. The words of maris wisdom are then exchanged for a supposed demonstration of the Spirit. . . . The wisdom of this world, which St. Paul advised the Corinthians to reject, is very different from that, which is meant by human learning : indeed so different, that they, who are least acquainted with the latter, are often 35 best acquainted with the former.' There are excellent remarks on the mischiefs of allegorical, as op- posed to grammatical interpretation (pp. 95 1 17). ' Indeed the early Fathers, by tht.-ir injudicious conduct in the interpretation of the Bible, not only affected many parts of its history, but placed the Bible itself 40 in a very false and injurious light. Though they silenced, by the aid of Allegory, their immediate opponents, who argued on the same ptrin- ciples, yet the very circumstance, that principles, applied to the deft nee of the Heathen mythology, were applied also to the defence of the liible, could produce no other effect, than that of degrading the latter to the 45 level of the former' (pp. 102, 103).

The existence of secondary senses can be previously established by no system whatever. In every single instance -, r they depend entirely on the authority of Christ and His Apostles. Explanation of this position. Some passages of the Old Testament, which are quoted in the New Testament, are applied, neither as prophecy in a primary sense, nor as prophecy in a secondary sense, but merely in the way of accommodation.'' 10 Pp- 7> 8: 'Since in this particular instance our Church has been lately [by Chas. Simeon] subjected to severe and unmerited censure, the occasion requires a few additional remarks in its defence. Our twenty-seventh Article declares that "Baptism ... is also a sign of regeneration or new birth." ... In the several services for Baptism, as 45 also in the service for Confirmation, Regeneration is represented as an essential part of Baptism. . . . Nothing can be clearer on this subject than our Catechism. ... If then we detach regeneration from baptism, we not only fall into the absurdity of making the outward act a visible sign of nothing to be signified, but we destroy the Sacrament of Baptism 50 as a Sacrament, altogether. It is essential to a Sacrament, that the 790 HERBERT MARSH. LECTURES, PART IV. (1816). outward act be accompanied with an inward grace. If Baptism therefore, as some pretend, is nothing more, than " an outward work of man upon the body," it is a perfect mockery of religion to retain it as a ceremony in our Church : for if such only be Baptism, it has no more to do with the coucerns of religion, than the common ablutions of 5 domestic life.' Pp. ii, 12: 'And since that peculiar grace, which is called Regene- ration, is a grace, which is conferred on us only once in our lives, (for it is a different thing from renovation) the Sacrrment, which we receive only once in our lives, and which then admits us to the IO Christian Covenant, would appear to be the appointed means of confer- ring that grace, even if St. Paul had not declared it. But that St. Paul has declared it cannot admit a doubt. ... It is strange therefore, that such efforts should now be made to detach Regeneration from Baptism; though we must acknowledge, that in the estimation of 1 5 those, who make such efforts, the separation is highly useful. For, as soon as Regeneration is detached from Baptism, it may be employed on other occasions : it may be made the instrument of conversion at a later age : and thus the pangs of the new birth may become tokens of admission to that holy state, which the converts are taught to expect in 20 vain from a Sacrament deprived of its spiritual grace. But strange as this doctrine may appear, it is yet more strange, that men should detach Regeneration from Baptism, and still pretend to be Churchmen.'' Simeon is again cited p. 13. The first part of these lectures was reviewed in the Quarterly for 25 Febr. 1810 (ill. 205 218). P. 207 : 'The known ability and established character of the writer increase the interest which the importance of the subject is calcu- lated to excite. From the translator of Michaelis the theological world is prepared to expect all that can be effected by diligence of research, 30 closeness of reasoning, and extent of erudition, towards the elucidation of any department of study to which his attention may be directed.' P. 208 : ' We are much pleased with the manly tone in which he recommends a keen and close inquiry into the grounds of religious belief.' The reviewer approves of Marsh's arrangement of the various 35 branches of theology ; but thinks that the individual student, at the beginning of his course, may take for granted the general accuracy of the text of Scripture, and proceed to interpretation and evidences first. These four courses of lectures have been republished in one volume : Lectures on the criticism and interpretation of the Bible, with two preli- 40 minary lectures on theological study and theological arrangement. A new edition, revised and corrected. To which are now added, two lectures on the History of Biblical Intei-prttation. By Herbert Marsh, D.D. F.R.S. a general corruption of the Greek manuscripts. Additional obstacles opposed by the ancient versions, and the writings of the Greek Fathers. LECTURES, PART VI. (1822). 795 The general check, which was afforded by the joint opposition of manuscripts, fathers, and versions, must have preserved to us the New Testament in the same state upon the whole, which was given to it by tie writers themselves. The conduct of the Greek Church, from which 5 we have received our Greek manuscripts, an additional reason for believing that they have not been wilfully corrupted. The arguments for the Integrity of the Greek manuscripts would be entirely destroyed, if it were true that l John v. 7 existed originally in the Greek manu- scripts, and was afterwards expunged. Necessary connexion therefore IO between the general Integrity of the New Testament, and the evidence relating to that passage. Summary statement of the evidence. History of the passage, from its origin in the Latin version to its introduction in a modern Greek manuscript, and thence to a printed edition. Re- sult of this inquiry is, that the general principle by which we maintain I 5 the Integrity of the New Testament, is not affected. Application of this principle to the period, in which all other arguments would fail : and the inference thence deduced, that the Greek manuscripts, which have descended to the present age, are free from the corruptions, which have been ascribed to them. xxviii. The Integrity of the New 20 Testament having been proved, we may argue from the character of the writers to the Credibility of their writings. Mode of conducting that .argument. Application of it to the Apostolic Historians, St. Matthew and St. John. They had no motive to deceive others, and could not be deceived themselves. St. Matthew wrote his Gospel 25 under circumstances, which leave no other alternative, than either that the history is true, or that a fraud was committed which was morally impossible. Similar argument applicable to the Gospel of St. John. Credibility of the Gospels of St. Mark and St. Luke. Though not eye- witnesses to the facts recorded in their Gospels, like St. Matthew and 30 St. John, they derived their information from those who were eye- witnesses. Whether the information was communicated to them, in writing, or only in verbal conversation. The former has been already shewn to be more probable : and, being more secure, than a communi cation by words, is more favourable to the Credibility of their Gospels. 3 c Their dependence on the Apostles for their information was equal in either case: and their independence, with respect to each other, is no more affected by the supposition of a written, than by the supposition of a verbal communication. The author's mode of explaining the verbal harmony of the three first Gospels does not impair, but secure 40 the independence of St. Mark and St. Luke as historians, with reference to each other. Strange mistake, which has been generally made on this subject. The " Veracity of the Evangelists" does not depend on the mode in which they obtained their materials, but on the mode, in which they employed their materials. St. Mark and St. Luke em- 4S ployed their materials as faithfully, as they obtained their materials securely. Proof of this assertion. St. Mark and St. Luke encountered the same dangers with the Apostles, and therefore gave similar proofs of their sincerity. General inference to the Credibility of the four Gospels, as drawn from the arguments employed in this Section. 50 xxix. The Credibility of the facts recorded in the New Testament 52 796 HERBERT MARSH. LECTURES, PART VI. (1822). estimated from a consideration of the facts themselves. Three different ways, in which those facts may be considered. We may compare the several parts of each single book : or we may compare one book with another : or we may compare the whole with other works of acknow- ledged credit. The Gospels, when examined singly, are found to be 5 consistent in their several parts, and have so far the internal marks of truth. When the Gospels of St. Mark and St. Luke are compared with the Gospel of St. Matthew, they are found to corroborate each other. The matter which is common to the three first Gospels, forms of itself a Narrative of our Saviour's ministry, from His baptism to His IO death and resurrection. Hence arose the supposition, that such a Narrative once existed in a separate form. The supposition of such a Narrative accounts not for any verbal harmony : it accounts only for the harmony in the matter of the three first Gospels. The harmony iu the arrangement of the common matter by St. Mark and St. Luke, 1 5 inexplicable on any other supposition, unless we abandon the notion, that St. Mark and St. Luke wrote independently of each other. A faithful adherence, on the part of St. Mark and St. Luke, to a written communication from the Apostles, an argument for the Credibility of their Gospels. Credibility of the facts which each of the three first 20 Gospels has peculiar to itself. Character of St. John's Gospel different from that of the other three : but his Gospel equally credible. The apparent contradictions in our four Gospels do not impair the veracity of the writers, or the credibility of their writings. Comparison of the Acts of the Apostles with the Epistles of St. Paul, and the inference 25 thence deduced that the history is true. Confirmation of the facts recorded in the New Testament, by a comparison with Josephus and Tacitus. The actions ascribed to our Saviour, shewn to be of that description, that the Apostles and Evangelists not only would not have recorded them, but could not have recorded them, if they had not been 3 true. xxx. Special inquiry into the Credibility of the Miracles re- corded in the New Testament. Importance of this inquiry to the truth of Christianity. Definition of a miracle, as the term is used by Christ and His Apostles. Attempts of the Jews in the time of our Saviour to evade the inference from miracles by ascribing them to the 35 agency of evil spirits. Absurdity of such attempts, and insufficiency of the answers, which have been sometimes given. A real miracle can be per- formed only by the special interference of God Himself. The attempts of the Jews to account for the miracles of our Saviour, however absurd those attempts might be, establish the exis'ence of the miracles. Ob- 4 jections of modern philosophers to the existence of miracles, on the ground that they are incapable of proof. Answer to the objection, that the notion of a miracle destroys itself. Answer to the argument from experience as explained by Mr. Hume. Proof that miracles may be established by human testimony. Illustration of the argument by 45 an examination of the miracle performed in the restoration of Lazarus. Tli<> .Miracles ascribed to the Apostles equally credible. Additional argument for the Credibility of the Miracles performed by St. Paul. Inference from the Credibility of facts to the Credibility of doctrines ; whence it appears, that the doctrines recorded in the New Testament, 5 are doctrines, which came from God.' LECTURES, PARTS VI. VII. (1822-23). 797 P. 4 : ' We might begin with the proposition, that the New Testa- ment was divinely inspired : and then we should come at once to the conclusion of its credibility, without even moving the question, by whom the several books of it were written. But this mode of reason- 5 ing, though it recommends itself by its great convenience, and has therefore not unfrequently been adopted, is attended with the same defect, as an attempt to prove a proposition in geometry by means of another proposition, which is itself dependent on the proposition to which we apply it.'

Statement of the reasons, why the Authenticity and Credibility of the New Testament were considered, before similar inquiries had been instituted in regard to the Old Testament. The records which contain the Mosaic and Christian religions, must not be confounded with the religions themselves. The authority of the later 30 record having been established independently of the former record, we may argue from the authority of the New Testament to that of the Old Testament without arguing in a circle. Difference between the Old and New Testaments, with respect to the applicability of the terms "authentic" and "credible." These terms though applicable to 3 c every book of the New Testament, are not equally applicable to every book of the Old Testament. They are applicable to the five books of Moses. Proof of their Authenticity has been already given. The term is not applicable to those historic books, of which the authors are unknown. But the term "credibility" is applicable to all of them. 40 Reasons for the credibility of the Pentateuch. Reasons for the credi- bility of the other historic books of the Old Testament. The pro- phetical writings considered, with reference to their authenticity and credibility. Both terms are applicable to all the prophetical books. Illustration of the term "credibility," as applied to prophecy.

The books of the Old Testament considered, not individually, but collect- ively. Explanation of the term "authority," as used in this and the 522 798 HERBERT MARSH. LECTURES, PART VII. (1823). following Lecture. Examination of the question, whether the autho- rity of the Old Testament may not he established generally. Explana- tion of the mode of arguing from the authority of the New Testament to that of the Old Testament. The testimony of our Saviour to the books of the Old Testament sufficient proof of their authority. Dif- c ferent ways in which He has borne such testimony. All the Hebrew Scriptures, as they existed in the time of our Saviour, received His sanction. If therefore they contained the same books, which are now contained in our Hebrew Bibles, we have the sanction of our Saviour for every book of the Old Testament, that is, every canonical book of IO the Old Testament. Consequent necessity of our inquiring into the Hebrew Canon, or the Canon of the Old Testament, as it existed at Jerusalem in the time of our Saviour. The Hebrew Scriptures divided into three classes. Antiquity of this division. The first class always termed the Law; and the second class the Prophets. The books of 15 the third class, which at first had no distinguishing title, were after- wards called in Hebrew Chetubim, in Greek Hagiographa. Our Saviour in appealing to the Hebrew Scriptures observed the threefold division of them. Comparison of His appeal with those of Philo and Josephus. According to the Jewish reckoning, the three classes con- 20 tained twenty-two books ; whereas the canonical books of the Old Testa- ment, as arranged in our Bibles, amount to thirty-nine. Explanation of the manner, in which the Jews made the books of the Old Testa- ment amount to twenty-two : whence it follows, that the books, which constituted the Hebrew Bible in the time of our Saviour, agreed, as to 25 their real number, with the books which now constitute our Hebrew Bibles. xxxin. Object of this Lecture to prove that the Hebrew Scriptures, which received the sanction of our Saviour, contained the same books, which are now contained in our Hebrew Bibles. That the Hebrew Scriptures at a certain period contained certain books, is a -?o historical fact, for which in the first instance we may inquire after historical evidence. But direct historical evidence to the books which composed the Hebrew Scriptures in the first century cannot now be obtained. The fact still capable of proof from induction. Mode of conducting that proof. The chief object is to connect the catalogue of 35 the Hebrew Scriptures, which Jerom has given in his Prologus galeatus, with the account which Josephus has given of the Hebrew Scriptures, in his treatise against Apion. When we have connected Jerom's catalogue with the account of Josephus, we may connect the Hebrew Scriptures as they existed in the time of our Saviour, with the Hebrew aq Scriptures as they exist at present. In other words it will follow, that the Canon of the Old Testament, as it existed at Jerusalem in the time of our Saviour, was the tame Canon, as that which is now repre- sented by our Hebrew Bibles. Mode of connecting the catalogue of Jirom with the account of Josephus ; whence it appears, that the 45 Hebrew Scriptures in the time of Josephus, contained the same books, which they contained in the time of Jerom. This inference is con- finned by additional evidence drawn from Josephus himself. The Hebrew Scriptures to which our Saviour appealed, were the same Hebrew Scriptures, to which Josephus appealed. The Hebrew Scrip- 5 LECTURES, PART VII. (1823). 799 tures enumerated by Jerom in his Prologus galeatus, contained the same books, which are now contained in our Hebrew Bibles. The final conclusion therefore is, that the Hebrew Canon in the time of our Saviour was the same Hebrew Canon which is now represented by 5 our Hebrew Bibles ; and that we have His sanction for every canonical book of the Old Testament. XXXIV. Our inquiries into the Integrity of the Hebrew Scriptures may be divided into two periods, the one extending from the time of Moses to that of our Saviour, the other from the time of our Saviour to the present age. In the former period I O we may collect historical notices, concerning the care which was taken by the Jews for the preservation of the Hebrew Scriptures. In the latter period we must endeavour to repel the charge, which has been laid to the Jews, of having wilfully corrupted the Hebrew Scriptures ; and further to shew that the utmost caution has been used to prevent 1 5 accidental mistakes. The preservation of the Pentateuch or the Book of the Law, a matter of special importance to the Jews. Care taken in this respect by Moses himself. Remarks on the Temple-copy of the Law. Whether this copy was preserved, when the Temple was de- stroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. Preservation of the law (whether the 2 Temple-copy or not) during the Babylonish captivity, and production of it by Ezra, when the Temple was rebuilt. On the preservation of the other books, which were written before the Babylonish captivity. Collection made by Ezra and Nehemiah, of the books which were written before, during, and after the Babylonish captivity. The 25 books so collected formed the Canon of the Hebrew Scriptures, and were preserved in the Temple till the destruction of it by Titus. The Hebrew Scriptures, which received the sanction of our Saviour, received His sanction, as they then existed. No charge of previous corruption alleged against the Scribes and Pharisees. The question 30 examined whether the Jews have subsequently corrupted the Hebrew Scriptures. Obstacles to the execution of such an attempt, even if the Jews had been inclined to make it. On the extreme caution, which has been employed by the Jews, to prevent even accidental mistakes. Remarks on certain alterations and additions, which are 3 5 neither wilful corruptions, nor accidental mistakes. Recapitulation and conclusion.' It is plain from this summary, that Marsh's method here is less severe than in his argument respecting the N. T. Thus he says (p. 9), ' Now the historic books of the Old Testament have been received as 40 true by the Jews of every age : consequently by the Jews, who lived at the same time with the authors of those histories.' Here assuredly more is alfinned than the very imperfect materials for a literary history of the O. T. will warrant : nothing less than a catena of authorities of successive ages could justify so positive a statement. Our Saviour's ratification of the 0. T. seems also to be misunderstood, as Tholuck and other critics of no negative school maintain, when it is regarded as a critical judgement upon the entire canon and text of the Hebrew Bible.

P. 64: 'If I had been convinced that the quotations which Justin has given 25 from the work which he calls dwoftvr]fioveviJ.aTa tuv atroaroKuv, had been copied from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, I should not have abstained from appealing to them : for in that case I should have obtained an additional argument in my own favour. I should have obtained another evidence in favour of that very 3 authenticity which it is the object of this lecture to establish. But whatever benefit I might derive from those quotations, I have ab- stained from appealing to them, because I still doubt whether I could fairly do so. They who believe that these doubts are unfounded, may make what use they can of Justin's quotations: and I readily leave the 35 question in the hands of those whose critical acumen is entitled to more deference than any which I can claim for myself.'

I have already observed how incompatible it i3 1 5 with my infirmities to be present in public assemblies, and confined to the same situation, especially when the air is cool and damp All the objections I have stated... were instantly outweighed, in my mind, by the strong opinion which I perceived Dr. Marsh to have formed, that the Vice-Chancellor's presence in his proper place would add 20 respectability both to the Professor of Divinity and to his public lecture.'

Now, Lloyd, late Professor of Hebrew in Cambridge [Henry Lloyd ; see Class. Journ. III. 243], circulated proposals for translating the 30 boldest of Eichhorn's Introductions, that to the Old Testament; and Bishop Marsh, in his Lectures on Divinity, addressed to the rising clergy of the University, once and again recommends, in the strongest terms, the same work to their study ; nor, throughout his whole course, does he think it necessary to utter a single word of warning against 35 the irreligious tendency of this, or, so far as we remember, of any other production of the German divines. And, be it considered, that, whilst he peculiarly affects an ultra Anglican orthodoxy, the Bishop's know- ledge of German theology is of a very different character from that of those who have been recently so busy in giving us the measure of their 40 modicum of knowledge and understanding on this important and diffi- cult subject. ...If men in the situation, and with the authority of Lloyd and Marsh, endeavoured thus to promote the study of Eichhorn and his school among the academic youth; either the opinions of the German Divines are not such as the Advocate and others have found it 45 convenient to represent them; or (crly my own.'

Norris to Davis : 'You concur in opinion with my- self and several others, whose opinions are of much more value than mine, that we cannot do better than commit ourselves to the guidance IO of Dr. Marsh, in the momentous design we are projecting; and I have much pleasure in assuring you, that he enters with all the zeal of the most fervent among us into our design, and at the same time displays every talent requisite for building it upon a substantial basis, and for carrying it on to perfection. He has bestowed uncommon pains upon 1 c the circular we are preparing, having first, as I told you, sent up a rough dratt entirely of his own, and having patiently considered and reconsidered alterations and improvements which have been submitted to him, and having set himself doggedly to work upon every hint that has been suggested.' P. 345. Dr. Marsh communicated with the 2 bishops, and received promises of support from many. Cf. 347. P. 357. On 16 Oct. 1811 the abp. of Canterbury, bp. of London, etc., met, and 'Dr. Marsh having come with a string of resolutions ready, and urging the greater difficulty of preparing them at a larger meeting, where dissentient and even hostile persons might attend, it was deter- 2 C mined that a committee should be appointed for the purpose of framing resolutions to be proposed to the next meeting.' This was the origin of the National Society. On 4 Nov. 181 1 Marsh writes respecting the constitution of the committee; power should be given to the bishops as a security in point of religion, and 'a due proportion of 30 intelligence with respect to the mechanism of Dr. Bell's system' should be added (pp. 361, 362). Dr. Bell to Rob. Snuthey 26 Dec. 181 1. (pp. 648 650) : ' The battle which Dr. Marsh began, and you ended, (for so all think), has been so completely successful, that every one thinks the thing so completely done, that nothing remains to be done, ?r except only myself We feel we have lost something by Dr. H. Marsh's impolitic attack on the Bible Society, in a letter to the senate of Cambridge. The substance of this letter had been written in his sermon, but having luckily mentioned the fact tc G. W. Marriot, he was able, though he had never seen him before, to influence him to 40 expunge it ; but the doctor, delighting in controversy, must have it out. The letter was immediately answered by Mr. Vansittart, though no one has been hardy enough to bring his name in competition with the hardy doctor on the other ground [Bell versus Lancaster]: yet if ever our Edinburgh friends do so, they will begin with the British Bible, 45 and fairly, as usual, argue and infer to the Dragon [Lancaster] There all you may leave out in your present work will come in with advantage, and will not, like Dr. Marsh's addres3 to the senate, hurt your former essay.'

'I stood up as resolutely as Herbert Marsh himself could do, for the rights and duties of the Church.' In Oct. 5 18 14 (ibid. 507) Dr. Bell received from Marsh valuable information respecting an early edition of Lily's grammar. Edw. Churton, Memoir of Joshua Watson, Oxf. and Lond. 1861, 1. 104 106: 'Among the most zealous labourers for the cause was Dr. Herbert Marsh, . . . who was in almost daily correspondence with I O Mr. Norris, and most effectually recommended the design to the bishops and leading divines of his own University by letters and per- sonal applications. And it is very pleasing 1 to find that in these labours he did not hesitate to seek, and was not disappointed in expect- ing, the willing aid of his well-known literary antagonist, Isaac Milner, 1 c . . . whom he generously vindicates . . from an objection made against the smallness of his contribution. " What right have you or I to remonstrate in respect to voluntary contributions ? I really think that fifteen guineas from Dr. Milner is as much as 100 from a man of larger fortune. His mastership is very small; he has no living; his 2 deanery not above a third of either Canterbury or Lincoln : he has no private fortune whatever, and has nephews who are wholly dependent on him. I cannot, therefore, urge him to subscribe more ; and I only hope that this letter will arrive in time to prevent the omission of his name from the first list."

He seized for this purpose on a clause in Bell's third edition, 1807, P- 9 : 'It is not proposed that the children of the poor be educated in an 5 expensive manner, or even taught to write and to cypher.' Marsh shews that this limitation was introduced to conciliate statesmen who thought that the poor should be taught to read only ; that Bell's own practice and the elementary books published by him presupposed writing and arithmetic as necessary to be taught in every school ; and IO lastly that the clause on which Lancaster founded his charge had been corrected by the author three years before. ' The third edition, to which Mr. Lancaster appeals, is become a superseded and second-hand pamphlet.' The Edinb. Rev. (181 1) xix. 25 39 rails at Marsh's sermon with I 5 the coarsest abuse.

The gist of the argument is that of two bible societies in existence, the one dated from 1 699, the other from 1 804 ; the one was wholly a 20 church, the other a mixed society; the funds of the one were employed in supplying prayerbooks and tracts in unison with the doctrine of the church as well as bibles, those of the other in supplying bibles only. 'As the members of the Society [the S.P.C.K.] believe (though with- out reproach to those whose belief is different) that the doctrines of the 2C Liturgy are correctly derived from the Bible, they consider it as their indispensable duty, to unite the one with the other. Indeed uniformity of doctrine can never be produced without adherence to this rule : for every Christian party either finds, or supposes that it finds, its peculiar doctrines in the Bible.' 40 ' Though sincerely attached to the Established Church, and desirous of promoting its welfare by all fair and honourable means, I fully recognize the natural, and in this country, legal ri 3 'ht of private judge- ment in matters of religion ; and I should be ever ready both to deplore and to oppose every effort to abridge the freedom of religious opinion, 45 or religious worship, which is exercised in this country by Dissenters of every description. . . . But it is certainly a question for considera- tion among Churchmen, whether it is prudent to augment the power of such a Society [as the Bible Society] by throwing into its scale the 810 HERBERT MARSH. BIBLE SOCIETY (1811). weight of the Establishment. . . . That Churchmen, by their associa- tion with Dissenters in this modern Bible Society, increase both the political and religious importance of the latter, is too obvious to require illustration. . . But by increasing the influence of the ancient Bible Society, we necessarily increase the influence of the Established Church : ij for the ancient Bible Society is one of its firmest bulwarks.' At the end of the letter Marsh refers to a grace, 16 Nov. 18 11, for contributing 500 to the National Society (Cambr. Chron. 22 Nov.): 'I respectfully submit the question to the consideration of this Univer- sity, which of the two Bible Societies is most entitled to encourage- IO ment on the part of a Body, whose peculiar duty (a duty so nobly displayed on a late occasion) is the support of the Established Church.' Cf. Simeon (Life, c. 12, p. 313) 13 Dec. i8ir: 'The enemies look very small on the occasion. Dr. Marsh and Mr. B., for the purpose of defeating the object of the Meeting, brought in a Grace the very day 1 5 before, to give 100 to the Bartlett's Buildings Society: and all of us went and voted for it, to their utter surprise.' ' Christ's Lodge, Dec. 10, 181 r.

Moreover, that it was in the press, and that it would contain my Address, had been previously advertised. What necessity then could there be for the re-printing of it in the Inquiry? Besides, it was already in the hands of every one in Cambridge : for hundreds 40 of copies had been distributed. Surely Dr. Milner must be sadly at a loss for real causes of complaint, when he can stoop to such trifles as these. But he has not yet done with the Address. There was an error of 7000 for 5000 in the number of the members at that time belonging to the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, for the 45 disc, very of which error he is indebted to the sagacity of another opponent. Now, that it is an error, I know: but it is an error which I myself delected and corrected. If Dr. Milner inquires of the Uni- CAMBRIDGE MEETING (12 DEC. 1811). 811 versity Printer, he will tell Dr. Milner, that in three days after the Address was printed, I informed him of the error ; that the remaining copies were destroyed, and that a new impression was taken off with the number 7000 corrected to 5000 : and the corrected copies, which I 5 distributed, were ten times as numerous as the former ones. On any other occasion I should have thought it unnecessary to make a new edition for so trifling a mistake. But 1 knew what a set of adversaries I should have to deal with : and therefore endeavoured to obviate objections.

Thanks to Marsh for his address, sent to IO Vansittart though not a member of Cambridge university. The S. P.

The president, and all the vice-presidents, of the 15 Bible society are churchmen, as are half the committee; 4 Irish arch- bishops, 8 English and 8 Irish bishops, are among its patrons. No sectarian divisions exist in it. In 7 years it has been the means of preaching the Gospel in 54 languages. I am an old member of the S. P. C.K.

I will 1 5 answer therefore by saying, None whatever. On the contrary, the more widely the Scriptures are disseminated, the greater in all respects must be the good produce!. Having answered this question, and, as I hope, to the satisfaction of every member in the Society, I beg leave to ask in my turn ; Where is the harm of giving away a Prayer Book ? 20 Of course I propose this question only to those members of the Society, who are also members of the Church. For I have explicitly declared, both in the Sermon at St. Paul's, and in the Address to the Senate, that I have no desire to interfere, either with the religious opinions, or the religious conduct of the Dissenters. An attempt to impose the 2 5 Liturgy on men, who from principle reject it, would be a violation of that religious liberty, which I sincerely hope will ever be maintained in this country.' Pp. 4, 5. The prayer-book a useful and necessary companion to the Bible for the churchman, who is required to learn the Church 30 Catechism. 'When we further consider, that there is at present hardly a town, or even a village, which is not visited by illiterate teachers, who expound the Bible with more confidence than the most profound theologian, it becomes doubly necessary, if we would preserve the poor of the establishment in the religion of their fathers, to provide ?c them with a safeguard against the delusions of false interpretation.' Speeches of Dr. Milner and Dr. Clarke at the meeting in the Town Hall of Cambridge 12 Dec. 181 1, printed in the Cambr.

And I chal- lenge my opponents to declare, whether they have laboured harder, than I have done, to promote the study of it ... A Letter, which first appear- ed in the Suffolk papers, was reprinted in Cambridge with a super- scription alluding to my Address to the senate, and was very generally 5 distributed in Cambridge within a few days after that Address. The author of this Letter speaking of the auxiliary Societies now forming in different parts of the kingdom says, "And yet to these Societies there are they, who dare to object. I say dare, because, circulated as the New Testament has been described to be, without tract or comment, IO they who oppose them, oppose the circulation of the word of God, as originally delivered forth, and would probably have opposed our Saviour Himself, had they lived in His time." ' Pp. 9, io : ' Here let me ask, whether the Bible itself is not capable of perversion, whether the best of Boohs may not be applied to the worst 1 5 of purposes.' P. 1 1 : 'If we neglect to provide the poor of the establishment with the Book of Common Prayer, ...we certainly neglect the means of pre- venting their seduction from the Established Church. The Dissenters remain Dissenters, because they use not the Liturgy; and Churchmen 20 will become Dissenters, if they likewise neglect to use it with the Bible. Have the persons to whom Bibles are gratuitously distributed, either the leisure, or the inclination, or the ability, to weigh the arguments for religious opinions? . . . But the Bible alone contains all things, which are necessary for Salvation: and to assert the contrary is t argue 25 in the spirit, not of a Protestant, but of a Papist! This position is indisputably true ; it is the very basis of Protestantism ; and no Protes- tant, as far as I know, has ever contended, that any doctrine should be received as an Article of Faith, which is not contained in the Bible. But have not Christians of every age and nation been at variance on 30 the question, what doctrines are contained in the Bible?' Pp. 12, 13 : ' If a Churchman withholds the Liturgy, when he gives a Bible to the poor, because the Bible alone contains all things which are necessary for salvation, he cannot consistently interfere with his own instruction : for if the Liturgy is not wanted to explain the Bible, 35 it would be the height of presumption for a Churchman to suppose, that the instruction of an individual could be wanted. Nor would men in this case give the Bible alone: they would accompany it at least with a verbal explanation. And can any sober-minded Churchman really believe, that by putting the Bible, uuder the circumstances above 40 described, into the hands of the illiterate, they will secure them from the seductions of false interpretation, and the consequent defection from the established church? . . . [After a quotation from Vansittart's first letter]. Thin is part of a Letter, which was originally a private communication to me from the Right Hon. N. Vansittart, containing 45 remarks on my Address to the Senate, but was published by the Author, at the desire of our Chancellor, who is Patron of the Auxi- liary Society in Cambridge. This Letter derives additional importance from the author's being a Vice-President of the Society, and from the INQUIRY (1812). 815 general circulation which the friends of the Society gave to it in Cam- bridge. Though I have the misfortune to view the British and Foreign Bible Society in a different light from Mr. Vansittart, I must express my acknowledgements for the candour and liberality, which pervades 5 the whole Letter. It is written in all the amiable spirit of a sincere and benevolent Christian. Let other advocates of this Society take a lesson from Mr. Vansittart.' Pp. 13 15 : 'Undoubtedly the Bible is the sole basis of the Church of England ; and this respectable writer does me justice in believing, I O that it is the sole basis for which I contend, notwithstanding some late insinuations to the contrary. Equally true is the general proposition, that the Bible only is the religion of the Protestant. But are all Pro- testants alike in their religion? ... A Protestant of the Church of England, is a person whose religion is the Bible only, but the Bible as 15 expounded in the Liturgy and Articles. Hence it is that by the laws of this country a Churchman never qualifies, by declaring his assent only to the Bible ... By the laws of this country the Liturgy is the great criterion of the Churchman . . . And even they, who qualify for civil offices, are required, under a similar penalty [voidance of their 20 election], not only to attend the public service of the Church, within three months after their appointment, but to join in the most solemn of its rites, the celebration of the Lord's supper.' Pp. 15, 16: 'I should be as sorry, as Mr. Vansittart, to think, that the study of the Scriptures should lead to a disregard of our Liturgy. 2 5 And I should equally rejoice, if that study led all men to the same con- clusions, as it led our English Eeformers. But where is the use of rejoicing at an expectation, which we know can never be realised? If the devout study of the Bible necessarily led to an approbation of the Liturgy, why is it still rejected by the Dissenters? And how are men 30 to know, what the excellencies of the Liturgy are, if the Bible only is put into their hands ? ' Pp. 17, 18: 'But, says Dr. Clarke in language, applauded by the assembly, and repeated with approbation by the distinguished advocate of this Society, " Have we forgot that we are Protestants? What would 35 Latimer, and Ridley, and Chillingworth have thought or said, had they lived unto this day to bear testimony to such a declaration?"... It requires no examination to discover, what Lati.ner and Ridley, what Cranmer and Hooper, what our great REFORMERS would have said, could they have foreseen, that a Professor of Divinity in an English Uni- 40 versity would be publicly censured by Churchmen and Clergymen, within the precincts of that University, for urging the distribution of a Book, which they composed, and which contains the doctrines for which they died. It is not the distribution of the Bible to the poor and illiterate, (the only objects of gratuitous distribution) which exposes men to the 45 danger of being seduced from the established faith . . . The danger arises from the neglect to give them also the Liturgy. And it is a gross per- version of my meaning, to ascribe to the presence of the former, what I ascribe only to the absence of the latter. But the objection would be less popular, if they directly denied the utility of the Prayer Book. I can 816 HERBERT MARSH. INQUIRY (1812). make great allowance for the effervescence produced by an ardent desire to become a genuine Protestant. But let not men suppose, that they become better Protestants by becoming worse Churchmen.'' P. 19. The reformers drew up confessions of faith as true interpreta- tions of the Bible. 5 To Milner's remarks on the dangerous Popish tenet ' that the Holy Scriptures themselves must be tried at the bar of the traditions of fallible men,' and to his declaration, that he ' would not represent the distribution of the Bible alone, as a thing that cannot be done with safety, unless accompanied with the Coircctive of a Prayer Book,' Marsh IO replies: 'I would humbly ask him, whether we try the Scriptures by our Liturgy and Articles, or the Liturgy and Articles by the Scriptures. ... It is on this ground . . . only, that I recommend their distribution in company with the Bible, not as a "corrective''' as Dr. Milner calls it, but as a safeguard against the false interpretations, to which men are 1 5 now exposed on every side ... However desirous Dr. Milner may have been, to vindicate tbe distribution of the Bible alone by the Society, of which he is so zealous an advocate, however desirous therefore he might have been to hold out to public indignation a Professor, who contends for the distribution of the Liturgy, in company with the Bible, it was 2 surely incautious in a Dean and a Master of a College, to deliver before a numerous body of young men, of whom the greater part were designed for holy orders, such sentiments, as could not fail to diminish, in their estimation, the value of a book, to which they will shortly subscribe, and which is really the bulwark of the established church . . .When we con- 25 sider therefore that this speech has, with the approbation of the author, been printed in a public paper, and disseminated, not within its usual limits, but throughout the whole kingdom, what a notion will men form of the University of Cambridge, when they read, that the Master of a College, whose name stands deservedly so high as that of Dr. 30 Milner, not only reprimands a Professor of Divinity, as being unneces- sarily anxious for the distribution of the Liturgy, but compares that Liturgy with Popish tradition' (pp. 20 23). The Bible Society and Joseph Lancaster (p. 24) 'both agree in pro- viding a Bible; both agree in leaving that Bible unaccompanied with 35 the Liturgy.' Pp. 25, 26: 'Now the fundamental principle, which pervades the whole of that Sermon at St. Paul's, is the necessity, on the part of Churchmen, of associating the Liturgy with the Bible. ... I will tran- scribe that passage . . . , which relates to the importance of adding 40 the Liturgy. . . . "The Society therefore for promoting Christian Knowledge does not confine itself, where the Church of England is established, to the distribution of the Bible alone." [Foot-note. This is the expression, which has been so ingeniously tortured, though I have had the precaution, both here and elsewhere, to explain the meaning of 45 it, by saying that the Liturgy should be added, as being the book in which the doctrines of the Bible were correctly derived from it. If my objection, therefore, had been fairly stated at the Town Hall, it would have been simply this ; that I objected (namely on the part of INQUIRY (1812). 817 Churchmen) to the distribution of the Bible alone, or without the Liturgy. . . . But, as I was accused in my absence, and under circum- stances, which would have prevented my being heard, had I been present, the whole assembly was impressed with the notion, that the 5 Margaret Professor had so far departed from the principles of a Protestant, as to maintain that the Bible alone containeth not all things, which are necessary for salvation. It is true, that no one ventured to say so in positive terms, especially as I bad declared in that very Addre-s, which Dr. Milner then held in his hands, that the IO Bible was the "only fountain of religious truth." But men scruple not to insinuate what they dare not assert.' Pp. 27 30: 'It is worthy of remark, that though the Sermon, from which this extract was taken, passed through so many editions and was generally read, I never heard of an objection, that was made 15 to it by the friends of the establishment. The National Society was avowedly founded on the fundamental principle of that Sermon ; and in the Address to the public, which was printed at the head of the llesolutions, for the regulation of that Society, the Liturgy was men- tioned by name, as essential in religious instruction. The principle, 20 which, when applied to the instruction of children, had been illustrated in my Sermon by the system of Dr. Bell, was illustrated in the same Sermon, when applied to adults, by the practice of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge. Between the system of Dr. Bell, and the practice of this Society, whicli is a Society for Bibles and 2 5 Prayer Books, there is the same analogy, as between the system of Mr. Lancaster and the other Society, which is a Society for Bibles alone. The application of the principle to this other Society was implied however in the Sermon, and not formally expressed. But when the Address to the Senate, which contains precisely the same sentiments T.0 as the sixth section of the Sermon, and several sentences even in the same words, exhibited an application of the principle to this Society by name, it was then discovered, that the general principle, for which I had contended, was equally directed to the Lancasterian System and the Bible Society. It was then discovered, that sentiments which 35 were a/iprovcd when supposed only applicable to the former, were matter for reproach, when it was found that they applied to the latter. And the fundamental principle of the whole Sermon appeared in a new light, as soon as the extent of it wa3 distinctly perceived. The very men therefore, who had supported me in its application to the religious 40 instruction of Mr. Lancaster, (among whom I may reckon Dr. Milner himself*) were suddenly converted into zealous opponents. Even friendship was sacrificed, and it was determined, that the Author of the Address should be crushed. The result is known ; the Speeches made on the occasion are before the public ; and I have now presented AX my defence. ' But the analogy of this Society to the Lancasterian System, extends only to its operations at home, or where the Church of England is esta- * 'I draw this inference from Dr. Milner's readiness, when I waited on him, to subscribe to the National Society.' 818 HERBERT MARSH. INQUIRY (1812). Wished. Its operations abroad are not only unobjectionable, but highly laudable : and, though I think they have been greatly exagger- ated, though I think they have been described in terms, which violate both truth and candour, they are certainly productive of great and unmixed good. The Liturgy of our Church has no concern with the 5 distribution of Bibles, where Christianity is professed under a different form. Neither duty nor interest require us, in this case to do more than distribute the Bible. For this purpose I would gladly offer the right hand of fellowship, not only to Protestants of every description, but to the members of all other churches, dispersed throughout the IO world. For this purpose, we should all, as Christians, engage on equal terms. . . . The welfare of the universal Church would be promoted, and the welfare of the Church of England would be unimpaired. But, when Protestant Churchmen and Protestant Dissenters combine for the distribution of Bibles at home, and a Society thus composed omits k the Liturgy, because the Dissenters could not otherwise partake of it, such a Society is formed on terms of inequality, and the sacrifice is made on the part of the church? Pp. 30 41. The generalised Protestantism of Chillingworth pre- pared the way for the abolition of the Liturgy in 1645. In answer to 20 Milner's prediction, that if 'Christians of every denomination' 'did but read and study their Bibles more constantly,' they ' would actually coincide, or nearly so, in most essentials,' Marsh rejoins (p. 42) : ' Surely, Dr. Milner, with his knowledge of ecclesiastical history, a knowledge, which he himself proclaimed in his own speech, could not 25 be ignorant, that even in the essentials of Christianity, very different conclusions have been drawn from the Bible, and by men, of whom it would be very unjust to say, that they had not studied it devoutly. There is, however, one method of producing uniformity of sentiment among those, to whom Bibles are distributed, even if they receive not 3 the Prayer Book, and that is, by the addition of Tracts. If for instance, they who withhold the Liturgy, accompany the Bible with Calvinistic Tracts, the Bible in such company, will be uniform in the production of Calvinism.' Pp. 42 45 : 'Among all the writers, who have engaged in the 35 controversy about the modern Bible Society, I do not perceive that any one, except myself, has pointed out the danger arising to the established church, from the practice of neglecting to give the Prayer Book with the Bible. I have read again what was written by the two principal combatants, Dr. Wordsworth and Mr. Dealtry, and 1 do not 4 find any allusion to this danger, though the more I consider it, the more I am convinced of its magnitude. It is true, that the question was agitated whether religious tracts should accompany the Bible. But tliis is a question of very inferior moment to the question, whether the Liturgy shall accompany the Bible. The Liturgy is the Criterion of 45 the Churchman .... Tracts against Enthusiasm are particularly useful in the present age. ' Pp. 46 49. Parallel between the generalised Protestantism of the Assembly of Divines and that of the Bible Society. 'The Assembly of INQUIRY (1812). 819 Divines, when they had formed the resolution of abolishing the Liturgy, presented a petition to Parliament, to abolish ' ' the body and practice of Popery." At present also a Professor of Divinity is accused of Popery, because he pleads for the Liturgy ... It [the Assembly] con- 5 sisted chiefly of Calvinists : and the Calvinistic Clergy of the Church of England are generally members of the modern Society. Now a man, who adopts the doctrines of Calvin, cannot be zealously attached to our English Liturgy. A Calvinist may in many respects have a great regard for it : but he cannot have much pain in parting with it, as it IO abounds with passages so decisive of conditional salvation, that no in- genuity can 7 torture them into the language of absolute decrees . . . Lastly, let us remember, that the language holden by the Calvinists in the reign of Charles the First exactly corresponds with the language now holden by many of the advocates of the modern Society. For a 1 5 more intolerant and more persecuting spirit was never witnessed, than is frequently displayed in their writings and speeches.' P. 51 : 'That there are Churchmen and Statesmen, who are not only desirous, that the Test Act should be repealed, but consider the present progress of the British and Foreign Bible Society, as the most 20 effectual means of obtaining that repeal, can hardly admit a doubt. The speech of Mr. Whitbread, at the late meeting at Bedford for the formation of an Auxiliary Society [printed Cambr. Chron. 27 Dec. 181 1], is so decisive on this subject, that further evidence is superfluous.' P. 53 : 'I sincerely lament, that I have the misfortune to differ 25 upon this subject with men of such distinguished abilities, and such acknowledged integrity, that this difference alone is sufficient to excite a distrust of my own opinion. But I have considered the subject in all its bearings, and perhaps with more attention, than can possibly be bestowed on it by men in high situations. It is of all subjects, on 30 which I ever undertook to write, the most intricate and perplexed. And, though at various times I have instituted inquiries, which de- manded close reasoning and profound thought, I never entered on a subject, which required so much penetration, as the present. It is a subject of so extraordinary a nature, that, while orators, whose wisdom 35 never goes beyond the surface, feel competent to decide, there are points in it, which may elude the discernment of the most sagacious and profound. Nor is it difficult to assign the reason. There is nothing, which so prevents men from seeing the danger of an object, as, when in the pursuit of that object, they are animated by religious 40 zeal. With the prospect of extending the universal church, men find it difficult to contract their views within the limits of a single church.' Mr. Vansittart's suggestion, that all bishops should join the society, in order to obtain a preponderance over the dissenting influence, only aggravates the evil (pp. 55, 56). Pp. 5659: 'If it be said, that 45 Churchmen, who become members of this Society, are not restricted in their individual capacity to the distribution of the Bible alone, I answer, that the very circumstance of their joining this Society, though it does not actually prevent their procuring Prayer Books elsewhere, has a natural and necessary tendency, to diminish in the opinion of Churchmen them- 820 HERBERT MARSH. INQUIRY (1812). selves, both the importance of the Liturgy, and the consequent frequency of its distribution ... I would not insist on the additional difficulty, to which men are exposed, when the Bibles and Prayer Books, which they distribute to the poor, niust be sought in tico Repositories instead of one, because this additional difficulty might be overcome by a pro- 5 portional increase of zeal for the Book of Common Prayer : But the misfortune is, that as the difficulty increases, the inclination to remove it diminishes. When men are accustomed to procure Bibles from a Society, which furnishes at the same time the Prayer Book, they acquire the habit of associating the one with the other. But a habit of a con- I O trary description is acquired by belonging to a Society, which furnishes the Bible alone. This habit occasions a foryetfulness of the Liturgy, with a consequent indifference to it . . . Men are always inclined to justify the conduct of the Society, of which they are members; for in so doing they justify themselves. Hence it is, that the fundamental law 1 5 of this Society, the distributing the Bible alone, becomes even among Churchmen, in the first place a matter of excuse, and gradually a matter of approbation, till at length the apology must be made by those, who contend for its union with the Liturgy . . . When men of different religious principles are accustomed to act in concert, and to act on the 20 principle of one party, that principle not only becomes the leading principle of the whole body, but gradually approves itself to the whole body.' P. 59: 'The tendency of their Society is now apparent ... It would be a waste of time to quote every sentence, in which my 25 objection to the distribution of the Bible alone or without the Liturgy has been publicly censured.' Pp. 62, 63: 'So long therefore as the British and Foreign Bible Society retains its present constitution, I can discover no other remedy for the evil, which has been the subject of this Inquiry, than, 30 that Churchmen should withdraw from it, and transfer their contribu- tions and their influence to that true Church of England Society, the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge .... One of the Orators at Huntingdon, whose speech is recorded in the Cambridge Chronicle of January 10, 1812, took the liberty of informing his hearers, that there 35 was an unnatural son of the Church, who did more than intimate, "that the circulation of the pure Word of God without note or comment endan- gered her, and that those Scriptures stood in nad of a CORRECTIVE."... But as the Orator has here ascribed to me a term, which I have never used, ami I have the charity to suppose that he did it by mistake, mis- 40 led perhaps by Dr. Milner's Speech, it is necessary for me to declare, not only that I never applied to the Liturgy the term Corrective, but that I have never spoken of it in such a manner, as to warrant the conclusion that I consider the Liturgy a corrective of the Bible.' I'l'- ^3, 64. Yansittart said, that, if churchmen leave the society, 45 it will cither cease to exist, or lie conducted by dissenters alone. 'In the first case you would have crushed an establishment, which has done more for the diffusion of Christianity, than has l>een effected in the same sjiace of time in any age since the Apostolic ; which has in seven INQUIRY (1812). 821 years been the means of preaching the Gospel in fifty-four Languages. This would indeed be putting out one of the eyes of Britain. ' Marsh replies: 'Now even were it true, that the exertions of this Society in foreign countries were entitled to the panegyric here given them, .... 5 I should not hesitate to declare, that if its operations ut home produce the mischief, which I have been endeavouring to shew, that mischief will not be compensated by a translation of the Bible into fifty-four, nor ten times fifty-four foreign languages. That system of universal philanthropy, whether political or religious, which carries men so far IO in their general benevolence, as to find "one of the eyes of Britain" any where but in Britain itself, must in spite of that very patriotism, which Mr. Vansittart/t/wise// possesses, lead ultimately to the destruction, both of church and of state.' Pp. 65, 66 : ' Since the various translations, which this Society is said to 1 5 have made of the Scriptures, are regarded by its advocates as a renewal of the Pentecost ... I have thought it proper to inquire into the founda- tion of these pretensions, but shall reserve that Inquiry for an Appendix, because my arguments in the present Inquiry have no dependence what- ever on the truth or falsehood of those pretensions, though I believe 20 that hundreds and thousands have subscribed to the Society in conse- quence of those pretensions. Now it will appear from that Appendix, that the editions of the Scriptures, already printed or caused to be printed by this Society, in languages, into which they had never been translated before, so far from amounting to FIFTY-FOUK, . . . amount to 2 C a very few more, than a tenth of that number.*' P. 67 : 'I am aware, that there is now in the press a Speech of the foreign Secretary which I have been desired to see, and which gives a very different account from all that had been said before. But all the other speeches at Cambridge, which now have been printed above a month -?o in the Cambridge Chronicle, and have remained uncontradicted by the authors of them, might also at this rate, be new-modelled in con- sequence of my objections to them.' P. 72 : ' If Churchmen in general resolved to act by themselves in the distribution of Bibles and Prayer- Books, and Dissenters formed another 35 society for the distribution of Bibles alone, agreeably to their respective religious opinions, the two Societies might act, without mutual bitter- ness, and without an encroachment on each other's rights.' Pp- 74) 75 : ' In a Society therefore composed of Churchmen and Dissenters, for the sole purpose of circulating the Scriptures in forciyn 10 countries, I would readily and heartily partake. I know indeed that * 'Previous to the late Meeting at Ipswich for the formation of an Auxi- liary Bible Society, Mr. Clarkson informed the public through the channel of the Suffolk papers, that the Society had "translated the Scriptures into no less than forty-three different languages or dialects." See the Ipswich Journal for November 23, 181 1. But when Mr. Clarkson's Letter was re- published in Cambridge with a superscription alluding to my Address to the Senate, . . . the learned Editor had the precaution to amend the text of his Author by inserting in a bracket [printed or] before the word " trans- lated." Now it makes a material difference whether new translations are made, or old translations reprinted.' 822 HERBERT MARSH. INQUIRY (1812). Dr. Milner, while he held in his hand my Address to the Senate, took the liberty of declaring, "The principles of the learned author, I say again, seem to me to have nothing to do with Dissenters in any concern, which is connected with religion.''' I am aware also, that he almost im- mediately added in commendation of himself, that he did not "dread the 5 Dissenters, as if they were infected with a CONTAGION." I am aware also that Mr. Dealtry has the same insinuation with Dr. Milner. 1 Pp. 76, 77: 'Here let me appeal to the public, to determine, whether the respectful manner, in which I spake of the Dissenters, as well in the Sermon at St. Paul's, as in the Address to the Senate, whether the IO sentiments of religious liberty, which I have proclaimed in both, ought not to have secured me from a term of reproach, which though appa- rently indirect in its application, could not fail to be applied to me, could not fail therefore to excite the indignation of every Dissenter who heard it, ... as if I regarded their intercourse as contagious .... 1 5 But I will declare for myself, . . . that I fear no contagion from the Dissenters. Indeed I know of none. There are many, and very many among them, for whom, as individuals, I have the highest respect. I would associate with them even for religious purposes, as far as my duty allowed me . . . And were it necessary, I could appeal to dissent- 20 ing families iu this town, who themselves would bear witness, that, so far from dreading a contagion fr.'in their intercourse, I freely com- municate the contributions which I can spare, without the smallest regard to religious distinction.'' Pp. 78 80: Dealtry had spoken of being 'publicly arraigned for the 25 distribution of the Scriptures.' 'I challenge him therefore, to produce the passage, in which I have arraigned, either him or any one for the distribution of the Scriptures If, instead of appealing to the Address, or to the Sermon at St. Paul's, from which the sentiments in the Address were borrowed, appeal is made to a printed paper, which 3 Dr. Clarke produced at the public meeting, and of which I acknowledge myself the author, . . . that printed paper again contains the same sentiments, which had been advanced in the Sermon .... The Society, in its present form, has advantages, which not every member will abandon. Though its splendour is derived from the operations abroad, 35 its influence depends on the operations at home. It there provides for temporal, as well as spiritual wants. It gives power to the dissenter, popularity to the churchman, and interest to the politician, which is useful at all times, and especially at the approach of a general election ....

By way of parody on Marsh an advertisement was circulated (p. 114): 'Speedily to be published, An Inquiry into the Conse- 25 quences of neglecting to give the Assembly's Catechism with the Bible' etc. In answer to Marsh's challenge to his opponents to declare, ' whe- ther they have laboured harder than I have done to promote the study'' of the Bible, Dealtry answers, confounding quantity of work with 30 quality (p. 117): 'the three Secretaries of the Bible Society, and many other members of that institution, have done infinitely more to promote the circulation and general knowledge of the Bible, than all the dissertations of the learned Professor.' P. 122 : 'Does he not affirm, in that hand-bill, of which he now 2^c [Inquiry, p. 79] claims the honour, but which, by some manoeuvre, was very suddenly withdrawn from circulation, that though his objec- tion is not to the distribution of the Bible, yet it is to the distribution of the Bible alone ? ' P. 126: 'The Auxiliary Society established at Cambridge was AO eminently indebted to his seasonable interference. His Address to the Senate gained us some converts, even in the University, and by directing the public attention towards the meeting at the Town-Hall, rendered essential service to the cause.'

Abundantly better acquainted with the concerns of the Bible Society than any one else, perhaps, that can be mentioned ; and with an established reputa- tion for learning and talents that is exceeded by few ; this excellent scholar and able disputant has fully satisfied those who have taste 5 and leisure for entering into the detail of this controversy.' Lord John Townshend to Sam. Parr, 27 Febr. 181 2 (Parr's Works, VII. 166) : 'I. wanted particularly to ask your sentiments about the Auxiliary Bible Society, on which subject I find I am compelled to differ with my two friends Dr. Barnes and Dr. Marsh ; but the latter IO seems, I confess, to have conceived an unwarrantable prejudice on this subject; and Mr. Vansittart's reply to him appears to me perfectly satisfactory. The good to be done by the most extensive circulation of the Scripture is undeniable. The evil to be apprehended by a mis- application of the means, seems to me very problematical.' 1 5 [N. Vansittart. See above, p. 812 1. 4]. Letter III. Second letter to the Rev. Dr. Marsh, occasioned by his Inquiry. Great George Street, 23 Mar. 181 2. Had delayed his reply in expectation of the publication of Marsh's Appendix. In the Address Marsh expressed his fears lest, as the 20 Society's influence increased, other designs hostile to the church might be engrafted on the main design. In the Inquiry he objects to the circulation of the Scriptures unaccompanied by the Liturgy. The church members of the Bible Society employ the Liturgy ' many of us in our own families.' Those who are also members of the S. P.C.K. 25 do not order fewer prayer-books than other members of that society. The average number of prayer-books supplied by tho S. P.C.K. to its members in the 3 years 1802 3 4 was 13,546 ; 'the average of the last three years was 19,815, being an increase of nearly one half. I am informed also that the ordinary sale of Prayer-books has greatly 3 increased in the same period.' 'The danger of the perversion of Scripture, on which you so much insist, is the very argument used by the Papists in defence of the denial of the Bible to the laity.' Dissenters by associating with churchmen learn to respect the 35 Liturgy. Churchmen by seceding from the society will leave its whole influence in the hands of Dissenters ; all the foreign societies, with the patronage of the Emperor of Russia, the kings of Sweden and Prussia, will strengthen the cause of dissent. Dissenters are no longer what they were in the time of the great 40 rebellion ; nor does the present moderate church government resemble Laud's illegal impositions. The foreign operations of the Society Marsh admits to be highly laudable ; but says that their importance has been exaggerated. The number of languages in which the Society has circulated translations 45 is 58, of which about 25, 'not, as you insinuate, five or six only, are translations into languages in which the Scriptures have not been published before.' The report states exactly in what degree the Society contributes to each publication. N. VANSITTART (1812). 829 Marsh spoke of the society's labours in Germany as superfluous. Such of his readers 'as are unacquainted with the Bible Society will be somewhat surprised to find that the fullest, if not the only, account in English of the Canstein Institution is to be found in the Second ^ Report of the Society; that the Head of that Institution was in constant correspondence with them, so long as correspondence could be maintained with the Continent, and that the Institution has been employed to a large extent by the Society.' To restrict the Society to its foreign department, would be to cut off I o its supplies, the local Auxiliaries whose first aim is to supply local wants. The Naval and Military Bible Society also gives away, or sells at reduced prices, Bibles and Testaments only, without note or com- ment. 'Yet this Society has existed from the year 1780, without exciting any of those alarms which immediately arose on the formation F 5 of the British and Foreign Bible Society.' The Bible Society is as little likely to lead to a repeal of the Test Act, as of the Habeas Corpus Act. There never was a time when the legislature more liberally promoted the interests of the church. In each of the years 1809, 1S10, 181 1, 20 a grant of a 100,000 was made to the governors of Queen Anne's bounty for the augmentation of small livings. 'Three Acts of Par- liament have passed, in the years 1806, 1809, and 1S10, for exonerating livings not exceeding 150 a year, from the Land Tax charged upon them, to the amount of 8000 a year. See 46 G. III. c. 133. 49 G. in. 2Z. c. 67. 50 G. in. c. 58. N.B. No former parliamentary grants of this kind appear to have been made in Great Britain.' In Ireland from the Union to 1S08 5000 Irish was annually granted to the Board of First-Fruits for building churches and glebe-houses. From 1S0S the sum was doubled, and in each of the years 1810, 181 1 a iq further grant of 50,000 British was made for the same purpose. Danger to the church may arise, ' if the abuses of the Church should be confounded with its interests. . . The returns of the non-resident clergy, for instance, are now annually printed ;' or again from 'a dis- cordance of sentiment between the clergy and laity.' 2C In p. 58 Vansittart refers to the review of Marsh's Inquiry in the Brit. Rev. No. v. Is. Milner's Strictures, p. 283: 'The Three Letters of the Right Honourable Nicholas Vansittart, as being the production of a layman and a person of distinction, have operated with admirable effect on the 40 public mind.

Vansittart's second letter contains all the argument to be found in speeches, letters, prefaces, or reviews on that side, and contains it unmixed with personalities. . ' Indeed one of my adversaries [Dealtry?], whose situation it would especially befit to practise the benevolence which we are ordained to preach, has not only departed from the 5 subject of inquiry, . . but has substituted for argument a mass of personal invective, which it would be no less degrading to notice, than it was disgraceful to advance.' Marsh's history of translations has proved that the Society's boast of 'a new Pentecost' was exaggerated. The Society had not trans- IO lated so much as two gospels into any one language, into which they had not been before translated ; nor printed one entire gospel into any language into which a part of the Scriptures had not been inde- pendently translated. The charge against the Society that its designs were political, not 1 5 religious, Marsh had never made ; the religious zeal which animated its members he had alleged as the cause of their blindness to domestic danger. Marsh had said that the Society 'gives power to the Dissenter, popularity to the Churchman, and interest to the Politician.' That 20 there was a dissenting interest, whose power increased, as it was courted, he thought was plain. ' That Churchmen, who promote the Bible Society, thereby obtain popularity, while they who venture to oppose it are loaded with every species of abuse, can surely, after the late events, require no demonstration.' ' If you were member for a 25 county, in which a large portion of the voters were Dissenters, your zeal for the Bible Society would certainly have ensured you for the next general election, against any candidate who had opposed the Society.' ' If I had been then actuated by the desire of recommending myself to high ecclesiastical honours, I should have taken the side, 30 which was chosen by my opponents.' In pp. 13 seq. Marsh proves that he never claimed for the prayer- book an equality with the Bible. P. 25 seq. The Cambridge printing office had been particularly employed by the Bible Society. 'In the eight years which have elapsed 35 since the formation of your Society to the beginning of the present year, the number of Bibles and Testaments printed at our office have amounted to 531, 800: the number of Bibles and Testaments printed in the ei'jht preceding years, namely, from 179610 1803 inclusive, amounted to 201,000. The increase therefore in Bibles and Testaments has been in 40 the proportion of more than five to two . . . The number of Prayer- Books printed at our office in the eight years which have followed the formation of your Society has amounted only to 140,900; whereas the number of Prayer- Books printed at our office during the eight years which immediately preceded the formation of your Society, 45 amounted to 161,750 ... In 1802 and 1803 no Prayer-Books were printed at our office, the 161,750 having been printed in the six years from 1796 to the end of 1801. So much fairer was the opening for the printing of Prayer-Books in the eight following years . . . Though BIBLE SOCIETY (1812). 831 the number has decreased in the last eight years, it had been previously on the increase. In the four years ending with 1795, the number of Prayer- Books printed at our office was 101,500; in the four years ending with 1799, tne number was 116,750; in the four years 5 ending with 1801, the number was 133,000.' This is a fact for Simeon, 'who has addressed me in a tone of defiance, not usual among gentlemen, except in repelling a gross personal attack;' and declared that Marsh's 'argument is altogether founded on an assumption of a fact as true, which, if enquired into, will prove false.' 10 P. 33. A bishop, a vice-president of the Bible Society, applied shortly after the publication of Marsh's Inquiry, for 2000 copies of the prayer-book, to be distributed with the Bible. P. 35. Last March 'the Admiralty impressed, as it is termed, 1500, which will be continued annually, to the Chaplain General, for 15 the purpose of procuring books, including Prayer Books with Bibles, from the S. P.C.K.' P. 37 seq. The 'ancient prejudices' of whose surrender Vansittart boasts, are churchmen's prejudices in favour of the liturgy. P. 41. The friends of the Bible Society 'have discovered that I 20 was right in contending for the distribution, on the part of Churchmen, of both Bible and Prayer-Book. For shortly before the General Meeting of your Society, on the 6th of this month [May 181 2], at Free Masons' Tavern, proposals were circulated for another meeting at the same place, on that day fortnight, with the view of establishing 25 a kind of supplementary society, for the distribution of the Prayer Book;'' i. e. the Prayer Book and Homily Society. P. 42 : 'If it was Popery to urge the distribution of both Bible and Prayer Book, what would have been then [5 months ago] said of a Society for the distribution of the Prayer Book, without the Bible?' -50 P. 44 seq. The new society, formed by supporters of the Bible So- ciety, offers to distribute the homilies, which can scarcely be understood by a common congregation, and translations of the prayer-book. The S. P. C. K. printed 2550 Manx prayer-books in 1763, and 5000 in 1808. In 1 748 it finished an edition of the Welsh Bible and prayer-book of 35 15,000 copies; in 1752 it printed 15,000 Welsh Bibles and 5000 Testaments and prayer-books. In 1768 it printed 20,000 Welsh Bibles ; in 1799 it printed 10,000 and in 1809 20,000 Welsh Bibles and prayer- books. Two translations of the prayer-book had been made into East Indian languages by missionaries of the society. 40 P. 49 seq. 'My endeavours have been as successful as I could have reasonably hoped. When I pleaded from the University Pulpit, for the Articles of our Religion, I was assailed indeed with the bitterest reproaches, by a writer, who pronounced them a mass of mystery and delusion. But then I was indemnified for this abuse, by the approba- 4 r tion with which my Lectures were honoured, by every critic, who had a regard for the Church. When I pleaded at St. Paul's, for the national religion as the foundation of national education, the press again teemed with invective, on the part of those who would gladly 832 HERBERT MARSH. BIBLE SOCIETY. exclude the Liturgy from a system of religious instruction. But the National Society, which has formally recognized, and is now acting on the principles asserted in my Sermon at St. Paul's, affords sufficient evidence, both of the gooduess of the cause, and of the success with which it was maintained. Lastly, when the advocates 5 of the Bible Society, like the advocates of the Lancasterian system, were pleading for the distribution of the Bible alone, I again thought it my duty to plead for the distribution of the Prayer- Book. Here too I have the consolation to reflect, that the united efforts of my adversaries on this subject end at last with an Institution IO formed for the express purpose of distributing the Prayer Boole. ' A postscript laments the assassination of Perceval. 'As a conscientious regard to what I believe to be the truth, was the motive for publishing opinions, which were known to vary from the sentiments of a patron, at whose command were all the honours of the Church, 1 had after- 1 5 wards the satisfaction to learn from his own hand, that he was too magnanimous to be offended with a line of conduct which he knew was prescribed by a sense of duty.' Perceval wrote on 6 Febr. 1812, acknowledging the receipt of Marsh's Inquiry : 'I am too fully sensible of the motives which influence you, not to be able to differ from you 20 on that point, without suffering such difference to have the slightest effect, in diminishing the regard and respect, with which I am, Dear Sir, Yours, most truly, Sp. Perceval.' Perceval himself sent a copy of this letter to one of Marsh's most violent adversaries. Report of S. P. C.

And so far was this notion carried only four months ago, that only because I HISTORY OF TRANSLATIONS (1812). 833 had contended that Churchmen should distribute both Bible and Prayer- Book, I was publicly accused in my own University of entertaining principles which savoured of Popery.' ' The materials, as I went along, accumulated in such a degree, that 5 the publication which was designed only as an Appendix, has become a considerable and important work of itself.' ' The labour, which is requisite for a work containing notices, how- ever short, of all the translations which have been made of the Scrip- tures, from the earliest to the latest age, might sufficiently account, 1 o had no other cause intervened, for an interval of twelve weeks between the former and the present publication. T can assure my impatient adversaries, who have begun to suspect, that the threatened Appendix would never appear, that it comes before the public, as soon as it was possible to bring it.' 15 In four sections the translations into the languages of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, are severally reviewed. Sect. 5 draws out the result, in respect to the extent of the services rendered by the British and Foreign Bible Society. P. 17 : 'I must confess, that having resided twelve years in the 2 University of Leipsic, having had constant intercourse with the most distinguished among the literary characters of Germany, and having thus become well acquainted with the general state of literature in that country, I have felt equal surprise and indignation at the represen- tations which have been lately made, in respect to the Continent in 25 general, and to Germany in particular, on the state of religious know- ledge and the scarcity of the Bible.' P. 23: 'I have passed summer after summer among the German peasants, have been in the habit of visiting their houses, and, as far as my intercourse has extended, I have found them copiously supplied 30 with Bibles.' A large part of the tract is taken up with an account of the labours of ' those extraordinary men, the missionaries of Serampore.' Marsh clearly proves that the society's advocates had been guilty of great exaggeration, and had ignored the labours of their predecessors ; 35 indeed this is confessed by Owen. P. 119 : 'As the avowed object of the present work is the examina- tion of the foreign department, it would be quite inconsistent to enter at present into a second examination of the Society's operations at home. But as an answer to the arguments which have been brought 40 against me on this subject will be attended with much less trouble than the writing of the present work, I hope that, if my health permits, it will be ready in the course of a few weeks.' Owen's History of the Bible Soc. I. 198: 'To this learned, elaborate, and, with all its spleen and unfairness, very useful publication, no 45 direct answer was ever given. This reserve on the part of the advocates of the Institution, was construed, by the tribe of its minor opponents, into an admission of embarrassment, if not of defeat. The fact was 834 HERBERT MARSH. GAXDOLPHY. that, in the Professor's Appendix, truth and error were so artfully blended ; and so obvious a determination was shewn throughout to criminate the Society at all events, that no good was thought likely to arise from such a reply as would have been necessary to expose the perversion of its statements, and the fallacy of its conclusions.' c H. Marsh, Reply to Dr. At liner's strictures, pp. 34, 35 : 'At the time, when I published the Inquiry, it was a very common argument in favour of the Bible Society, that they had translated the Scriptures into a great many languages, into which they had never been trans- lated before. The advocates of the Society did not indeed agree in the 1 o number of such translations, the variations being so considerable, that some persons raised the number to about fifty, while others reduced them to about twenty. Yet they all agreed in attaching the highest importance to the supposed fact, that a great number of translations of the Scriptures had been made by the Bible Society. I inquired into 1 5 this alleged fact, and proved it to be destitute of foundation. I proved, that, at the very time, when such an ostentatious display was made with their supposed translations, the Bible Society had not translated even the four Gospels into any one language, into which they had not been previously translated. This point I clearly established in my History 20 of Scripture Translations, published soon after the Inquiry. What then was to be done? Translations, which were so important before, became all at once of no importance whatever. It was the distribution, not the translation of the Scriptures, which should be regarded. So says Dr. Milner in the Preface to his Strictures; he does not think it 25 necessary to examine the History of Scripture Translations, in which the pretensions set up by his Society were so exposed. The question about new and old translations is quite immaterial. Why then had so many new translations been claimed V A congratulatory letter to the Rev. Herbert Afarsk, D.D. F.R.S.

The peruRal of this little work induced me 40 to purchase your correspondence with Mr. Vansittart on the same subject ; together with your Sermon preached in St. Paul's Church, London, on June 13, 181 1. You may easily conceive, then, with what real delight and satisfaction I observed, that, in these writings, you contend for this principle, " true religion cannot be found by the jc /iible alone." The soundness of this doctrine was originally contested by Luther; and as you well know, has been a subject of dispute between Catholics and Protestants, from that period to the present time. Allow me then to congratulate with you and religion, on the bold and PETER GAXDOLPHY (1813). 835 manly manner, in which you have given up this vital principle of Pro- testantism .... As you must know, Sir, we have always entertained, as well as yourself, a high respect for the Liturgy ; and though we have never thought of placing it on an "equality with the Bible," a 5 charge at which you very properly spurn etc. . . . This is, then, exactly what the Liturgy and Catechism are amongst Catholics they are two names for the same thing. I have given, Sir, a new edition of our Liturgy, accompanied with explanatory notes ; and am not less strenuous than yourself, that as far as Catholics are in question, it I o should be put into their hands together with the Bible. ' But, Sir, you will excuse me if I say, that you have committed a great mistake, by affirming .... "that Catholics give no Bible at all." By which, I suppose, you mean to say, that in the Catholic Church Bibles are denied to the people. Now, at this very period of time, in 1 5 this Country, we have two Catholic editions of the Bible in the Press ; which moreover are printing in shilling numbers, for the convenience of the people. One is edited by a printer of the name of Sayers, the other by one of the name of Haydock both inhabitants of Manchester. The Rev. John Worswick, Catholic clergyman of Newcastle-upon- 2 Tyne, is also engaged in printing a cheap edition of the Testament, expressly for the poor. I take no notice of other editions of the Bible Conducted in Ireland. A vender, moreover, of these Bibles constantly stands, by my permission, at the door of my own chapel, in London, during divine service, soliciting subscriptions to these works. It is 25 true that we do not form large societies, for the purpose of distributing them indiscriminately. . . . Yet, Sir, if any of the Bible Societies feel disposed to try our esteem for the Bible, by presenting us some copies of a Catholic version, with or without notes, we will gratefully accept and faithfully distribute them. 30 'I therefore confidently trust, Sir, that since we are likely to suffer much, through your mistake, in the opinions of our countrymen, . . you will see the necessity of correcting your assertion, in the next edition you may give of the Inquiry. You are aware that this is particularly incumbent upon you at the present moment, when Catholics 35 have so much at stake, and when they are suffering so much in their reputation, by the slanders which are daily propagated concerning them, to serve some political purpose.' .... ' Indeed, Sir, I cannot sufficiently admire the ingenuity and masterly manner in which you urge the necessity of an other rule of faith besides the Bible only. It j.o is a coup tie grdce to the old principle of the Reformers, from which, I think, they can never recover. And it is given in the true Catholic style of boldness, which convinces me that you feel your own strength.' Gandolphy (p. 423), returning from service in a country Baptist 4C chapel, asked a member of the congregation, whether he was a com- municant. 'No, only those who have an interest in Christ.' ' AVould y r ou not be afraid to die without baptism?' 'No, unless I thought I had an interest in Christ.' ' I cannot help comparing you to the dove, which finding no solid 836 HERBERT MARSH. GANDOLPHY. ground to rest on, returned to the ark from whence it had escaped. After fairly confessing the defectiveness of the grand Protestant prin- ciple of Luther and Chillingworth, the Bible alone you have, honorably to yourself and religion, publicly returned to the old principle of Catholics, and now contend with us, for that very 5 Liturgy, which the Reformers rejected. Your principle is mine and we have only to guide ourselves by it, to effect that happy union of our respective Churches, which the learned Dr. Shute Barrington declares to have been " a long desired measure," and an object "of the anxious wishes of some of the best and ablest members of both com- IO munions" ... As a Catholic, I certainly cannot assent to what this learned Bishop erroneously imputes to my religion ; but in every wish, expressing a love and desire of Catholic Union, I not only most sincerely accord, but would glory to become the servant of the servants of God, in promoting that event. Nor can any thing give me more i C pleasure and delight than to transcribe the following lines of this Prelate to his clergy'. . . ' In short, Sir, whilst you contend for the LlTURGT, as a necessary companion to the Bible, I shall never despair of seeing this " long desired measure" brought about since I actually consider you a 20 champion of the Catholic Church a defender of tradition. Your own adversary . . . styles it "the traditions of fallible men.'''' Every argu- ment and authority you urge against the Dissenters is evidence for us against the original Reformers : and the whole body of Catholic and Protestant controversy will be involved in the single question of the 25 comparative authorities of the two Liturgies . . . The argument be- tween us is simply a contest de valore testium, on which human judgement can easily decide' . . . 'I have no doubt, if you are only consistent with yourself, but you will perceive, in the end, that the Catholic Liturgy is better founded -50 than that of your established Church . . . You will be under the necessity of carrying up the Liturgy, with the Catholics, beyond the period of the Reformation' . . . ' Once more, I congratulate with you and myBelf, on the opposition which you make to the Bible ALONE. It was in the persuasion, that 35 we entertain a common sentiment on this subject, that I determined to publish and dedicate to you a Sermon well calculated, as I conceive, to strengthen all those arguments you have advanced in your own publications.

' When your Letter to me was announced in the public papers, I expected only a pasquinade under a fictitious name, in which 15 I was again to be represented as an advocate for the Church of Rome, because I had promoted the Liturgy of the Church of England. Such representations are perfectly congenial with the spirit of the ancient Puritans But I never heard before, that the members of your Church admitted the similarity which was urged by the Puritans ; and 20 therefore, as your name was previously unknown to me, I supposed it was nothing more than a mask, to conceal an attack from some other quarter. I have been lately however informed, that you have a real existence ; and that, so far from writing in the way of ridicule or banter, you are serious in supposing me a defender of the Church of 25 Rome. I do not indeed perceive that you consider me as altogether a convert to your religion ; but you claim the honour (if an honour it is) of having, in the Margaret Professor of the University of Cambridge, an advocate of those very principles, which the writers of your Church have urged against the Reformation. You suppose that I have 30 abandoned "the vital principle of Protestantism" . . . The notion, once entertained by every Protestant, that the Bible only is the fountain of religious truth, is now abandoned, as you imagine, by a Divine even of the Established Church.' Distinction between true religion and established religion (pp. 5 7). For the truth of their doctrines church- 35 men appeal to the Bible (p. 7). In his writings against the Lan- casterian system and the Bible Society, Marsh 'addressed churchmen only, and warned them against a danger to the establishment (pp. 8 11 ; a note p. 10 on the sale of prayer-books at Cambridge). In arguments with protestant dissenters (pp. 11, 12), or with Romanists (pp. 40 13, 14) he would appeal to the Bible alone. ' In the interpretation of Scripture, I would analyse every passage with the severity of a critic ; I would investigate its meaning unfettered by theological systems ; and the meaning thus discovered I would adopt as the true meaning.' Marsh never placed the Liturgy on an equality with the Bible 45 (pp- 14 19) : 'Unless therefore you are prepared to let the Bible without Tradition, as I am to let the Bible icithout the Liturgy and Articles, be the rule for deciding controversies between your Church and mine, you congratulate yourself in vain on the similarity of our opinions. But your Sermon on " the Inadequacy of the Bible to be an 838 HERBERT MARSH. GANDOLPHY. exclusive rule of Faith" (though dedicated to me,) and your appeal to the Tradition of your Church, afford no reason to hope, that you will consent to the decision of our religious differences by the Bible alone.' Pp. 19, 20 : ' when I denied in the Inquiry, that it was the practice of your Church to distribute the Bible, I assure you, I did 5 not intend to say anything offensive or injurious . . . And though you are much to be commended for your own practice of distributing the Bible, it is only an exception to the rule and not the rule itself.' The concession of the Roman Catholic claims will lead to the over- throw of the church establishment (pp. 20 24). IO Herb. Marsh, The Abingdon Letter etc. 28 March 181 4, pp. 21, 22 : ' It is well known that about fifteen months ago I had a con- troversy with the Rev. Peter Gandolphy, on the question, whether I had not imbibed the principles of the Church of Rome. The pam- phlets, which we had published on that occasion, were re-printed in 1 5 Jackson's Oxford Journal ; Mr Gandolphy's on the 6th, and mine on the 20th of February, 18 13. The former was accompanied with remarks from a person who signed himself Peter the Hermit, and who declared that I had evidently papistical principles. The latter was re-printed without remarks on the part of the Editor ; but in the 20 same paper another attack was made on me by Peter the Hermit. This same Peter had moreover filled whole columns in some of the immediately preceding numbers of that Journal, in which my opposi- tion to the Bible Society was represented as an opposition to the Bible. It was hence inferred, that I must be an enemy to all religion ; that 25 I would neither read the Bible, nor suffer others to do so ; that I was preventing the poor from finding the road to Heaven, from which I wished to exclude them as well as myself.

'The polite answer you have published to the Congratulatory 25 Letter I had the honour of addressing to you, on the subject of your Inquiry, calls upon me to acknowledge that every line therein exhibits evidence of having been inscribed by the pen of the scholar and the gentleman. I feel moreover rather compelled again to obtrude myself upon your attention, because you appear completely to have mistaken 40 the circumstance that occasioned my Congratulatory Letter to you, and I. should be extremely sorry were it believed, that I had imputed to you any sentiment which your own language does not convey to the reader. You seem to think that I was referring to a defence of religion against Dissenters, when I extolled the good sense of those arguments 45 urged by you, in favour of a distribution of the Liturgy. By no means. Your Sermon at St. Paul's, your Inquiry, your Letter to -M u. Vanhittart, all clearly proved to me, that you were reasoning with Protestants of the Established Church, and labouring to convince gandolphy's second letter (1813). 839 them, that if they sincerely wished their children to profess the same religion as themselves, . . . they must accompany the distribution of the Bible, with the distribution of the Liturgy Nothing was ever more foreign from my thoughts, than to compliment you, for appeal- 5 ing to an authority, whilst arguing with the Dissenter, which the Dissenter does not admit. I should first endeavour to convince him of the necessity of admitting that authority; which was my real motive for inscribing to you The Sermon on the Inadequacy of the Bible TO BE AN EXCLUSIVE RULE OF FAITH.' IO The three orders in the ministry, infant baptism, the observance of Sunday, etc. depend, not on Scripture, but tradition.

A middle course is no longer possible, and you must either agree to maintain the Christian Hierarchy by a re-union with the Church of Rome, and a concordatum with the Papal See, grounded upon mutual concessions, or you must be prepared to see the whole religious establishment of this empire absorbed in that over- 25 whelming current which, as you are so well aware, is fast undermining its foundations.' P. 409 : ' Since I had the honour of addressing to you my CONGRAT- ULATORY Letter, 1 have had the great satisfaction of perusing your two Courses of Lectures on Divinity. They have fully established 30 in my mind the opinion I had conceived of your extensive reading, your learning, and solid judgement, and this opinion is particularly strengthened by observing these Lectures universally inculcate the necessity of Tradition ; and I may add, the necessity, by inference, of a supreme defining authority. I conceive, Sir, it is impossible for ^c any Christian, any Theologian, to hear, or peruse your Lectures, and not to feel discouragement, if not absolute dismay, at the Herculean work your labours have cut out for him. . . . You can best tell the difficulties of the course you have run, and the obstacles to be en- countered.' 40 Pp- 4 1 4-4 extracts from Marsh's lectures, to the effect (p. 425) that 'every line of the inspired writings, and consequently the sense which the language conveys, absolutely rests on the evidence of human criticisms.'

Now as truth is one, and error always various, and as any one of these authori- ties may possibly be right, I shall only be surprised if your readers do not feel an alarm and anxiety similar to that which, you say, struck 840 HERBERT MARSH.

I can easily perceive that when you believe a scriptural sentence to be the word of God, though you only discover this truth by the means of biblical criticisms, your faith will really repose upon the IO testimony of God.

And though I acknowledge in him the spiritual character of Chief Bishop, and 20 Supreme Pastor of Christ's Church, surely that is easily distinguished from the character of a Sovereign, of a Prince, or of a Civil Legislator.

Margaret Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, in confutation of his opinion, that tlie dissenters are aiming at the Subversion of the RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENT of this Country, in order to possess its Honours -JO and Emoluments, and to establish their own Forms of Worship. By a Protestant Dissenter and a Layman. . . 181 3. Dated Cambridge, March 11, 1813. [Reprinted in the Pamphleteer, 1815, 8vo. VI. 295 300]. ' In your answer to the Rev. Peter Gandolphy, the Roman-catholic Clergyman, you have imputed certain sentiments to Protestant Dis- 35 senters, which they, most assuredly, do not hold. ... I shall confine myself chiefly to the opinion you entertain, that the Dissenters are aiming at the subversion of the present Ecclesiastical Establishment of this country, in order to make way for their own peculiar forms, and consequently to possess the honours and emoluments which you now 40 enjoy In order to come to your conclusion, you appear ... to confound various parties very distinct from each other the Protestant Dissenters of the present age, with the Presbyterians in the time of the Commonwealth. ... It is very evident that you ... do not under- stand our principles. . . . The great body of Protestant dissenters .... AC profess the same leading doctrines, and regulate their lives and conduct by the same general precepts, as defined by your Church, in its Arti- cles and Homilies. . . . Thus, you see, we are agreed, in the main, as to the Truth of your religion : here we have no controversy with you. The grand difference between us is, as to the Mode, the Forms and 842 HERBERT MARSH. THE PROTESTANT DISSENTER. Ceremonies, and to the Establishment of your religion. We object to it and dissent from it, upon this ground ; and not to yours only, but to all religious establishments. Can it then be imagined, for a moment, that persons, whose distinguishing religious tenet is the disavowal of all human authority in religion, could ever be tempted to impose their 5 religion on others ? .... I sincerely hope and trust you will not impute these reflexions to any bitterness or hostility of Party Spirit nothing being more the object of my aversion ; but that you will merely consider them as a true statement of our principles, which you do not appear to have examined with your usual care and attention. That you have io wilfully misrepresented us, I cannot for a moment conceive : your liberality on other occasions absolutely prohibits every suspicion of this kind. You are certainly entitled to every mark of respect for your gentleman-like conduct towards the Dissenters, not only in your Literary capacity, but also as a Townsman and as a Neighbour.

Smith, printer to the university ; and sold by Deighton, Nicholsons, and Barrett, Cambridge ; and Kivingtons, London. 1813. 8vo. pp. 20. [In Trinity Library]. Dated Cam- 25 bridge 23 Mar. 1813. [Reprinted in the Pamphleteer, 1815, 8vo. vi. 301 311]. The gentlemanly and friendly tone of the ' Layman and Dissenter' induces Marsh to reply, being desirous to be set right, especially at the present time, if he has misunderstood the views of the dissenters. 3 A petition from the ministers of the three denominations, Presby- terians, Independents, and Baptists, is before parliament, which prays ' for the repeal of all the penal statutes, now in force, whose operation extends to the province of religion.' This petition was voted 2 Febr. 18 1 3 at the library in Red Cross Street, and presented to the lords 35 4 March. A similar petition had been voted 21 Apr. 1812. P. 4 : 'I have thought it my duty to state, what I conceived would be the effect of the required concessions on our ecclesiastical Estab- lishment. I apprehended, that as well Protestant, as Catholic Dissen- tients, when their political wishes were obtained, and we were all equal 40 citizens of the state, would soon begin to complain of the supposed injustice of then withholding from them a proportionate share in the revenues of the Church.' P. 5 : 'But in performing what I considered as my duty to the Church, I carefully endeavoured to abstain from language, which 45 might offend either Catholic or Protestant Dissenters.' P. 7. The Layman had cited from the postscript to Marsh's Letter to Gandolphy, ' when the making and the administering of the laws in this country shall bo equally extended to all religious parties, it is LETTER OF EXPLANATION (1813). SI. - } easy to foresee that the honours and emoluments, which are now exclu- sively enjoyed by the Ministers of the Established Church, but which all parties are equally desirous of obtaining, would then be demanded by all parties,' and had declared that no such demand would ever be 5 made ; Marsh replies, p. 8 : 'I think there can be no offence in saying, that Protestant, as well as Catholic, Dissentients, are desirous of ob- taining a share in the emoluments of the Church. I never knew a Churchman, who did not think them worth possessing.' The Layman asserted that protestant dissenters could have no IO temptation to overturn the established church. P. i r : 'Principles like these [i.e. those of Dissent], producing such feelings of soul, are too pure, spiritual, elevated, and refined, to admit such debasement, as to become the creatures of the State, and to be mixed with the selfish plans ... of worldly policy and aggrandisement.' Marsh I c replies : ' I am so thoroughly persuaded of your good intentions, that I feel no disposition to examine the strength of your arguments. I will not observe, that the Independents, in the time of Cromwell, had the same constitution, the same unconnected societies, the same spiritual feelings, as you have here described, and yet that they eagerly sought, 20 and eventually obtained, the revenues of the CJiurch.'' P. n : 'I will hope that Churchmen and Dissenters may long continue to preserve the habits of mutual friendship and affection ; and that both parties may enjoy uninterrupted repose.' To shew that he was not alone in anticipating danger from pro- 25 testant dissenters Marsh cites Edinb. Rev. No. 38 p. 455, an authority 'totally free from all prejudices in favour of the Church Establish- ment,' and Brit. Her. Xo. 4, pp. 444 447, Dec. 1S11, a journal which 'though I do not think it great authority on all points, is generally considered as good authority on what relates to the views of the 30 Di.-senters. For though it is conducted by Churchmen, it is con- ducted by that party which has more intercourse with the Dissenters, than other Churchmen.' That review was alarmed at the junction of the Methodists with the Dissenters. Marsh explains, p. 15, that the Calvinistic Methodists were united with the old Dissenters in The 35 Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty. On 29 July 1 81 2 the royal assent was given to the lteligious Worship Act, 'an Act introduced for the express purpose of satisfying the Dissenters and Methodists, and which it was supposed would induce them to ac- quiesce, at least for the present.' The same day the Protestant to Society resolved, at the New London Tavern, that their efforts ' shall be persevering to obtain the repeal of every penal law.' Pp. 19, 20 : 'I have been solely actuated by a sense of duty to that Church, which I am pledged to defend;... if I have conse- quently opposed the interest, which appeared inconsistent with the 45 interest of the Church, I have done it without feelings of personal disrespect for those, to whom the former interest attaches. That I have been urged by motives of self interest, I am sure you will not suppose : for I have resisted what is promoted by those, who dispense the honours and emoluments of the Church.' 55 844: HERBERT MARSH.

P. 254: 'Those who know me at all, know, that it woukl have been more grateful to my temper, and more according to my habits, to have had some good reasoning to encounter, some difficult knots to untie.' P. 264 : ' Dr. Marsh appears to me to lay abundantly too much stress on the niceties of Biblical criticism.... I do not think that a minute and 5 accurate investigation of the various readings of manuscript'', or a scientific knowledge of the grounds of preference in settling the very best reading in all cases, ought to be considered as the most important part of divinity. Experience shews, that men may be very knowing in these things, and yet be very poor divines ; may spend their lives in the cultivation of this species IO of knowledge, and yet be neither remarkable for the soundness of their faith in Revelation, their skill in appreciating its doctrines, or their zeal in enforcing them Now, that our Margaret Professor of Divinity himself cannot have been influenced by any extraordinary zeal for promoting the study of divinity, in that sense of the term according to which, in my K judgement, the science of real divinity consists, I collect from these facts. He was chosen the Margaret Professor in 1807. He read six public lectures in the year 1S09, and six others in 1810 ; all of them, after the introductory one, treated merely on the criticism of the Bible. We were led to expect that his next lectures would be on the interpretation of the Bible. The third 20 branch of them was to relate to the authenticity and credibility of the Bible This may suffice to shew that labouring in verbal criticisms, and labouring to promote the study of the Bible, are not exactly the same tiling.' P. 266 : ' If every young student in divinity is first to go through a long course of Biblical criticism, ...there is... considerable danger, lest on meeting 25 with numerous and unexpected variations... in many of the readings of the MSS., his mind should become impressed with sceptical surmises and sus- picions respecting the truth of the whole book itself Dr. Marsh may be as8urfd that some of his greatest admirers have thought him not sufficiently on his guard in this respect.' 30 P. 267: 'Dr. Marsh perhaps may think, that the preaching and ex- pounding the Word of God, and diligently exhorting the people to an observance of Christian duties, however useful these parochial employments may be, scarcely merit the name of the Study of Divinity. On the other hand, I should not be surprised if some of his opponents... should insinuate 35 to him, that Biblical criticism is a subject on which a person of tolerable attainments and plausible address may, in a little time, and with no great depth (if learning, compose a few superficial lectures, extracted from various prefaces, and prolegomena of authors, especially from those of the laborious German writers, which may appear sufficiently specious and imposing to 40 those who are scarcely acquainted with such subjects.' C'f. pp. 268, 269. In pp. 269 272 Milner sketches out his own plan of theological study, which is superficial in the extreme, Paley's Evidences and Hone Paulinse Ix-ing the only books recommended, beyond the text of the Bible and Prayer- I'<.ok, and Milner'a history of the 'true' Church. 45 ' n I'l' 7 1?,, 274, he is guilty of the imprudence of putting his theo- loiric:i) labours in comparison with Marsh's. ' Many scores of my former pupils are at this day grateful in remembering how indefatigably laborious milner's strictures (1813). 847 I was for many years in teaching the right principles of moral evidence. ... In the continuation of the History of the Church of Christ, I have spent much time in diligent researches into the corruptions of Christianity under the Papal hierarchy... .1 have long been convinced that a more accurate 5 knowledge of the nature of that Antichrist which is so significantly pointed at in the prophecies, is an essential ingredient in the information of every good divine Although many of my intimates well know my infirmities to he such that I can seldom trust myself at church or other assembly, without suffering very considerable inconvenience, yet for a great many years I have I O struggled to preach six, eight, ten, or twelve times in the year at Carlisle, and also four or five times at Queens' College.' This grotesque passage reminds one of Milner's hypocondriac letters to Wilberforce. Compare Milner's picture of his opponent (pp. 275, 276): 'Never yet have I heard a single person contend that Dr. Marsh was " mighty " in the 15 doctrines of the "Scriptures;" or that he was either skilful or industrious in making men wise unto salvation In the two or three specimens which I remember of Dr. Marsh's divinity, delivered in the pulpit of St. Mary's, I had to lament what I thought an erroneous conception of a most essential article of our faith, and also a misrepresentation of a divine who is well 20 known to have maintained it with singular zeal and perseverance.' In pp. 282 285 Milner praises in detail the answers already made to Marsh, and prints extracts from a speech of Tho. Gisborne's in the couuty Hall Stafford, at a meeting in April 1812. P. 297: 'We know very well that our Inquirer's pen was ready 25 f>>r issuing electioneering squibs, and discussing corporation and county interests.' Pp. 307 320 are occupied with an endeavour to justify the statement that Marsh had recommended the Prayer-Book as a corrective of the Bible.

ISAAC MILNER, Milner hoped to bring down the Church History to 181-2 (pp. 398, 399). Milner's speech at Cambridge 12 Dec. 181 1 (pp. 408419) is chiefly occupied with Marsh's Address ; ' Your Lordship has heard that this measure originated in the zeal and activity of a number of ingenuous under- graduates, who discovered a great desire to Bee instituted in this place an 5 Auxiliary Bible Society. The very moment I heard of their design, I saw the danger that must arise, if such a plan and its execution should remain in their hands The first [point] respects these ingenuous youths them- selves: I do affirm, that nothing could exceed the modesty of their deport- ment and the moderation exemplified in their whole conduct. ...There were 10 many circumstances which called loudly on me to be most particularly can ful to give no ground whatever for its being said,. ..that one Head of a College, secretly or openly, directly or indirectly, had been active in encouraging seditious and turbulent spirits. ...

It is impossible to describe Milner's Strictures more truly to the life, than Marsh has done {Reply, App. p. 29): 'I will propose the question, wh"ther a probable Hypothes's may not be formed, to account for the wonderful phamompna exhibited in Dr. Milner's book. They are effects, 20 which different philosophers might ascribe to different causes : but the rules of Sir Isaac Newton may serve to direct our choice. In controversial writings, we are frequently gratified with the effects of good manners, (food temper, candour towards an adversary, and mildness in the support of the author's own ojiinion : whereas we are sometimes disgusted with coai'sc man- 25 tiers, a malignant temper, self-conceit, a spirit of intolerance, and a thirst of revi nge. The appellation of vera causa belongs equally to loth classes. But when we have to choose among various existing causes, Sir Isaac Newton informs us, that those only can be adopted, quae phseuomenis explicandis siiiVciunt.' ?<-, A sermon preached before the university of Cambridge on the commencement Sunday, July 4, 1813.

' Of the controversy on the Bible Society I took 15 formal leave in May 18 12, and nothing would have induced me to write again on that now exhausted subject, if I had not been compelled by the must extraordinary piece of controversial Divinity which ever issued from the press.' From the time of the fomiation of the Bible Society, Marsh lamented 20 that Churchmen should promote it, rather than the S. P. C. K., but remained silent in the controversy, 'till the end of November 181 1, when preparations were making for the formation of an Auxiliary Society in Cambridge I thought it my duty, as Professor of Divinity, to print an Address to the University Senate, in which I stated my sentiments on the two Societies, 25 in a manner as little offensive as possible to those, whose opinions I opposed.' It was imprudent to oppose a Society patronized by the prime minister; it was not only a personal sacrifice, but adversaries were emboldened to load the author of the Address with indignity; all agreeing in justifying the non- distribution of the prayer-book with the Bible. This led to the 'Inquiry' 3c and the History of Scripture Translations; the latter still unanswered; the former answered by many writers, of whom Vansittart was 'in all respects the most dcserrinij of a reply. And with my letter to Mr. Vansittart, ...in May 1S12, 1 took leave of the controversy after a combat of six months. ... I had the- satisfaction of seeing the good effects of the Inquiry in a rapid 35 increase of the distribution of the Prayer-Book.' ' I little expected in April, 1813, that Dr. Milner would renew the contro- versy by the publication of an Svo. volume containing more than 400 pages. ... My literary character must materially have suffered, had 1 been silent.' It was impossible to reply at once, because Milner's Strictures came out 40 'a few days before he knew my public Lectures would commence.' In both of Milner's mathematical criticisms, that relating to Marsh's Theorem, and that relating to Newton's Vera Causa, he is mistaken. ' There is one consolation, however, which we may derive from his mis- takes. We have been long lamenting, that he has never favoured us with 4c a single mathematical Lecture, since his appointment to the Lucasian Pro- fessorship in 1798. But now our lamentation wil. cease.' 'There is one Chapter of his Strictures, which is entitled the Dean of Carlisle's Infirmities But however consistent it may be with the elegant 850 HERBERT MARSH. REPLY TO feelings of Dr. Milner to inform the public of his "powerful medicines" he should not have forgotten, that he had previously compared himself wiih Hercules, in whose arms his adversary was "squeezed to dtatk." Now we read of Hercules in the cradle strangling serpents ; we read of Hercules and his twelve labours ; we read of Hercules at the court of Omphale ; 5 but Hercules, in a course of physic, is a scene, which neither poet nor painter, before Dr. Milner, had ever attempted to describe. ...I shall leave the public to judge of Dr. Milner's urbanity, in the treatment of his opponent, who is a brother Professor in the same University. For myself I make no complaint; for it would be unreasonable to expect, what it is 10 impossible to find. Nor am I anxious to know the kind of company, in which Dr. Milner (if it is not an ingenious fiction) has so frequently heard it asked, Who, and what is Dr. Marsh ? Perhaps it would be fair on such an occasion to make a retort. But I will not mortify Dr. Milner even by pretending to have frequented company, where it was necessary to ask, 1 5 Who and what is Dr. Milner ? But as no one has hitherto attempted to account for the opinion entertained by many of his friends, that he is a very powerful writer, 1 will endeavour to account for it in a few words. He is always powerful in his manner; not often powerful in his matter; and less often judicious in its application. But manner is confounded with matter, 20 and rudeness with skill; whence the motions of uuwieldiness are mistaken for motions of strength.' ' PABT I. General defence of the Inquiry. Chapter I. The "Inquiry into the consequences of neglecting to give the prayer-book with the Bible," founded on the fact, that the non-distribution of the prayer-book with the 25 Bible was then justified by the church-advocates of the Bible Society ' (pp. 10 13). 'The writings, which followed the publication of the Inquiry, though full of invective against the author, held a very different language, in respect to the distribution of the Prayer-Book, from the speeches and writings, which immediately preceded the publication of it. And the esta- 30 blishment of a supplementary Society within a few months afterwards, for the pur]K)se of an increased distribution of Prayer-Books, on the part of the Church-members of the Bible Society, was an open .acknowledgement on their parts, not only that I had acted wisely, in pleading for an increased distribution of the Prayer-Book, but that I had not pleaded in vain.' %c 'Chapter II. Proof of the fact, that when the Inquiry was published, the church -advocates of the Bible Society justified the non-distribution of the prayer-book with the Bible' (pp. 1317). 'In the interval, which eh.psed between the publication of my Address to the Senate, in November, 1811, and the publication of the Inquiry, at the end of January, 181 7, the 40 examples were almost innumerable, "in which Churchmen themselves con- demned the position maintained in the Address Mr. Vansittart's Letter ..whs reprinted in newspapers, magazines, reviews, hand-bills, &o. and circulated with an almost incredible assiduity throughout the kingdom. In the Christian Observer (the very oracle of the Church-Advocates of the 45 Itililc Society) it was re printed in the number for December, 181 1, with the observation that "it gives a conclusive answer to every thing" in my Addr-ss. It was reprinted, with my Address, in Professor Parish's Report " f ll "' s l ( l"s made at the Auxiliary Meeting in Cambridge, on the 12th ISAAC milner's strictures (1813). 851 December, 1811 ; which Report was in the press at the same time with my Inquiry.' ' Chapter III. Further proof of the fact from Dr. Milner's own speech at the town-hall, in Cambridge, on Dec. 12, 181 1. With remarks on his 5 present attempt to vindicate his application of the terms tradition and corrective to the prayer-book' (pp. 18 24). He said 'I would not represent the distribution of the Bible alone, as a thing that cannot be done with safety, unless accompanied with the Corrective of a Prayer- Book ;' and also applied the term Tradition to the Prayer-Book. IO * Chapter IV. Weakness of Dr. Milner's effort to evade the fact' (pp. 2533). Milner said that Marsh had confounded the Society in i s corporate capacity, which could not distribute Prayer-books, with the individual members, who were free to do so. Marsh retorts (p. 29) : ' The omission of the Prayer-Book, when the Bible was distributed, they did not 15 acknowledge as a defect. The circumstance, that their Society confined its distribution to the Bible, was so far from being considered as a matter, which required a remedy, that it was represented as constituting the peculiar excellence of the Society. It was considered as its chief virtue, that it did not associate " human frailty " with "divine wisdom."... To require more 20 than the Bible was represented as downright Popery.' P. 31 : 'Throughout the whole of his speech not a syllable was said about individuals supplying what the Society withheld.' ' Chapter V. Artfulness of the attempt to get rid of the fact by the means of substitution ' (pp. 34 42). 2 5 P- 35 : ' The fact, on which the Inquiry was founded, has been clearly stated ... , namely, that the Church-Advocates of the Bible Society justified the non-distribution of the Bible with the Prayer-Book. It was this act of justifying the omission, and not the omission itself, which constituted the fact in question.' Simeon, followed by Milner and many others, substituted 30 the latter for the former. P. 37: 'with the politeness of a true gentleman he [Simeon] says to me "no one but yourself has had the hardihood to affirm the existence of such a fact, and much less to assume it without a shadow of truth." ' ' Chapter VI. Whether the practice, of distributing the prayer-book with 35 the Bible among the poor of the establishment, did generally prevail during the eight years, which elapsed between the formation of the Bible Society and the publication of the Inquiry ' (pp. 42 52). Pp. 43, 44 : 'A short time before the anniversary of the Bible Society, on the 6th of May, 1812, a Prospectus was distributed for the purpose of forming a Supplementary 4 Society, which Society actually was formed on the 20th of the same month at the Free Masons' Tavern, where the members of the Bible Society had met on the 6th. The title of the Prospectus was as follows : " Reasons for establishing at the present time a Prayer-Book and Homily Society, for the sole purpose of distributing gratis and circulating at reduced prices the 45 Prayer-Book and Homilies of the United Church of England and Ireland." ... No one had ever thought of a Supplementary Society in aid of the Prayer-Book, till after the Inquiry was published; but only three months had elapsed from the time of its publication, when measures were 852 HERBERT MARSH.

I mention this circumstance to the honour of those, who set it on foot, among whom Mr. Wilberforce himself, as I well know, took an active part." P. 45 : ' We have here [in the first paragraph of the Prospectus] an un- 5 equivocal admission that the circulation of the Prayer-Book was " hitherto only partially accomplished :" and the constitution of the Bible Society is assigned as a reason for it.' Pp.51, 52: ' While the number of Bibles was wry rapidly increasing in the period between the beginning of 1804 and the end of 181 1, we have seen, first, that the number of Prayer-Books 10 printed by the two Universities, was an hundred and forty thousand less, than during the eight years which preceded 1804; seconelly, that during the same period (1804 1S11) the King's Printers, Messrs. Eyre and Strahan, printed no Prayer-Books whatever; and thirdly, that the Prayer-Books, printed for Mr. Reeves, if we except a single edition, were neither of that I 5 description, which persons in general buy for gratuitous distribution, nor ' etc. ' Chapter VII.

Absurdity and malice of the attempt to represent an oppo- sition to the Bible Society, as implying an opposition to the Bible, with an 30 explanation of the challenge on this subject' (pp. 64 70). Pp. 64, 65: 'A few days after the publication of my Address to the Senate, a handbill with a superscription alluding /* that Address was very extensively circulated both in the University and in the Town of Cam- bridge, containing the following passage: "And yet to these Societies n there are they, who dare to object. 1 say dare, because circulated as the New Testament has been described to be, without... comment, they who oppose tin hi, oppose the circulation of the tcord f those 854 HERBERT MARSH. REPLY TO biblical translations, which parade in the list of the Bible Society, that this respectable and learned body, so far from being offended at my publica- tious on the Bible Society, has presented me with a very valuable token of their esteem, for the publication of that very book, which Dr. Milner has chosen to pas over in silence, I mean the History of Scripture Transla- 5 tions, in which justice is rendered to the biblical labours of the Baptist Missionaries at Serampore.' 'Chapter ill. Imputation of Popery' (pp. 70 73). Pp. 70 72: 'It is well known, that the speeches and writings, which followed the Address to the Senate, teemed with accusations of Popery 10 against the author of it Instructed and prompted by these accusations, Mr. Gandolphy, a Clergyman of the Church of Rome, and who would piobably not object to have the Margaret Professor for his coadjutor, has publicly claimed me, as an advocate of the Church of Rome. I have therefore explained to him, that our Litunjy, notwithstanding Dr. Mil-^1$ iter's comparison, has not a shadow of similarity with Romish Tradition.... 1 understand, however, that Mr. Gandolphy has published another Letter, in which he still claims ine as his own : and therefore, as I have nothing to add, yet cannot prevent the claim, if he chooses to make it, I must con- tent myself with the reflexion, that no man can intend to give offence by 20 considering others like himself. But the Protestant Dr. Milner certainly dots mean to give offence, when he imputes Popery to a Protestant Pro- fessor But I have the consolation to add, that, if I am a Papist, I am a Papist in company with Dr. Milner. " I predict (says he) what may per- haps surprise Dr. Marsh, that nothing will more endanger our ecclesias- 25 tical establishment, than the neglect of our invaluable Liturgy." Now, as Dr. Milner himself expects, that this declaration will surprise me, I ac- knowledge, when I compare it with his Speech on the 12th of December 181 1, that it really docs surprise me. For it contains the same popish doctrine, which I advanced in the Address, and in the Inquiry.' 30 ' Chapter IV. On Calvinism, as connected with the Inquiry' (pp. 74 t.

' He need 15 n t have declared, that "Dr. Milner has no pretensions to the honour of Dr. Marsh's friendship :" for Dr. Marsh has never claimed it. He adds that "he never visited Dr. Marsh so much as once in his life." Here he is mistaken. He called at my house about two years ago, when we had a long conversation, not on religion, a subject on which we have never con- 20 versed, but on the subject of the Cambridge Canal.' 1 Sp. Perceval, though he lamented Marsh's opposition to the Bible Society, gave credit to the excellence of his motives. 'Chapter vir. On Dr. Milner's representation of himself and his adver- sary' (pp. 126 132). 25 Pp. 126 129: 'While Dr. Milner represents his adversary as a person of restless disposition and fond of controversy, he represents himself as "one who is averse to controversy," and "of peaceable habits." Only once in his life, the present excepted, has Dr. Milner, according to his own account, been engaged in controversy: and then he was engaged with a Calvinist. }0 What a icickcd Calvinist it must have been to engage Dr. Milner ! But does Dr. Milner really imagine, that we have forgotten his attack on two celebrated -4nn this passage.' ac Burgess again assailed Marsh in 1N21 (to whom he bore a grudge because of their different views of the authenticity of 1 John v. 7), in his ' Vindica- tion of BiHhop Cleaver's Edition of the Decretum Lacedaemoniorum contra Tiinotheum.' 1\>: naturally questioned the prominence given by Marsh t critical theology (See Christian Observer, 1822, pp. 136 138). 50 CHARLES SIMEON (1813). 859 Dr. Marsh's fact; or, a congratulatory address to the church-member* of the British and Foreign Bible Society.

The congratulation is on the close of 'the Marshian controversy.' The two points on which Simeon thought that the whole controversy turned (p. 4) were ; ' first, The supposed obnoxious principles of the Clerical mem- IO bers of the British and Foreign Bible Society respecting Calvinism; and secondly, Their want of attachment to the Liturgy of their own Church.' As respects 1 (p. 5) 'the sentiments of the great majority of them accord with mine.' P. 21 : 'The complete acknowledgement of the doctrine of Justification by Faith alone, is one of singular importance.' Pp. 28, 29 : 15 ' Of all men he certainly has most promoted the distribution of the Prayer- Book amongst the poor : and therefore, though they have not much reason to thank him for their Bibles, they are indebted to him for having more Prayer-Books dispersed among them than they would otherwise have had. 1 am willing too to ascribe to him the establishment of the Prayer- Book 20 and Homily Society. . . . However, though Dr. Marsh has mistaken the reasons of forming this society, he certainly has, not intentionally indeed, but by accident, been the occasion of its establishment. As to promoting the distribution of Bibles, I doubt if there be any man who can vie with Dr. Marsh in any degree.

P. 7 : ' if it were necessary to call in the aid of christian 40 charity, I should not apply to Mr. Simeon ; for charity, as St. Paul informs us, is a virtue "which is not puffed up." ' P. 9 : 'In this very place we have a subsidiary Society [P.C.K.], where the Bishop of the Diocese piesides over his Clergy, though our meetings are not distinguished by popular harangues. And indeed, Sir, the harangues which are heard at ac your auxiliary meetings, are highly improper in a University. They in- flame the passions and create disorder ; they keep alive indeed the party spirit of your leaders, but they arc inconsistent with the dignity and the decorum, which becomes a meeting, where members of the University act so conspicuous a part." P. 9 Marsh denies Simeon's statement, repeated 56 860 HERBERT MARSH. (p. to) in the pulpit of Trinity church, that he made Baptism, Justification, and Sanctification, one and the same thing ; and enters into the question of the effect of the sacrament, rebuking Simeon's frivolous pleasantry (2 1 seq.) respecting baptism on a death-bed. P. 26 : ' But let us inquire, Sir, a little further into that "new and easy way of salvation, 1 ' which you say 1 have 5 discovered, and for which the Peers of the land are pre-eminently indebted, " because they by their influence may always have one of their chaplains near at hand, and consequently must be indiscreet indeed, if they do not. secure a happiness so easily within their reach,'" i.e. by baptism in the very article of death.

Hear his own words.' On p. 15 he adds, ' It is much to be regretted that Dr. Marsh did not submit this passage to some judicious friend before he sent it to the press.'

Dated 10 Dec. 1 81 3. In a second edition of his Congratulatory Address p. 23, Simeon still charges Marsh with making Baptism, Justification, and Sanctification, all the same tiling, although he acknowledges p. 36, that Marsh did not use 2 the term 'Sanctification.' P. 4 : ' Undoubtedly, Sir, a man may mean a thing, though he has not used the technical term for it. But the only question, which you had to consider, was whether I did mean, that Sanctification was the same thing as baptism. I have already proved to you in my former letter, that I did 25 not mean it ; and now, Sir, I will prove to you, that, notwithstanding your present excuse, you knew that I did not mean it.' P. 10 : ' These Skele- tons [Simeon's] are intended as Helps for your young Divines: and precious Helps they are.' P. 15 ; 'They [the reformers] knew nothing of the pangs of the New Birth, which are described in Wesley's Journals and the 30 Evangelical Magazine.' P. 20: 'Your application of the term "extreme sprinkling," which you compare with extreme unction, and your calculation of the chances of salvation in case a Clergyman should be engaged with his gun, or not have his horse in the stable, you endeavour to vindicate by the equally profane conversion of Hoc est corpus into Hocus pocvs\ P. 21: 2C ' You observe at p. 33 of your Appendix, " Serious arguments in abundance have been used relative to every part of Dr. Marsh's Inquiry : and if there be any, who think, that he has escaped from the grasp of Hercules, it is possible they may be assailed with effect by a different weapon ; since in the opinion of one, who was a good judge in such cases, Ridiculum acri 40 plenius ac melius magnas plcrunvpic secat res." It seems then, that my numerous assailants have had their several departments, and that yoitr's is the department of wit. While Hercules (a name which Dr. Milner will not thank you for reviving) has the office of squeezing me to death, the wit of Mr. Simeon was designed to cut me to death. But I think your co-adjutors 45 will be a little jealous of you, when they find that your wit has done the business plenius et melius, than all their squoezings and thumpings. And who should have supposed, that a wit would compare himself, (as you have done in the same page) with the prophet Elijah ? You have treated the present case, according to your own words, as "the prophet Elijah treated 562 862 HERBERT MARSH. CHARLES SIMEOX. the controversy between Jehovah and Baal." I hope however that the modern Elijah will not go so far as the ancient prophet : for he not only "mocked" the priests of Baal, but "slew them.'" P. 39: 'The attach- ment, of which you here complain, is an attachment to the cause of truth ; and though I cannot but rejoice at having so many personal friends, I 5 should act with equal injustice, both to them and to myself, if I ascribed their friendship to any other cause, than a persuasion, on their parts, that I deserved it. That their judgements have been "warped," till they have become insensible, either of error on my part, or of truth on your own, is a very unmerited imputation. In no instance, throughout the annals of con- IO troversy, has ever combatant engaged, with so little prejudice in favour of his cause, and with such a load of prejudice against it. I have stood alone against a host, which had united for my destruction. And while authors, without end, have assailed me with every species of invective, they have been immediately backed by their own literary journals, which in the form t C of impartial criticism, though party pamphlets themselves of the worst description, have disseminated their misrepresentations through all the classes of Society. Against such a combination there is nothing, which could have prevailed, but the cause of justice : and the friendship with which I am now honoured, must be ascribed, not to the insensibility of 20 error, but to the discernment of truth. My adversaries may continue, if they please, to load me with opprobrious titles. By turns I have been called, a Socinian, a Papist, an Infidel, a Mahometan ; and now it seems I am a priest of Baal. To these names I am indifferent, while I maintain the character of an honest man. 2 5 ' Here then I take my final leave ; and as you yourself, at the end of your Appendix, think it "high time" to do the same, I hope that the storm is over, and that henceforth we shall enjoy a permanent calm.' In his 19th lecture (Lectures, pt. IV. Cambr. 1816, pp. 6, 7), after citing Scripture in proof that 'the followers of Christ, when they have forsaken 30 sin, and passed through the laver of baptism, on their progress to the kingdom of heaven, have also entered into a new spiritual state,' Marsh continues, alluding to this controversy with Simeon, ' Resting on such divine authority, the Church of England has adopted this example with all the circumstances, which are warranted by St. Paul : anil since in this 35 particular instance our Church has been lately subjected to severe and un- merited censure, the occasion requires a few additional remarks in its defence.'

P. 3: 'A Pamphlet has lately l>een published, with the intention of shew- ing, that tin- Abingdon Letter, from which some extracts were inserted in the H< ply to Dr. Milner, is "not authentic.'" That I have actually received THE ABINGDON LETTER (1814). 863 such a Letter, is a fact, which, as far as I know, has not been questioned. But it is said, that this Letter is not what it professes to be ; it is said, that this Letter was fabricated by some person, in the name and character of another, in order to answer some particular purpose.' The author of thy e pamphlet, and also a Chelmsford quaker, suspected it was 'malignantly designed to asperse a religious body, and to add to the muster-roll of the artillery to be played off against the British and Foreign Bible Society.' P. 4 : 'The pamphlet... has been followed by a kind of judicial attestation on the part of five persons resident in Berkshire, and four persons resident IO in Oxfordshire, whose names are subscribed to a declaration in the Cam- bridge Chronicle of this day (March 25, 1814), which declaration has the following superscription : PROOF THAT THE ABINGDON LETTER IS NOT authentic' The letter itself (pp. 6 8) : ' Friend March, I have just been reading thy letter to Peter Gandolphy, and am much surprised at thy I r sophistry and equivocations, however thou mayest try to extricate thyself from the papistical confederacy. I think they do well to dub thee Father Professor. Though I am a plain Quaker, I always love the truth : and, as we shall soon meet at the bar of God, to give an account of the things done in the body, let me ask thee, as before God, Didst thou not in the first place, write against 20 the Bible Society, to be seen and known of men, and for preferment, more than from a desire of doing good ? . . . Bemember, I warn thee of thy ways. Thou art fighting against God ; thou art an enemy to true religion ; thou art a friend of the prince of the power of the air. . . Thou art an Agent for Hell: and soon the wrath of God will be poured out upon thee. Throw 25 down the arms of rebellion ; fall down at the foot-stool of mercy : call upon thy God, or else soon it will be too late. I warn thee of destruction. Escape for thy life. Thy Friend, James Whitin.' The letter was posted at Abingdon 26 Febr. 1813, and was quoted by Marsh when writing in the following August the chapter of his reply to 3 o Milner on the 'Absurdity and malice of the attempt to represent an opposition to the Bible Society as implying an opposition to the Bible'' (pp. 9, 10). Was the letter a forgery? (11 14). P. 14 : 'The writer must have had the gift of prophecy, to foresee that I should publish it. Indeed he could have no reason to expect it : nor had I, when I received the Letter, the most distant 3 c intention of ever printing it. I had then formally withdrawn from the contest: I had formally announced, that I had withdrawn; and, if he was an adversary of the Bible Society, he could not have been in the secret (then unknown even to myself) that Dr. Milner was preparing a work which would compel me to return to it.'

'Though Dr. Marsh could not possibly write on such a subject without his characteristic acuteness and ability, his mode of treating it was 5 deemed arrogant and hasty by one of the first Greek authorities of the day, in an article in the Quarterly Review' (ibid.). In this article (July 1815, xiii 340 351) it is said: ' On the whole, we are of opinion that considerable research and much ingenuity are manifested in this little work, but there prevails throughout a want of compression and lucid arrangement which IO renders it somewhat laborious to read. Dr. Marsh is a very able and acute controvertist, and a good scholar ; but it appears to us that antiquarian and philological inquiries demand a degree of doubtful and deliberate hesitation, a careful examination and weighing of authorities, to which (in this work at least) he has not always paid sufficient attention.' 1 5 In his Appendix to the Comparative View, ed. 2, p. 281 Marsh says : 4 The objections which the Bishop of St. David's has made to the Horce Pelasgicce, will be noticed in due season.

It is commonly said that clergymen may introduce what psalms and hymns they please into churches, because the version of Tate and Brady is later than the last Act of Uniformity, and no Act of Uniformity includes the metrical psalms. But the spirit of the Acts of Uniformity is ' decidedly adverse to that 35 liberty, in which too many of the Clergy at present indulge. ... It will be of no avail to preserve a consistency of doctrine throughout the prayers of the Church, if different doctrines are inculcated by the aid of psalms and hymns. Nor must we forget, that the impression, which is made by the singing of hymns, is much more powerful, and much more durable, than .jo the effect which is produced by the reading of prayers. The importance also which in many places attaches to the Hymn Book, is equal, if not superior, to the importance ascribed to the Prayer Hook. Hence the former becomes the manual for doctrine as well as devotion. . . We must further consider what is due to the dignity of the Established Church.. .There are 45 Hymn Hooks, which contain examples of such flippancy and vulgarity, such gross violations of good sense and good taste, that they arc really a disgrace to the Churches, in which they are used.' CHURCH SINGING. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS (1821). 871 The authority necessary to sanction hymns is that 'of the King, as Head of the Established Church,' the same authority which restricts readers of the lessons to the authorised version of .Scripture. The king in council sanctioned the new version 3 Dec. 1696; and the king's permission of the 5 old version ' is signified by the very act of printing them with the Prayer Book by the King's printer,' and by the words on the title, 'set forth and allowed to be sung in all Churches.' ' Whether it would be advisable... to make a new selection of psalms and hymns, which may accord with sound doctrine and genuine devotion, while I O they are better adapted to modern taste than productions of an earlier date ; to submit that selection to the judgement of the Bishops ; and then to petition the King in Council, that he would be pleased to allow the same to be sung in Churches, is a question which may become a fit subject for examination.' 1 5 An Inquiry info historical Facts relative to parochial Psalmody, in Reference to the Remarks of the Bishop of Peterborough.

A speech delivered in the house of lords, on Thursday, June 14, 1821, by 35 Herbert, lord bishop of Peterborough ; in answer to a petition presented to the house iguou8 Mid evasive ans.vers, which on'y concealed his opinions. P. 6 : ac '1 sent on the 1 7th of August, 1S21, another copy of my questions, which I desired this person to answer in the same direct and positive manner, with which no one had ever refused to comply. And I added, that if he SPEECH IN HOUSE OF LORDS (1822). 879 did not choose to conform to that mode, he could not be licensed. . . . Tn a Letter which T received from him on the 30th of August, 182 1, he in- formed me, that he could give me no other Answers, than tho.se which he had given already, but that, if I wished for more explanation, he was ready 5 to send it.' Lord Dacre, who presented the petition, thought that testimonials for orders rendered any further examination needless ; and argued from the 34th Canon against Marsh's questions. P. 1 1 : ' I do not deny the asser- tion of the Noble Lord, that I propose Questions which are technically I o termed leading Questions ; but they are not thereby converted into a new standard of faith. ' P. n n.: 'My original object in sending the Examination Questions to Candidates for Orders, before they appeared personally in the Ember week, has been greatly misunderstood : and that which was intended as an act 1 5 of kindness, has been represented as an act of harshness. I sent the Questions, that the Candidate might have time to consider them, and answer them at his leisure ; that if his answers were found to be at variance with the doctrines of the Established Church, I might have an opportunity of writing to him, and explaining in what respect he deviated from the doc- 20 trines of the Church ; and lastly, that if he persevered in doctrines which were irreconcilable with the Liturgy and Articles, he might be refused with- out undergoing the public disgrace of a rejection in the Ember Week. But my conduct in this respect has been so misunderstood, . . . that I have been compelled to relinquish it. At my last Ordination the Examination 2 5 Questions were answered at Peterborough : and so they will be in future.' P. 14 seq. The allegation that candidates for orders, and curates apply- ing for a licence were peremptorily required to conform to the questions, or to incur the penalty of being rejected 'is absolutely false . . Neither in practice nor in principle do I impose such hard conditions.' In the direc- 3 tions issued with the questions in Llandatf diocese, it was stated that an unsatisfactory answer might tend to candidates' exclusion from the sacred office. 'Put as this caution, though never carried into effect, was liable to misrepresentation, I re-printed the questions before I came to Peterborough and omitted the Directions. ... I have never rejected any one for unsatis- 35 factory answers on such subjects as Original Sin. Free- Will, and Grace, unless they were accompanied by answers to other questions, directly im- pugning the doctrine of the Liturgy and Articles, on subjects of the greatest importance. ' P. 16. Instead of adding 36 new questions to the 87 as alleged, Marsh 40 had 'substituted 36 for 87, namely, in the examination of Curates.' P. 18. The petitioner affirmed that the 39 articles are the only legal standard. Marsh adds the liturgy : ' The doctrine of conditional salvation, which pervades the whole of our Liturgy, is irreconcilable with Calvin's doctrine of absolute election.' 4 c P. 20 seq. Marsh shews that the 36th canon requires subscription to the liturgy, as well as the articles ; -and if Stat. 13 Eliz. c. 12 only men- tions the articles, the act of uniformity, 1 Eliz., only names the liturgy. P. 22 seep he proves his right to examine candidates and require an account of their faith ; and maintains that he only insists on the reception 880 HERBERT MARSH. SPEECH IN HOUSE of articles in their literal sense. The doctrine ef the church on baptism had been grossly impugned in some answers which he had received. P. 29 : ' If I had admitted those, who gave such answers, I might have been justly charged with having " recruited for dissenters.'" In reply to the charge of intolerance he states that be has spared no pains to recover those, who had 5 departed from the doctrines of the church, and that he has rejected on account of doctrine three only in five years. P. 30: 'If the toleration, which the Examination Questions are supposed to infringe, denotes the pri- vilege of preaching dissent from the doctrines of the Church, as well in out- own pulpits, as in licensed meeting-houses, it is a species of toleration IO which would shortly end iD the destruction of the Church.' P. 32 he answers the charge of novelty : ' When I myself was examined for Priests' Orders, nearly forty years ago, I was required to state my opinions on points of doctrine, which could not be done without assigning a meaning to the Articles. If the supposed precedent refers to the use of printed Ques- 1 5 tions, . . I am not the only Bishop, nor the Jirst Bishop, that has used priuted Questions.'. . . The petitioner having supposed that the royal declaration before the articles was levelled at Laud, Marsh reminds him that it was issued at the suggestion of Laud himself. P. 35 : ' As long as there are Clergymen who 20 are perpetually preaching about man's tolal depravity, the slavery of his will, unconditional election, and irresistible grace, it is very necessary that Candidates for Holy Orders should be warned against the practical con- sequences of these doctrines. And it is to these practical consequences, not to the doctrines considered merely in the abstract, that my Questions refer 25 in the three Chapters of Original Sin, Free-will, and Predestination.' P. 36. The abp. of Canterbury alleged, in answer to the petitioner, that he was not competent to interfere. The prayer of the petition was for an address to the king, to enforce the royal declaration, which would ' defeat rather than promote the purpose of the Petitioner.' 3 P. 40 seq. : ' From assurances, which I still possess, I know that they [the questions] were approved by learned and orthodox Divines : and if that approbation has been lately checked, it is the infirmity of human nature which recoils at the approach of danger. My Lords, it might not have been expected that a Bishop who devotes his life to the defence of 35 Christianity and . . of the Established Church, should be called before your Lordships to answer for his conduct. But as I am not aware that I have violated my duty even on the subject of complaint, I willingly resign my cause into the hands of jour Lordships.' Lord Dacre intended to conclude with a motion. As that could not be made until the petition was before 40 the house, Marsh consented to its being laid on the table, which was done without opposition, the Id. chancellor protesting against its being consi- dered as imputing blame to the bp. P. 42 : 'The trial of strength was on the concluding motion. This motion, which was originally intended for an Address to the throne, was 45 exchanged for a motion to refer the Petition to a Committee. But it appeared on a division that there were only 19 in favour of it, while there were 58 against it.' In a supplement Marsh combats lord Dacre 's objec- tion to his questions as 'abstruse and metaphysical. ' P. 45: 'But it is OF LORDS (1822). EXAMINATION QUESTIONS. 881 matter of notoriety, that those very Clergymen, who are most vehement in their censure of my Questions, dwell perpetually on the total depravity of man, on the slavery of the will, and unconditional election. If they them- selves therefore deem such abstruse subjects fit to be introduced into their 5 own Sermons, they are very inconsistent, when they contend, that a Bishop must not introduce them into his Examination.' 1 The following selection from the questions (p. 49 seq.) will shew their general drift.

Did the fall of Adam produce such an effect on his posterity, that mankind became thereby a mass of mere corruption, or of absolute and entire depravity ? Or is the effect only such, that we are very far gone from original righteousness, and of our own nature inclined to evil? 1. Does the notion of man's total corruption, 15 or absolute depravity, produce in general (what is considered its chief re- commendation) a deep sense of humility? 3. Has not the frequent repetition of the doctrine, that we are not only far gone from righteousness, but are nothing better than a mass of mere corruption and depravity, a tendency to destroy all sense of virtue, or moral goodness ? 4. Is it 20 possible that a doctrine, which tends to destroy all sense of virtue, or moral goodness, should be a doctrine that comes from God ? 5. Do we exalt the Creator by degrading the Creature? 6. What advantage then can we derive from a doctrine, which converts mankind into a mass of absolute and entire depravity ?' 25 'Chapter hi. Of Free Will ... 11. Is not the power of God equally manifested, whether He operates on man immediately as a mere passive object, or whether He acts mediately, through the agency of man himself, and by means, which, as Creator of all things, He must have previously imparted? 12. Is it necessary then to deny the agency of man, in order -20 to promote the Glory of God ': 13. Has not the doctrine, that man him- self has no share in the work of his own salvation, a tendency to make him indifferent in regard to his moral conduct? 14. Can a doctrine, which renders men indifferent with respect to their moral conduct, be a doctrine, that comes from God ?' 35 'Chapter vi. Of Predestination. 1. Does not the 17th article enu- merate various qualities, as belonging to those persons, who are predestined to eternal life ? 2. Is it not one of those qualities, that they walk reli- giously in good works? 3. Is not therefore the walking religiously in good works a criterion, by which they, who are predestined to eternal life, may 40 be distinguished from those, who are not so predestined ] 4. Does not our Saviour declare, that we shall be known by our works, as a tree is known by its fruit ? 5. Does not St. Peter declare, that we are elect, according to the foreknowledge of Goc), unto obedience? 6. la it not therefore a contradiction both to Scripture, and to the 1 7th article, to assert, that the 45 Decrees of God are absolute ; or that election, on the part of God, has no reference to foreseen good conduct on the part of Man ? 7. If we believe, that in respect to a future state, neither our good conduct can excite any reasonable hope, nor our bad conduct any reasonable fear, is there any thing beyond the dread of temporal punishment, to deter us from the com- 882 HERBERT MARSH. EXAMINATION mission of crimes ? 8. Is not the Law of God, which, when rightly under- stood, affords an additional sanction to the Law of Man, so perverted by such a belief, as to become the means of counteracting the law of Man ] 9. Is not such a belief injurious also to the individual, as well as to Society at large, by exciting ungrounded hopes in the confident hypocrite, 5 and driving modest virtue to despair? 10. Though the Creator is not accountable to the Creature, and His will alone determines, who shall be elected to eternal life, is it credible that a Being of infinite wisdom, justice, and goodness should elect on any other principles, than such as are consistent with those attributes? 11. And does not absolute or indiscriminate IO Election annul the distinctions of good and evil, of virtue and vice? 12. Is therefore such Election'possible on the part of a Being, who is infinitely wise, just, and good ? ' ' Chapter vii. Of Regeneration, or the Nev) Birth ... 7. Is not our New or Spiritual Birth, as well as our First or Natural Birth, an event, 1 5 which happens only once in our lives ? 8. If then we believe in the doctrine of our Church, that the New Birth takes place at Baptism, can we believe that they, who have been baptized according to the rites of that Church, will be regenerated at any other period V ' Chapter viii. Of Renovation ... 6. Do not even the best of men 20 require, during the whole course of their lives, the aid of the Holy Spirit, to secure them from the danger of sin ? 7. Is it not then presumption to suppose, that at any period of our lives, we can have become, either so perfect, or so secure, as to have no longer need of Renovation ? ' Sam. Parr to Lord Holland, June 11, 1822. (Works vii. 144 146): 2 5 ' I congratulate you upon your victory over the Bishop [of Peterborough] ; I know him deeply, and he has more than once smarted under my lash. You were right in charging him with an ignoratio elenchi, as the case stood before the House. Yet the Bishop has a right to examine, and the distinc- tion lies in this. In points of faith, the only rule is the thirty-nine articles ; 3 for the Prayer-book is a question of discipline. The Prayer-book is con- firmed by Parliament, and makes a part of the law ; it cannot be altered without Parliament. We subscribe it we consent to it we subscribe ex animo to the use of the Book of Common Prayer. But what does ex aninw mean ? My Lord, it means not any opinion, but consent to practical use 35 When joined to words of [or, as printed, is a clerical error] wishing, then it means readily, heartily Now if a candidate is forbidden to use his own interpretation, so a Bishop lies under the same interdict; but Marsh transgressed that interdict by his written questions, and therefore there was no force in his plea, that the questions arose out of the articles. The Bishop 4 requires subscription, and the candidate subscribes, according to the sensus popularis. And both must be content with general declaration Marsh says, "I have a right to examine candidates after their faith;" true, but the exercise of that right is limited he is to be satisfied with their faith as it is manifested by the mere act of subscription. Well, have you no other 45 right to examine ? Yes. What is the right ? It is to examine the pro- ficiency of the candidate in learning. Here his power is considerable My Lord, if Marsh be right, all other Bishops are wrong by neglecting their duty. I shall like to have my books at hand, and to converse two or QUESTIONS. SAMUEL PARR. 883 three mornings with you and Lord John Russell. Marsh will persevere, but change his form ; I know that the Bishops are not pleased with him, though in all probability they will vote for him. Their silence was properly noticed in your House. I wish Lord Eldon to be chastised You will 5 have again to contend with Marsh pray collect matter. I am no bigot ; but I do firmly maintain, that the result of arguing in your Lordship will be creditable to the Church indeed it will, and that too amidst a great diversity of opinion every circumstance will bear hard upon Marsh. You may eulogize Marsh's acuteness as a polemic, but you should not be so pro- I O f use in your praises upon his learning. I hear that he, from his officiousness and querulousness, is on bad terms with his Clergy ; they will rejoice at his disgrace.' Same to same, Hatton, June 14, 1822 (ibid. 148 150): 'I agree with your Lordship in resisting entirely the principle of a right to examine can- 1 5 didates by the test of any interpretation which any individual Bishop may be pleased to put on the meaning of the thirty-nine articles But you must not, without some qualifications, oppose the right of a Bishop to ex- amine a candidate. The question is to what extent and upon what points the examination is to go. I maintain that it goes to the learning of the 20 candidate, when he comes for ordination; and we must all along suppose that no complaint lies against his moral character The faith of the can- didate is to be ascertained by a certificate from three clergymen, that to the best of their belief he has neither taught nor holden any opinion which im- pugns the doctrine or discipline of the Established Church ; by the candi- 2 5 date's own subscription to the thirty- nine articles; and by the declaration of his consent, ex animo, to use the Liturgy as fixed by the law. Beyond these three points no Bishop has any concern with the faith of a candidate If a candidate betrays great inattention to the most common points of theology, great ignorance of the Greek Testament, great incapacity to 30 express his thoughts in Latin or English, then the want of learning will authorize the Bishop to reject him. Again, the Bishop may choose some subject connected or unconnected with the Articles, and command the can- didate to write upon it. If the candidate should write absurdly, or very ungrammatically, the Bishop may reject him ; if he writes very ingeniously 35 and very correctly, and at the same time manifests a deliberate intention to impugn the doctrine or discipline of the Church of England, then the Bishop may well say, that the unsoundness of his faith is not expiated by his erudition The conduct of the Bishop of Peterborough is a gross and illegal innovation.' 40 Same to same, 14 Febr. 1823 (ibid. 158): 'It is worth your Lordship's while to buy a Charge delivered by Magee, now Archbishop of Dublin, to the Clergy of Raphoe. He is very superior to Marsh in acuteness, vigour, and eloquence; and in page 31 of that Charge he stoutly maintains opinions which are opposite to those of Marsh upon the rights of individual Bishops 45 to interpret the Articles their own way. The authority of Magee is de- servedly great ; and in the House of Lords his words might be quoted with great advantage by any assailant of Marsh.' Parr's dislike to Marsh may have been partly due to political differ- ences ; but was certainly exasperated by personal feeling. In 181 7 Parr 884 HERBERT MARSH.

In which is given a correct account of the causes which have called forth the violent and abusive pamphlets against the bishop of Peter- borough, (Lc.dx. London: printed for F.C. and J. Rivington, St. Paul's Church-yard, and Waterloo-place, Pall-Mail. 1822. 8vo. pp. 28. 1 5 Pp. 2, 3 : ' Before the author of the following sheets proceeds to develope the real causes which have induced Mr. Grimshawe . . to labour ... to rouse some inconsiderate men to again attack by the imposing means of a petition to the Senate one of the firmest pillars of the Church, it becomes him solemnly to affirm, that if in his belief there existed the least leaning 20 in the Bishop of Peterborough towards oppression, the least wish to impose a galling yoke on the Clergy, or even a prejudiced or narrow view of the sec- tarians and their tenets, he would be among the first to raise his voice against that or any other Prelate. But it is under the firm conviction that the whole proceedings have been dictated by a party smarting under detection, 25 disappointment, and a species of opposition as just as it is undisguised and powerful, . . . which has led the writer of the ensuing pages to take up the peu of controversy.' Pp. 4, 5 : Simeon's fund for the purchase of advowsons: 'even in the University of Cambridge reside some of the most persevering Sectarians, 30 who not only inculcate their doctrines among the students, and have regular breakfasts and meetings to which they are invited, but are ever on the watch to forward the purchase of these smaller livings, . . and thus their sect is continually strengthened with temporal possessions.'

Tho questions no new standard. ' Nor lias Mr. Grimshawe any right to com- plain about the rejection which gave rise to his pamphlet. The writer of these sheets has been credibly informed, that the person whom Mr. Grim- 40 Rhawe wished to have for his curate, though he did not absolutely refuse to be examined, gave his answers in so confused and ambiguous a manner that it was impossible to determine what his doctrines really were.' Pp. 10, 11 : Bp. Marsh 'is liberal in all his views respecting Sectarians, and out of the many instances which have come to my knowledge, I will relate one. 45 During the excitation caused by the examination before the Peers into the conduct of the late Queen, a Clergyman of the Church who had been con- verted from Judaism, was so active and loud in his chivalrous expressions SYDNEY SMITH. 885 even from the pulpit, that the Rector of his Church in London no longer required his services. He procured a Curacy in the Diocese of Peter- borough, to which after some advice he was licensed. The conduct of the parties by whom he was appointed not being as liberal as it should have 5 been, the Prelate interfered, and by his authority settled the stipend he was entitled to receive.' Pp. n 19. The church of England excludes Calvinists. Pp. 19, 20.

Thurtell, whom he appointed curate, returned the ques- tions ' with very strange answers, and with them, as an Appendix, three closely -written folio sheets filled up with confused dissertations and reserva- 15 tions, and so replete with restrictions, that it was impossible to discover what the opinions of Mr Thurtell were.' The bp. returned the questions, requesting plain answers. Thurtell replied that 'he could not give direct and positive answers. Therefore he was refused a licence.' P. 25 : ' Whenever erroneous replies have been returned, . . Bishop 20 Marsh has in every instance tried by argument and expostulation to con- vince the candidate of his errors, and always with that success, (excepting in the two instances before alluded to), which attends ability, learning, and kindness of heart.'

On the article in the Nov. number, in which Marsh had been called ' bitter, bustling, tormenting ;' in reply to Smith's charge of novelty (p. 28) : ' Could you possibly be ignorant that at the time when this mode of enquiry was adopted by his lordship, a string of questions was already handed about 35 amongst young men preparing for the ministry, the tendency of some of which, with reverence be it spoken, was ill-calculated to promote sober piety and judicious ministration ? The only come-at-a'de specimen of doctri- nal examination previous to the dispersion of his lordship's questions when bishop of Llandaff, was one too likely to mislead.' 40 In fact Smith had spoken (Edinb. Rev. xxvn. 433) of Marsh with courtesy rare in that journal. ' We shall acquit the Bishop of all wrong intentions. He has a very bad opinion of the practical effects of high Calvinistic doctrines upon the common people ; and he thinks it his duty to exclude those clergymen who profess them from his diocese. There is no 45 moral wrong in this We have no sort of intention to avail ourselves of an anonymous publication to say unkind, uncivil, or disrespectful things to a man of rank learning and character.' P. 434 : No one bishop defended Marsh in the house. ' His Lordship states, that forty years ago, he was himself examined by written interrogatories, and that he is not the only 886 HERBERT MARSH. SYDNEY SMITH. Bishop who has done it ; but he mentions no names ; and it was hardly worth while to state such extremely slight precedents for so strong a devia- tion from the common practice of the Church. . . . 'The Bishop of Glocester ordains a young man of twenty-three years of age, not thinking it necessary to put to him these interrogatories, or putting 5 them perhaps, and approving of answers diametrically opposite to those that are required by the Bishop of Peterborough. The young clergyman then comes to the last-mentioned Bishop ; and the Bishop, after putting him to the Question, says, ' You are unfit for a clergyman,' though, ten days before, the Bishop of Glocester has made him one !' IO Pp. 437, 438 : ' The Bishop not only puts the questions, but he actually assigns the limits within which they are to be answered. Spaces are left in the paper of interrogations, to which limits the answer is to be confined ; two inches to original sin ; an inch and a half to justification ; three-quarters to predestination ; and to free-will only a quarter of an inch. But if his 1 5 Lordship gives them an inch, they will take an ell. His Lordship is him- self a theological writer, and by no means remarkable for his conciseness. To deny space to his brother theologians, who are writing on the most difficult subjects, not from choice, but necessity; not for fame, but for bread ; and to award rejection as the penalty of prolixity, does appear to us 2 no slight deviation from Christian gentleness. The tyranny of calling for such short answers is very strikingly pointed out in a letter from Mr. Thurtell to the Bishop. . . . " Beccles Aug. 28, 1821. . . . But it appears to me, that the Questions proposed to me by your Lordship are so constructed as to elicit only two sets of opinions; and that by answering them in so concise a 2 5 manner, I should be representing myself to your Lordship as one who believes in either of two particular creeds, to neither of which I do realhj subscribe. ... I deem it indispensable to my acting with that candour and truth with which it is my wish and duty to act, ... to state my opinions in that language which expresses them most fully, plainly, and unreservedly. 3 This I have endeavoured to do in the answers now in the possession of your Lordship. . . I would humbly and respectfully appeal to your Lordship's candour, whether it is not hard to demand my decided opinion upon points which have been the themes of volumes; upon which the most pious and learned men of the Church have conscientiously differed ; and upon which 35 the Articles, in the judgement of Bishop Burnet, have pronounced no definite sentence. " ' P. 441 : ' The Bishop. ..is so thoroughly convinced of the pernicious effects of Calvinistic doctrines, that he does what no other Bishop does, or ever did do, for their exclusion. This may l>e either wise or injudicious, 4 but it is at least zealous and bold ; it is to encounter rebuke and opposition from a sense of duty. It is impossible to deny this merit to his Lordship.' P. 442 : ' His Lordship boasts, that he has excluded only two curates. Ho the Emperor of Hayti boasted that lie had only cut off two persons' heads for disagreeable behaviour at his table. In spite of the paucity of the 45 visitors executed, the example operated as a considerable impediment to conversation. . . How many persons have been deprived of curacies which they might have enjoyed, but for the tenor of these interrogatories ?' P. 447 : 'The Bishop complains of the insolence of the answers made to HENRY WALTER (1823). 887 him. This is certainly not true of Mr. Grimshawe, Mr. Nevile, or of the Author of the Appeal. They have answered his Lordship with great force, great manliness, but with perfect respect.' The whole article is as remarkable for wisdom as for wit. 5 A defence of the established church, from the categories in the tail of the neic comet, called the ' Council of Ten,'' that has arisen upon the land ; from the i , 7 : ' Another book which it distributes is the Book of Common Prayer. As the importance which wo attach to this Book has been much 45 misunderstood, and on this misunderstanding objections have been founded to the distribution of it with the Bible, I will quote an authority, which on this subject must have greater weight than any argument which I myself can advance. The pious and amiable Prelate [Henry Ryder], who lately presided over the see of Gloucester, and now presides over that of Lichfield 582 89-4 MARSH. S. P. C. K. SERMON (1825). and Coventry, speaking of our Liturgy, in his Sermon before our sister Society, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, described it in the following terms: our Liturgy, he said, is "the most faithful transcript, and the most worthy companion of the Bible." These are the words of that pious Prelate ; and they are so much the more deserv- - ing of our notice, as attempts have been made even by those who revere him, to represent our Liturgy, not as the most worthy companion, as he himself has termed it, but as being an unfit companion for the Bible. It is not indeed a companion which claims equality with its matter: it claims no authority on its own account; it claims not:. ing more than that which it iq derives from the Bible. . . . The Church of England admits that the Bible and the Bible only is the religion of the Protestant, that the Bible is the sole authority for Christian doctrine. But it does not therefore follow, that Churchmen, in the distribution of the Bible, should abstain from the distribution of the Prayer Book. . . . The argument, by which our Bible \i and Prayer Book are brought into a comparison with Scripture and Tradi- tion in the Church of Rome, originates in a total mistake with regard to the things compared. The Tradition of the Church of Rome is distinct from the Bible, independent of the Bible, and of equal authority with the Bible.' 20 Pp. 8, 9: 'But however worthy the Liturgy may be of becoming a companion to the Bible, no man ever meant that they should be made inse- parable companions. To act on this principle would be absurd even in our intercourse with Churchmen, whose spiritual wants must depend on what they already possess. . . . Still less can it be supposed, that we would make 25 our Liturgy an inseparable companion of the Bible among those who object to our Liturgy. We should then concur iu the sole distribution of the Book, which all Protestants regard as the Rule of Faith. Our District Committee is open alike to Churchmen and Dissenters.' In these pages we hear the echo of the controversy of 181 1 13. 30 Religious Tracts. Welsh, Manx and Irish Bibles. Family Bible. Cal- cutta Mission college. Indian schools.

They have been accused of a desire to exclude their Roman Catholic Brethren from civil offices merely on account of their reli- gion. . . . We admit, that speculative opinions, which have no tendency to disturb the welfare of the State, are unfit subjects for the interference of the State.' Pp. 8, 9 : 'I ask then, whether it can be proved, that the J 5 doctrine of Transubstantiation, or the Invocation of Saints, have no influ- ence on the actions of those who believe in those doctrines . . . They who maintain those speculative doctrines, maintain also the practical doctrine of obedience to the Pope. . . . The Roman Catholics therefore are excluded, not because they believe in the doctrine of Transubstantiation, but because they 20 who believe in that doctrine, believe also, that a foreign potentate hath and ought to have jurisdiction in the dominions of his Majesty King George. Put if they are not excluded on account of their religious opinions, why, it may be asked, should recourse be had to a religious test ? The answer ia this : A religious test being founded on articles of faith, is less easily evaded 2 5 than a political test.' Pj). 9, 10: 'They, who have opposed the Roman Catholic claims, .... have been charged with bigotry and intolerance. ... If it were now a ques- tion, whether any body of Christians in this country should be restrained in the exercise of their religious worship, or the propagation of their religious 30 opinions, and the Clergy of the Established Church came forward, as the advocates of such restraints, they might be justly charged with intolerance. ....

Eivington, St. Paul's churchyard, and Waterloo-place, Pall- Mali. 1 83 1. 8vo. pp. 28. Dedication to the clergy dated August 6, 1831. P. 7 : 'If we except the perioil, which preceded its [the church's] over- throw in the time of Charles I., there never was a time when the clergy 20 were assailed with so much calumny and so much violence, as they are at present. Their moral characters are wantonly and maliciously traduced ; they are represented as culpably remiss in the discharge of their sacred functions ; as slumbering away their time in unmerited affluence ; and hence the application of Church property to other uses is frequently 7 re- 25 presented as a measure, which would benefit the nation at large.' P. 9 : ' There cannot be a stronger proof that the clergy in general are duly attentive to their moral conduct, than the fact, that whenever an immoral act can be discovered in a clergyman, he is visited with unusual reprehension.' 30 Pp. 9, 10 : 'I proceed to the next accusation, that they [the clergy] are inattentive to their clerical duties.. ..Let the accusers learn the truth by experience : let them observe the conduct of the parochial clergy in their respective parishes, visiting the sick, comforting the distressed, and relieving the necessities of the poor from their own frequently contracted means. 35 Nor is it to their own parishes that their benevolence is confined. Every list of subscrilnjrs to any charitable institution contains the names of so many clergymen, that their adversaries would render no service to the poor by taking from the clergy the means of contribution. Is it meant that they are regardless of their duty in the performance of divine service, that 40 the prayers of the Church are read without proper devotion, that their sermons are delivered with negligence, and arc ill calculated to impress on their hearers the necessity of a virtuous anil religious life, let the accusers frequent our churches, . . . and they will there find a refutation of their unjust complaints. Lastly, is it meant that divine service is performed 45 hss frequently than it ought to be, the complaint does not apply to the present period. So great an improvement has taken place in this respect, that whatever cause of discontent may have existed formerly, such cause has l>een principally removed.

They are no more taxes than rents are taxes : they are dues to the clergy, as rents are dues 25 to the landlord.' Pp. 23, 24: 'It is further objected, that if tithes are due, they are not employed as they ought to be. Instead of being solely applied to the maintenance of the clergy, our modern Church reformers contend that they should be applied also to the maintenance of the poor, and the repairs of the Church. Now as more than two-fifths of the bene- 3 ficed clergy in this kingdom have an income which hardly averages 100 a year, it is really ludicrous to contend, that out of their own pittance, they should maintain the poor of their respective parishes, the population of which bears, not unfrequently, an inverse ratio to the value of the living. But it is a mere j)rctence that benefices were endowed for the support of 35 the poor: they were endowed for the support of the clergy, in return for the spiritual benefits conferred on their respective parishes.' Poor-rates became necessary after the plunder of the religious houses, which used to provide for the poor. Pp. 24, 25. Lay patrons and impropriators would suffer from the abolition of tithes. Pp. 25, 26. Tithe-payers would not 40 gain. P. 27 : 'I shall not be subjected to the reproach of shewing more regard for the temporal than for the spiritual concerns of the Church. I regard the former only as the means of promoting the latter : and I can appeal to the extensive correspondence which I have had with the clergy of this diocese, [to prove] that a regard for the spiritual welfare of their flocks 45 has been an object of my especial attention.'

His predecessor James Atcherley died at Bridgenorth 3 Mar. 1804 (Gent. May. 1804, p. 381). He married on Tuesday 4 Sept. 1 798, at Gt. St Andrew's Cambridge, Harriet, 5th daughter of Dr. East Apthorp (Camb. Chron. 8 Sept. 1798; 5 Gent. Mag. lxviii. 1148a; Nichols, Lit. Anccd. in. 97). In 1802 he was presented to the vicarage of Kenilworth {Camhr. Chron. 13 Nov. 1802): collated to the prebend of Wolvey in Lichfield cathedral 15 May 1807 (Cambr. Chron. 6 June 1807); his successor, Wm. Gresley, was collated 27 Nov. 1840 (Hardy's Le Neve 1. 642). Collated to the arch- IO deaconry of Derby 24 Feb. 182 1 ; his successor, Francis Hodgson, was col- lated 9 Sept. 1836 (ibid. 578). Nominated by lord Melbourne bp. of Lich- field, consecrated 3 July 1836 (ibid. 560), at Lambeth (Stubbs 128). By order in council 22 Dec. 1836 the archdeaconry of Coventry was transferred to Worcester diocese, and the title of the see of Lichfield and Coventry 15 changed to Lichfield (Hardy ibid. 537). 'In discharging the duties [of an archdeacon] his zeal, diligence, and faithfulness were universally acknowledged' (Gent. Mar/.). 'Upon his resigning Shrewsbury school, his former pupils raised by subscription a sum of 700 or Soo, wherewith a handsome present of plate was made to him; 20 Dr. Kennedy (his successor at Shrewsbury) and others forming a deputation to present it ; which was done at Eccleshall castle ' (Charles Yate). ' From that time [of his consecration] he had incessant bad health, with much suffering. He was however singularly attentive to the discharge of his episcopal duties; seldom employing a secretary, unless obliged. During 25 the short time that I remained, as curate, in his diocese, having occasion to correspond with him, his letters were always written by his own hand.... Bishop Butler was undoubtedly a man of most distinguished talent; and from my own connexion with the county of Salop (my brothers were some of them his pupils) I can testify that he was much respected in the county 30 generally, tho' considered to be a high and proud man. His ill health stood in the way of his acquiring with his clergy the same affectionate esteem as his predecessor in his see; but with them he was held in hi^h respect' (Charles Yate). The biographer in the Gent. May., in words ascribed by the Salopian 35 Journal, 11 Dec. 1839 (cited by Mr. Yate), to 'one that has deeply entered into our late revered diocesan's feelings, and had opportunity of witnessing the closing scenes of his mortal career,' says : ' We have to lament the loss of a man of varied acquirements, playful wit. profound learning, unbending integrity, and sound religion ; all accompanied by a benevolence of heart, a 40 candour of mind, and simplicity of manner, that were the graces and adorn- ments of his whole nature. He was not a mere man of talent, but the impress of genius, "the light from heaven," was upon him. Thus, nothing in him was dry and formal, but living and vigorous. His talk on the languages, upon the knowledge of which his fame so greatly rested, was 45 n t that of one only well skilled in certain critical details and nice gramma- tical distinctions; but of one who saw into the life and power of the thing, and knew the mind that animated the whole body. So also when he spoke of history, he seemed, like the prophet of that great bard in whose noble songs he delighted, to see things past, present, and to come. He 900 BUTLER. HIS CHARACTER, DEATH, LIBRARY. appeared to have lived among the great characters and events of antiquity. He would bring them down, and put them before his hearer, and con- nect them with present times; then "flying forward to the future, and com- paring one with the other, give a verdict well nigh prophetical." He was liberal in his politics, and most charitable in his religion. He truly vene- 5 rated the constitution of his country, and deeply loved that church in whose high places he ruled with an honest and true heart, and, amid sick- ness, and pain, and suffering, served her faithfully with all his power. His career had been one of almost unbroken success. In the university he bore away the highest classical honours from the hands of most distinguished IO competitors. Placed, when he had scarcely reached manhood, at the head of the Shrewsbury school, he raised it from the lowest grade of depression to the highest pitch of distinction ; sending forth from her venerable walls an intellectual progeny, who have filled both universities with his and their fame. Laden with the honours flowing in upon him, as the fruit of 1 5 thirty-eight years' successful labour, he was raised, in 1836, to the episco- pate. From that moment to his death he knew no day of health, scarcely an hour free from suffering. Yet this has been the noblest part of his life ; for his patient uncomplaining submission to the hand of God has been an example to all around him; and his indefatigable attention, ''to his power, 20 and beyond his power," to the great trust committed to him, combined with the mildness of his manner and the fatherliness of his conduct, has gained ahold upon the respect and affection of his clergy, which no common man, amid such seclusion as his has necessarily been, could possibly have acquired.' 2 5 He died about one o'clock on Wednesday morning 4 Dec. 1839 at Eecles- hall (Cambr. Chron. 7 Dec). He desired that his funeral should be private, but at the request of the people of .Shrewsbury it was conducted with great state; the shops being all closed, muffled peals rung, and the day observed as one of general mourning (Gent. May.; Salopian Journal and Shrewsbury 3 Chron. cited by C. Yate). Funeral sermons were published on him preached 1. in Eccleshall church 3 Sunday in Advent 1839 by Henry Moore, M.A. vicar; 2. by archd. Bather, at St Mary's, Shrewsbury, on Sunday 15 Dec. 1839; who says that the basis of his character was 'simplicity and integrity, and love of 35 truth, and plain-dealing 1 (Chakles Yatk). A statue by Bailey was erected by subscription, and placed in St. Mary's Shrewsbury (Caw'')'. Chron. 26 Apr. 1845). The first and second (Aldine) parts of his library were sold by auction in 1840; the catalogue of the third part was printed, but not published, in 4 1N41 ; the early printed bonks being bought by Messrs. Payne and Foss, the MSS. by the British Museum. The three parts of the catalogue are in the Bodleian. A full... collation of about twenty Greek manuscripts of the holy Gospels... by P. II.

In my bo)hood I often saw and heard archdeacon Bather, a man of primitive honesty and plainness, admirable as a preacher and still more as a catechiser. I was told that, after an interview with the new bishop, he re-assured a gathering of ' Evangelical' clergy, dismayed by the elevation of one whom they regarded as their enemy. I know that 10 bishop Butler was much respected by that party in the church, when he had time to make himself known. The bishop's son Thomas, of St John's college, B.A. 1829, M.A. 1832, was appointed rector of Langar, Notts, in 1834; and sent up to the college a son Samuel, who in 1863 published A first year in Canterbury -settlement. 15 London, Longman. Svo. pp. 162. The bishop's second daughter, Harriet, married John Thomas Lloyd Esq., of Shrewsbury, who left her a widow. There is an account of him in the Annual Biography for 1827, p. 464. Their eldest son, Thomas Buck- nail Lloyd, of St John's, B.A. 1S46, M.A. 1849, is incumbent of St Mary's, 20 Shrewsbury. 'No husband and parent could be happier in his family than the bishop of Lichfield ; and his declining years were cheered, cherished, and sustained, under the divine mercy, by the most unremitting attentions of filial love and duty ' (Gent. Mag.). 25 Mural table in S. Nicholas (the old) church, Kenihvorth, on the N. side of chancel arch : ' Near the pulpit are interred the remains of Mr. William Butler and Lucy his wife; the former of whom departed this life 3 March 21, 1815, in his 87th year [Cf.

Samuel Butler, afterwards lord bishop of Lichfield, died December 4, 1839, and is buried at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury.' 45 There are other memorials of the Butlers in the church; one of the family, lately deceased, was agent to Lord Clarendon, and resided at Kenil- worth.

Preface. 'In my office of examining chaplain I was, of course, called upon to address the candidates in the usual sermon at ordinations. 10 Such occasions, alas ! soon ceased. I had however found much benefit to myself in drawing upon my own experience for the subject-matter of those addresses, and therefore continued, at intervals of leisure, to register ita results, and record my impressions. ...Such a work may not be without its use to others also; I have therefore digested it into regular form, and pub- 1 5 lished it, with the additional view of offering some public tribute, such as I was able, and under such form as seemed most appropriate, to the memory of the lamented prelate whom it was my privilege to serve. It will declare my will, if not my power, to be found in some way eKTtvww Ka\ds rpocpds to the instructor of my youth, and the kind friend of all my 2 life. I am even bold to think that it may, as every monument should, reflect here and there the likeness of his mind. In any thing which shall be worthy of the dedication of the work, it assuredly will. For who of those, who are enjoying the fruits of his instruction, are not continually reminded of the seed which he sowed in their minds, by means of informa- 25 tion conveyed through his deep learning in large store, made interesting by the form in which his exquisite taste presented it, and obvious by the accommodating powers of his clear and vigorous conception? Who of us, who have drawn from his pure fountain, are not conscious of its fertilizing stream in every field of mind, upon the proper cultivation of which we can 30 at all congratulate ourselves? And who of us can forget those admirable endowments, any more than we can that high tone of feeling, that kind, parental regard, that openness and candour of mind, which marked all hia communication with us? When he entered upon his high and sacred office in the Church of God, all who knew him not were surprised to see how he 35 rose at once up to the standard of its rare requirements ; while all who knew him were delighted to see proper room and scope afforded to the vigour and largeness of his mind. A bodily affliction, with which the Lord was pleased to visit him, soon after his consecration, only made his spiritual vigour more remarkable. Its asthmatic symptoms were peculiarly distress- 40 ing to one who had so much to do with public delivery and crowded assemblies; yet he persevered, with undaunted spirit, to the very last remnant of his strength. Not only was the business of his diocese regularly transacted within doors, and his palace open, with hospitable reception, to his Clergy, until within a few days of his death, but long after a common 45 regard for the ease of hia suffering body would have counselled him to remain at home, he appeared at his post in public. He presided at meet- ings where every person present had been in almost daily expectation of hearing of his death. He traversed the wild moors of Derbyshire when every one that saw him wondered that he should have quitted a sick chain- 5 EDITION OF MUSUIIUS. 903 ber. Truly he approved himself a good soldier of Jesus Christ. He en- dured hardness, and he may be said to have died upon the field of battle. 'May this work be found not altogether unworthy of his name, the auspices of which it employs, or of his school, in which the writer's powers 5 were formed. ' Dr Rob. Scott, Quarterly Rev. Sept. 1842 (lxx. 315): 'Bishop Butler of Lichfield has gone to his rest, after such severe and protracted sufferings as would have paralysed a less energetic mind. He has gone, full of labours and of honours, though not of years, ^nd yet it is to be feared that he has IO gone with much of his merit unappreciated. If, however, it be reasonable to suppose that the education of the higher classes, and in particular of the clergy, is at least as important as that of the poor, and if the silent but most practical reformation which has been at work in our public schools for many years past ever attracts the notice which it deserves, then the time 15 will come when men will feel an interest in tracing the steps of the im- provement ; and they will hardly fail to give honour due to that scholar who first set the example in remodelling our public education, and gave a stimulus which is now acting on almost all the public schools in the country. [Foot note. 'It fall's to our lot to speak of him only as the head of an im- 20 portant school: for his higher praise we must refer to his worthy pupil, chaplain, and friend, the Rev. R. W. Evans, in the preface to his Bishopric of Souls, a truly precious manual for the young clergyman.'] M. Musuri carmen in Platonem. Isaaci Casauboni in Joscphum Scaliger- um ode.

Itaque hoc meum quale quale sit ingenium, ita demum praemiis, ita laudibus excitavit suis, ut spem aliquam de me ipse animo conceperim, fore, ut aliquando in eorum numerum concedam qui de studiis humanioribus conantur bene inereri. Sed prius tamen quam gra- IO vioris argumenti opus susciperem, vires meas experiri, ac levi velut con- gressu praetentare volui. Id igitur mihi in hoc opere consilii fuit, quod si aequis eruditi auribus atque animis ferant, maiora aggredienti aliquam sane fiduciam dabunt. His ego de causis eorum mihi veniam impertiri posse haud despero, qui iuveuum labores parum laeta fronte accipiunt. Praecipue 1 5 si hoc eos iterum ego atque iterum admonitos esse ve'im, non me cuiusvis imitatorem aut aemulum venisse.' Butler had printed the text of Musurus and most of his notes before he met with John Foster's book on Greek accents, which contains the same poem: 'Quem quidem libellum utinam prius inspexissem, habet enini argumentum Musuri carmini praemissum, 2 quod ipse libenter edidissem, multaque turn in notis turn in ipso voluininis contextu sparsim leguntur, quae huic carmini illustrando inserviunt. Cete- rum nostra hac editione prope iam absoluta, una tantummodo in notula licebat mihi Fosteri labores ad meum ipsius commodum convertere'. . . . 'Amicorum deinde admonitu nostrae quaedam exercitationes accedunt. 2 5 De his ego sententiam ferre non audeo, id unum adiecerim, non mediocris doctrinae hominibus, ultra quod sperarem, eas placuisse. Vereor tamen quae sit de iis, in universum aestimanti, doctorum hominum opinio, nee plus mihi polliceri audeo, quam ut ex Musuri et Casauboni gloria quaedam vel mihi etiam laudis portiuncula possit contingere. Ode prior Graeca, et 3 Latina, ex earum numero sunt, quae praemiis Academicis sunt diguatae.

To the Greek address in which Henry Stephens recommends the study of the Greek Testament, ho adds a Latin version.

Butler's own pieces in the volume are two Greek odes (sapphic), 'Praestarj- I O tia Graecae poeseos' (Browne's medal); and 'Britanniae gloria navalis ;' two Latin odes, 'Astronomiae laus' (Browne's medal); 'Celebratur pax et mercuratura ;' a Greek epigram, ' Rari quippe boni;' translation into Greek hexameters of Garrick's ' Thou soft flowing Avon ;' into Latin elegiacs of Beattie's 'Hermit,' and of Milton's sonnet 7; the last gives Butler's age. 15 'Dies natalis. III. Cal. Febr. 1797. Quam celeri pede lapsa dies mihi nuntiat annos iam tres exactos bis superesse decern ;' i.e. he was born 30 Jan. 1774. The verses have merit, but contain pentameter lines ending with words of three and four syllables ; ' Eheu et praecipites in sua danma rapit ' is in- tended for a pentameter; a vowel is made short before sp ; words of no 20 authority occur here and there. In the odes we find such lines as ' aetheriae, omina fausta, flannnae;' 'caeca timet aliunde fata.' The 'oratio habita in scholis publicis vi. Id. Mart, mdccxcvi. utrum Indus animo debeat aliquando dari,' spoken by Butler as senior medallist, contains some excellent advice as to the mode of study. The tone may be gathered 25 from a line or two (pp. 73, 74): 'Quis, inquam, e vobis, omisso illo in quo unusquisque laudem meruistis, praeclarissimo scientiae civrriculo, ludo, si Diis placet, indulgere, cursumque eum, qui quo concitatior eo praestantior habetur, reinittere, animam induceret; ac non oderit hanc parvae mentis innrmitatem, in qua, e nobilissimo virtutis certamine revocatus, iubeatur 30 acquiescere ? At enim severioribus, ut aiunt, studiis oppressum animum recreare aliquando oportet atque refieere. Apage aniles istas ineptias, quas decantare solent ii, quibus in deliciis est bene curata cute pinyues vivere, et nimium corpori tribuentes, animi rationem habere plane nullam.

There is a learned review (by Charles Burney, who cites it as his own in 40 his Ten t am en, Suppl. p. Si) of this tract in the Monthly Rev. Jan. 1798, pp. 1 28. P. 1: 'When Mr. Butler had one." seen Foster's edition of this poem, with his prose translation, it appears surprising that he did not reprint that editor's notes, and those of Jeremiah Mark land, ...together with the remarks on Muslims, which are to lie found in Dorville's commentary 45 on Chariton.'

BUKNEY's REVIEW. that good fruit will, in due course of time, appear We must, however, in consequence of perusing these Greek and Latin odes, beg leave to suggest two metrical canons, which demand Mr. Butler's serious attention ; as well as the observation of all future writers of Greek or Latin sapphics and Latin alcaics.' In pp. 3 14 metrical rules are laid down, and illustrated by s examples. Pp. 15 17 are on the shorter poems. Pp. 17 23. 'The Hymn of Cleanthes...Mr. Butler, we think, has again been unfortunate in his selection. This Hymn has lately been printed too frequently for a mere republication to be thought necessary... As Mr. Butler, therefore, has not consulted all the printed copies of this Hymn, and has 10 not given any Var'tae Lectiones : as Brunck has preserved a complete silence with respect to his corrections ; and as Heeren is far from accurate in bis notes on Stobaeus ; we have been tempted to take the trouble of collecting, from the margin of our copy of Brunch's A nalecta. ..an enumeration of the editions of Cleanthes, with a list of the various readings, whether trifling or 1 5 important.' It is strange that Gaisford takes no notice of this article of Burney's. P. 23 contains a list of Butler's variations from the text of Mosheim's excursus. P. 24: 'This annunciation of a new Aeschylus urged us to review Mr. Butler's publication with more than common care, and to examine it in all 2 its parts with a nicer accuracy, than so small a publication can often expect. He will excuse us therefore, if we have appeared too scrutinizing and mi- nute : for he may be assured that our observations have been produced merely with a view of quickening his spirit, and invigorating his diligence, in the great undertaking in which he is engaged. Let him not shrink from 25 the toilsome duty of collation; nor let him slacken his attention when he is transcribing the labours of others. Let hiin exert the utmost accuracy, when he is tracing conjectures to their genuine authors ; and let him guard his mind against torpor and inactivity, when his invention is demanded to restore, or his judgement is summoned to decide. Mr. Butler must also 3 permit us to recommend to him as models for his emulation, in the style of his own notes, Thomas Tviuvuitt and David Kuhnkenius As to the notes of other commentators, we should be glad to see them collected into a sort of Corpus Aeschyleum, and placed at the end of the work, nearly in the same manner as Ituhnken has published the XotaE Variorum, at 35 the end of his edition of Ycllcius Pattrculus. As to collations, we would advise Mr. Butler to submit to the task of examining for himself all the editions that preceded Stanley The proper place for them [Variac Lcc- tiones] is between the text and Rcholia. ' Wesseling's Herodotus and Dio- dorus models of arrangement. 40 P. 25 : ' Wo cannot omit also to recommend the metrical arrangement of the choral Odes in Aeschylus very particularly to the profound attention of Mr. Butler.' Pp. 25 28 gives a new arrangement of the last chorus of the Supplied. In a notice of Butler's Aeschylus {Classical Journ. I. 16 36) it is Raid 45 that Butler in his preface to Musurus 'meant to convey the idea of a judi- cious selection from the writings of critics subsequent to the times of Stanley, and such additional information, as his own erudition and sagacity might supply. This plan, had it been steadily kej t in view, ...would doubtless sermons 1800-3. 907 have contributed to raise in the minds of scholars a higher opinion of Mr. Butler's editorial talents, than can be expected from the mode now adopted. We are not ignorant that the change in favour of the present more exten- sive arrangements was influenced possibly by the suggestions of perhaps the 5 first Greek scholar this country can boast' (/. e. Chas. Burney, as above). Two other criticisms on Butler's compositions may here find a place. In a review of the Musae Cantahrigienses in the Quarterly for Nov. 1810 (iv. 3S6, 387): The fourth ode 'is written by Mr. Butler, the author of the recent edition of /Eschylus. Like most of the others, it is composed with 10 no very strict attention to those rules which are most necessary to be ob- served : it has some inharmonious verses, and the divisions of the lines, which we insisted upon above, are not accurately marked; but it is superior in real excellence to many, and inferior to few, of the other odes. The adoption of technical terms is its greatest blemish This fault however 1 5 is confined to five or six stanzas; but considerable spirit and strength of thought are diffused through the whole.' Quarterly Rev. for March 1842 (lxix. 442): 'verses (certainly among the very best in the volume [the Arundincs Cami]) by that excellent scholar, the late Bishop of Lichfield, Dr. Butler;' pp. 444, 445 : 'There are two 20 short pieces of Dr. Butler's, with the exception of one word, excellent, com- bining the ease of original composition with close faithfulness of translation. ....We shall presently find some of the cleverest of the comic verses bearing the same signature.'

In the preliminary preface 'lecturis' Butler states that he has printed various readings collected by bp. John Pearson, and collations by Askew, 5 Stanley's own large additions (Cambr. univ. libr. Gg. III. 7 14) to his com- mentary, the readings of every edition except Bothe's, the entire notes of all commentators before Stanley, select notes of all subsequent editors, omit- ting the merely polemical portions of the notes of Heath and Pauw, with various communications from 'the modern Tacitus,' Johann Miiller. 10 The Literary Memoirs of Living Authors, 1798, 1. 86, gravely tells us: 'We understand that the impression is to be presented to him as an establishment in life, upon his marriage.' The same work was also issued in Svo., each 4to. volume forming 1 vols. 8vo. It was very ably reviewed by C. J. Blomfield in the Edinburgh for 15 Oct. iSoQandJan. 1810. Ed. Rev. XV. 153 : 'It must always be a subject cf regret to us, that an opportunity of discovering and consulting these manuscripts was dtnied to a man so eminently qualified for the undertaking as the late lameuted Professor Porson. In consequence of his refusal to undertake the republi- 20 cation of iEschylus, under the restrictions which the University of Cambridge thought proper to impose on the editor, the task, and an arduous one it was, was devolved upon Mr. Butler. We are at a loss to conceive the reasons which could have induced the Syndics of the Cambridge press to insist upon a literal reprint of the corrupt text of Stanley's edition, when 25 so many unquestionable corrections had been made by later critics, and when they were themselves in possession of many subsidia of which no editor had hitherto availed himself. Mr. Butler has had access to the MS. notes of Scaliger, Casaubon, and Stanley; as well as the collations of nine MSS. made partly by the late Dr. Askew, and partly by some of his learned 50 correspondents on the Continent.' P. 154: 'The celebrated historian Miiller, whatever may have been his merits in other respects, was certainly but little qualified to comment upon zEschylus. We speak this however with deference to Mr. Butler, who, to use his own expression, "adores from afar the footsteps of this great man." 35 The various lections are noted with great care, as well as the obeli of the latter Glasgow edition. We wish that Mr. Butler had been contented with giving us this very useful synopsis of the different readings, with his own opinions and remarks, without subjoining the ponderous and often useless annotations which swell the volume to an alarming size. From the 40 arrangement also of the divisions, the reader is continually obliged to refer to no less than six different parts of the volume Mr. Butler professes to have collated four manuscripts not previously consulted : but we have good reason to believe that the two "Codices Cantabrigienses " were formerly in the possession of Dr. Mead ; and that a collation of them, made by Dr. 45 Askew in the year 1744, is noted in the copy of Stanley's .Eschylus for- merly in his possession and now in the University library.'

On a slip of paper is inserted the following advertisement: ' For the accommoda- tion of those Scholars who may wish to possess the corrected Text of JE&- chylus without the trouble of continual reference to the Notes, Dr. BUTLER 30 intends, at the conclusion of his present Work, to print uniformly with it, at his own expense, his own Text, and to have it sold only to the Purcha- sers of the preceding volumes, at a price which will merely be sufficient to repay the expense of printing and publication. Of course he does not in- tend to piint a greater number than that of his present Edition, and will 35 therefore be obliged to those Gentlemen who may wish to possess this sup- plement, to send their names to Mr. Mackiulay, in London ; to Mr. Deigh- ton, in Cambridge ; or to himself at Shrewsbury. St. John's College, Cam- bridge. Feb. 21, 18 1 1.' In the Edinb. Rev. for Febr. 18 12, Blomfield reviewed this volume ; after 40 a short and temperate allusion to Butler's 'epistolary diatribe, . . . to which, we are persuaded, he is now aware it would not be very difficult to reply ', he proceeds to review the plays in detail. P. 483 ; ' the bulk of the notes is increased by copious extracts from M. de la Porte du Theil's translation.' In p. 493 occurs the ironical commendation: 'in his critical notes on this 45 play he has cited .Escbylus no fewer than clrrm times, Sophocles/our times, ami Euripides twice.' In pp. 493496 is the famous exposure of Thos. Stanley's plagiarism from Is. Casaubon, and of Ant. Askew's plagiarisms fn>m !Vt. Needham. Butler had been guilty of the strange conjecture that blomfield's review (1812). 019 Casaubon had copied from Stanley. P. 494 : ' Dr. Needliam, the editor of Theophrastus, in a copy of Stanley's ^Sachylun, now preserved in the Uni- versity Library at Cambridge, had noted down the collations of several MSS. which he had procured from various learned friends. In the same 5 class is another copy of the same edition, into which Dr. Askew had trans- cribed verbatim everything in MS. contained in Dr. Needham's, except that he had altered the dates of the collations, accommodating them to his own time, and making thereby some absurd anachronisms. He has however misled Dr. Butler, who never saw Dr. Needham's book, and who has there- 1 fore mentioned the MSS. (from which those collations were made before Dr. Askew was born), under the title of "Codices ab Askevio collati."' P. 498 : 'in v. 154 of the Cyclops he would read, Eloes yap avrrju ; ov fxa. At" 'XV dacppalvnfxai, by a species of double syna'oephe perfectly unheard of, by which one word loses its tail to the following word, but in return chops 15 off the other's head.' Ibid. 'Dr. Butler gives a very good disposition of this strophe and antistrophe.' So p. 503 : ' Dr. Butler proposes p.rj nraLaas p.oyrjs, which we apprehend to be the true reading.' Pp. 503, 504 : ' We now proceed to the Note Varr. et Butlcri Philology. in which Dr. Butler has succeeded in explaining some passages misunder- 20 stood by foregoing commentators. Indeed, we think that his interpretations are generally judicious ; and we give him considerable credit for endeavour- ing, in most instances, to explain the received text .... What we chiefly complain of in Dr. Butler's notes, is the extreme deficiency of illustration from ^Eschylus himself and his brother tragedians ; and the great want of 2 C accuracy and precision in the few references which are made. The learned editor seems to think, with Heath and Musgrave, that if a word is to be found in Hesychius or Suidas, that is sufficient authority for the introduc- tion of it into yEschylus . . . Another defect in the notes of Dr. B. is his propensity to broad and general assertions, without a specification of in- 30 stances . . . Dr. B. has confined his critical reading to those early writers, whose labours, however extensive and useful, have yet in some measure been surpassed, if not superseded . . . Even of David Ruhnken, with whose vast labours in every department of Greek lit rature (metre excepted) all other modern scholars are familiar, he seems to have no knowledge whatever.' 35 ^P" 54> 55 ' Mupos 6e2v yap Odvaros ov S^cpoju ip ovd' S.v ti dvwv ov5' iTTLcnrevSuv vaoh.

Schol. Venet. . . . Stobseus . . . ? Dr. B's emendation, then, has these peculiar merits ; that it leaves untouched a solecism and a false 45 quantity, and introduces moreover a second false quantity ; and we have no doubt but that Mr. Bothe of Magdeburg will on these grounds concur with us in embracing it.' Other evident metrical blunders are then pointed out. P. 505 : 'The Doctor's philological remarks on the Agamemnon rarely 50 contain any really philological illustrations ; but consist, in a great measure, 920 BUTLER.

" Summum artificium," " mira sublimitas," " nee ipse quidem ShaJce- spearius major esse potuit." An example is cited (pp. 507, 508) from the note on Agam. 900, where Clytsemnestra is lamenting the annoyance caused by a gnat : "Imago quam suavissima ! quam ad affectus pingendos miro artificio, 5 quam breviter expressa ! Qualis profecto nemini alii praeter Shakespearium in mentem venire potuisset. Nee prsetereundum illud, quod se adeo vigi- lantem dormire dicat, ut vel tenuissimo culicis murmurantis strepitu ex- citaretur. Haec aegrum et solicitum animum quam ornate, quam suaviter, quam vere depingunt." ' I Pp. 505 507: 'But what we principally object to (and it is what all purchasers of the book must also object to) is, that Dr. Butler's edition is, like many other variorum editions, not a judicious selection, but an indis- criminate coacervation of all that has been expressly written upon ^Eschylus. Good or bad, right or wrong, here it is all, one note upon another, neat as 1 5 imported. First we have Stanley's remark upon iEschylus, then Pauw's note upon Stanley's remark, then Heath's criticism of Pauw's note, and lastly Dr. B.'s character of all three. At v. 734 of the Seven ag. Th. we have nearly two pages of matter manifestly useless and irrelevant, at the end of which the editor assures us, Invitus hac adscripsi; which is but a 20 poor apology to his readers for their loss of time. Again, at v. 925 : " Mire hie hallucinatur Heathius, cuius annotatio inter virorum doctorum somnia numeranca est, ut nullo modo sit pratermittenda." If Dr. Butler thinks, that even the dreams of learned men are by no means to be omitted, he thinks differently from us, and from all who wish for a useful edition of 25 iEschylus... After detailing page after page of the crudities of one man, the scurrilities of another, and the puerilities of a third, he makes such remarks as the following. "Non semel puduit nos Pauwii, hominis frontis perfrict-e et audacis inscitire contumelias exsciibere " S. Butler. ...But, above all, we object (considering the great scarcity of fine rags occasioned 3 by the present war) to the enormous waste of paper upon what Dr. B. terms enarrations, or declarations of the metres.... At v. 880 of the S. ag. Th. we have, first, two pages of the metrical crotchets of Pauw and Heath, " quorum hie," says Dr. B. , "non semper bene rem gessit, iile in his metris declarandis ubique fere turpiter erravit :" These are followed by four pages 35 of Mr. Hermann's declaration of the same Chorus, and these by no less than six of the Doctor's own. And, after all, no mention whatever is made of Dr. Burney's arrangement, which is incomparably the best.... If all the matter which is manifestly superfluous, and, even according to Dr. Butler, confessedly wrong, were expunged from the " Notas Varr. et Butleri Critt. 40 ot Philologg.," they would be reduced in bulk at least one half. The learned Editor is, we presume, himself aware, that the inconvenience which attends the great size of his book, is such as to render it nearly useless to every one but an editor ; for wc are informed, that when he has published seven thick octavo volumes of a corrupt text, he intends to publish an eighth, containing 45 the text according to his own notions ; for which a subscription is, we hear, on foot... Dr. Butler writes Latin fluently and with ease, but not without considerable affectation. His desire of exhibiting his style leads him into long and vapid declamations upon the beauties of his author.' Aitehyll tragozdiai.... Tom. III. Cantabrigia3...M.DCCC.xiT.

In pp. ii, iii he defends his ascription to Askew of collations which Pet. Needham had procured, and which Askew had merely trans- l o cribed : ' Cum enim nullo3 codices Needhamus ipse contulisset, nullam etiam editionem Aeschyli protulisset, Askevius autem non tantum specimen edidisset, sed et hanc supellectilem et alia quoque subsidia satis multa, praeter Needhami collationes, aliunde comparasset, dignior hie mihi demum visus est cuius nomen adhiberetur in compendio. Quod meum consilium, 15 si quis, ut mos est aliquorum [the Blomfields to wit] omnia carpentium, forte reprehend erit, meminerit is velim, iisdem compendiis et Burtonum et Schutzium ante me usos esse ; quae quidem vel hac una de causa retinere multo commodiu3 visum est, quam curiosa quadam diligentia reicere.' Butler himself collated the two Cambridge MSS., and procured (pp. v, 20 xxiii) by means of A. Merian the collation of two Venice MSS. by Jac. Morelli ; J. D. La Roche, of Bale, compiled for him a complete index ver~ borum (p. xxiii). He speaks of his edition of the text as on the eve of publication (p. xviii) and reserves for it the examination of Burney's Tentamen, and of the three 25 plays edited ' docte simul et pulchre a Car. Jac. Blomfield.' Many of Butler's notes were retained in the new edition of Schiitz (Halle, 1809 22, 5 vols.); and the entire commentaries of Stanley and Abresch were reprinted (ibid. 1832, 2 vols. 8vo.) under the title Apyparatus criticus et cxegeticm in Aeschyli (rajoedias.

Milner, the narrowness and uncouth phraseology of their school, seem to have exasperated it to an unusual pitch at this time in 35 Cambridge. The text is Gal. v. 1. P. 14: 'Absurd and extravagant gestures which may attract notice?, gloominess or dejection of countenance, affected professions of humility, severe, censorious and uncharitable judge- ment of our neighbours, strict and literal interpretations of metaphorical phraseology in contradiction to the spirit and general meaning of the con- 40 text, usurped spiritual pre-eminence, blind and infatuated zeal for prose- lytism, moro8cnes8, pride and selfishness, all theRe are strongly and re- peatedly forbidden by the express words of Christ.' P. 20: 'any attempt to fetter and clog the consciences of men by needless ordinances, or to en- force as matters of positive and indispensable obligation, those things, which 45 Christ hath left, and by leaving hath to us made indifferent. 1 After imagining a heathen, who bad been made acquainted with the Christian dispensation, and been attracted by its goodness, he proceeds (p. 24: 'But what would be say then, if we were also to tell him, that PREVALENCE OF I UlUTAN'lSil. 923 his rational enjoyment of temporal blessings will ruin his eternal happiness? That they are scattered indeed around him with a bounteous hand, but that he must touch not, taste not, handle not? that he alone must grieve for his unworthiness in voluntary and mysterious gloom, that the senses, with 5 which his Creator has framed him, are but the instruments of his ruin in the hand of the tempter, and that his desires, which are the natural ai.d only spurs to action, are to be subdued into supine indifference and listle- 3 insensibility ? Tell him farther, that when he has done and willed to do all that man is capable of doing ; when, by a life of mortification and nielan- IO choly and entire abstraction from all worldly interest, he has wrought him- self into habitual and invincible apathy; when he has accustomed himself to look with sullen and sour disgust upon the pleasures, and with careless- lies.-;, or, it may be, with scorn, upon the employments, and, as I should call them, the duties of social life, his labour, even in the Lord, may yet J 5 have been in vain ; that as to him, Christ may in vain have shed His blood upon the cros.;, and that the God, whose mercy is over all His works, may have secretly and irrevocably d oined him, even before his birth, to evi r- lasting perdition; rand that nothing but certain tumultuous, irresistible, inexplicable intimations can afford him any safe and well grounded as- 2 surance of pardon or reward Yet for the existence, and even the pre- valence of such doctrine, and for the vindication and praise of such discipline, I need appeal only to the observation of those who now hear me. Xo man who views the daily increase of Puritanism (which in its root and branches in its tenets and effects, resembles the Pharisaical system of the Jews); no 2? man who compares its late and present progress with events which the history of our own nation has recorded in dark and blood stained charac- ters ; no man who has remarked the subtlety, and restlessness, and im- petuosity, of spiritual pride,. .. .can look without alarm and dismay to con- sequences, which force themselves upon the most common observer of 30 human nature.' J 'p. 28 seq. 'True it is that the modern fanatics profess a very sincere thcoloyical hatred of the Church of Home ;.. . .but they have a discipline and doctrine of their own, in many respects as buithensome, as offensive, as dogmatical, and as antiscriptural as that fioiu which the reformation has 35 delivered us. I do not say that they practise ascetic mortifications in a hermitage or cloister; but they bring the gloom and austerity of a cloister into domestic life. I do not say that they believe in the miracles of St. Ignatius or St. Dominic ; but they believe in daily miracles performed among themselves: in preternatural effusions of the Spirit, in hourly and 40 especial Providences, in sudden celestial influences and impulses, in divine visitations of favour or of vengeance. ... Again, if they do not believe in the martyrdom of St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgins, they have a host of martyrs among themselves, which may be set in triumphant array against the list of Romish Saints. The denial of any unreasjnable request, or 45 opposition to any extravagant fancy ; the wishes of parents or benefactors, expressed in the mildest and kindest manner, these are construed into acts of oppression ; and so infatuated are the unhappy victims of this dangerous bigotry, that they seek and court what they call persecution, and seem to claim especial merit in thwarting all the kind and affectionate offices wi.ich CO 924 BUTLER. INSTALLATION SERMON (1811). are tendered by those with whom they ought to be connected by the near- est and dearest ties of friendship, of gratitude, or blood. Much, we know, has been said .... of the tyranny of priestcraft in the Church of Rome; but much may be said also of the same tyranny and the same craft, in the great and growing sect of which I am speaking. With regard to that most 5 formidable engine of antient ecclesiastical tyranny, confession, it i3 actually employed and regularly systematized by these fanatical reformers, and their whole body of neophytes is subject to the secret and arbitrary exercise of this offensive curiosity, or as I should rather call it, th'i3 dangerous and inquisitorial domination .... They do assume to themselves the sole and io exclusive title of CHRISTIANS .... These men deal out damnation to all but their own ELECT. Come, says the Evangelical Teacher, to L'3, all ye that travail ai.d are heavy laden, and the gospel from OUR lips will refresh you .... In the twinkling of an eye you will be raised from the death of Heathenish ignorance and anti-scriptural corruption, into the life of the 1 5 new creature in Christ Jesus. When the champions of Vital Christianity are called upon to vindicate these invidious and mystical harangues, . . . they insist upon what has never been controverted, that the primary and esta- blished meaning of the word Evangelical is honorable. But they lose .... sight of the main topic which is really in dispute, ivhether they have them- 2 selves a pre-eminent and even exclusive claim to the appellation of evan- gelical BELIEVERS.' P. 40 : 'Sourness, affected and ostentatious scrupulosity, uncharitableness in our judgements upon the possible mistakes and infirmities of other men, and moroseness in our intercourse with each other, and in the external 25 character of the worship we pay to God, must be contrary to our duty. . . . Besides, they visibly, and I must say, invariably, tend to narrow the mind with selfishness, to harden it with intolerance, to blind it with bigotry and to inflate it with pride.' P. 4 1 scj. 'We find some strong indications of even more than a con- $0 tempt for literature occasionally manifested in the writings and discourses of the fanatics of the present day Disgusted we may be, but surely not surprised, at the avowed contempt of learning, taste, and science, and all the intellectual excellences, which in this place we are peculiarly bound to cultivate and recommend For when men can persuade themselves, that 35 they have within them a divine and infallible guide, the very spirit of knowledge and of truth, they cannot but despise those who pretend not to such divine and unerring illuminations. Having themselves discovered a short and royal road to wisdom, they cannot but contemn us, whom they see toiling with much anxiety after knowledge.... Yet as we proceed in 4 our laborious course, wc have opportunities for learning one important lesson, in which the holy contemners of erudition and philosophy will rarely vouchsafe to receive us for their instructors. Knowing distinctly and experimentally the limitation of the human faculties ; finding almost at every step, that additions to our knowledge are accompanied by the detec- 45 tion of error in ourselves or in other men,... we cannot but be taught, by the experience of our own imperfections, to make largo allowances for those of our brethren, and to tolerate opinions which, however widely they differ from our own, may yet bo consistent with sincerity of intention, and general HMictity of life.' r THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS. 025 In the notes Butler constantly quotes Erasmus, certainly a striking con- trast to the fervid school which he was assailing. Pp. 59 89 are on the Catholic claims. P. 59: 'Indeed I should hardly have ventured on this step, but for the sake of honestly and openly contra- 5 dieting an opinion, which I found to be very prevalent, that in some pas- sages in my sermon (perhaps not perfectly heard in all parts of a church crowded beyond example) I had expressed a decided hostility to the Catholics. It were much to be wished that the opponents of farther concession to our Catholic fellow subjects would distinguish between the Catholic Church and I O the present Catholic question. There is not, I am firmly convinced, any church so apostolical, so pure, so truly Christian in spirit, in doctrine, and in discipline, as the Established Church of England, in which I consider it a blessing to have been educated, and an honour to be a teacher. Nor can any of her most zealous sons entertain a more respectful and affectionate I 5 veneration for her authority, or a more decided conviction of her purity and truth.' The reasons for fearing Romanists have passed away; the church has held its estates above 250 years ; the protestant succession is secured by the death of the rival family; the pope's temporal power is abolished, his spi- 20 ritual, limited (pp. 60 63). By extracts from Romanist divines it is shewn that the dispensing and deposing power, the doctrine that faith is not to be kept with heretics, etc. are repudiated by the modern church of Rome (pp. 63 86). Pp. 86, 87: 'Persuaded as I am that the great measure of Catholic Emancipation is intimately connected with the stability and secu- 25 rity of our Establishments in Church and State, and feeling the warmest zeal for the permanence and prosperity of those establishments, I have written thus far But I must first refer them [my readers] to the eloquent and energetic, yet solid and irresistible arguments of that acute and saga- cious reasoner, that "mighty master," not only of all the riches of classical 30 literature, but of all the depths of antient and modern philosophy, and of all the stores of antient and modern history, philopatris varvicensis [Sam. Parr]. From his luminous pages, the treasure-house of most valuable, instruction on subjects of the utmost importance to the moral and in- tellectual improvement of mankind, let me extract a few passages to adorn 3; my own, and at the same time earnestly recommend to readers of all parties and all persuasions, the diligent and attentive perusal of the work itself from which I quote.' After a eulogy upon Bp. Henry Bathurst of Norwich, and Sir John Cox Hippisley, two advocates of the Catholic claims, Butler adds (pp. 88, 89): 'The Venerable Prelate and Hon. 40 Baronet, whose authorities are here cited, were admitted to Honorary Degrees, amidst the marked and general plaudits of a most crowded Senate House, on the great public occasion when this discourse was delivered before the University of Cambridge.' In his notes against the Methodists Butler chiefly follows Bp. Lavington's ac Enthusiasm of Methodists and Papists compared. In pp. 92 seq. he com- ments on ' the scantiness, for I am unwilling to say the coldness, of the notices which they [the Evangelicals] take of God the Father.' In p. 103 he cites from Claudius Buchanan's Three Eras of Light (p. 58) the remark, ' that the names of reproach which men of the world have given GO 2 926 BUTLER. INSTALLATION SERMON (1811). to religious men, have been generally derived from something highly vu. .- ous or lau -able [e.g. Pietists, Puritans, Saints, Evangelicals]... the usual term of religious reproach at this day is Methodist ; a term first used at Oxford, and derived from the Method which some religious students ob- served in the employment of their time. So far it is an honorable appelia- 5 tion. It is now applied to any man of pure and unaffected piety, and is, in short, another term for a Christian.' P. 105 : ' It is not true that in the present day their ministers... are calk I evangelical from their desire to do the work of an evangelist, but from their exclusively arrogating to themselves the title of teachers of the Gospel IO There is in fact a great difference between a Pietist and a pious person, a Puritan and a pure person, a Religionist and a religious person. The former expression, in each case, signifies an abuse or affectation of the quality from which it is denominated.' P. 129: 'From the difficulty of printing in a learned language at a pro- 1 5 vincial press, where, although the correct and elegant execution of the English part of this book cannot fail to recommend itself to every reader, there is no occasion for, and therefore no supply of Greek types, I am obliged to compress this note into a small compass.' That Butler's censures of the Evangelicals, as applied to the best of the -O party, run into caricature and almost calumny, will appear to those who know only e.g. the lives of Hannah More, Wilberforce, Wm. Jay, Thos. Scott. The simplicity of life which they enforced generally made their homes cheerful and happy, nor were the rigid Calvinistic decrees by any means universally accepted there even in theory. Butler's prejudice how- 25 ever prevailed very w idely at the time, as may be seen by a reference to the early volumes of the Christian Observer, or to Simeon's Life. Letter of Simeon's 3 Jan. 1812 (Life c. 12 p. 230): 'The bitter Sermons preached at the Commencement by a Dr. Illingworth and Dr. Butler of Shrewsbury, both against all spiritual religion, were generally disapproved, 3 even by those who hate religion. They were thought to be out of place and unseasonable, not to mention vehement and uncharitable.' Sam. Parr to lord Holland, Hatton, Dec. 31, 1812 ( Works, vu. 134, 135): ' I am happy in saying that most of the learned Ecclesiastics with whom 1 live in friendship are decidedly favorable to the claims of the Roman 35 Catholics. Dr. Maltby wrote something, and wrote well You do not seem to be aware that Dr. Butler of Shrewsbury, one of our very best scholars, has written yet more largely, and this you will find in the Notes upon the Sermon which he preached at Cambridge, ...and which has pro- duced a long correspondence between him and Sir J. Cox Hippisley. ... 4 Butler has been converted by me from a Tory into a Whig, both in Church and State. He is not rich. He is somewhat connected with a Tory Bishop; but he preserves his independence, and no Ecclesiastic in this kingdom is more entitled to the good opinion of those who hold your Uncle's principles.' Same to same, June 11, 1822 (ibid. 146): 'Soon you will have an anti- 15 Catholic petition from the Clergy of Derby. The Archdeacon of Derby had an interview with me last Sunday for the purpose of telling me, that he has- not ]>nt his 7>amc to it. Who is he? The very, very, very learned Samuel Butler of Shrewsbury.

Blomfield, 18 May 1S18 {Memoir of C. J. B. hj 5 Alfred Blumjiehl, Lond. 1863, 1. 30, 31): 'There certainly must be some connexion between Greek and Popery. Besides Messieurs Blomfield and Elmsley, there are Doctors Parr, Butler, Maltby, Raine all men conver- sant in the subjunctive mood, and all supporters of the Catholic claims, as they are called. ... I have just received a letter from Dr. Butler, in which IO you are mentioned in a way that is creditable to his good-nature, after the review of his "Seven against Thebes" and "Agamemnon." It is plain to me that he wishes a reconciliation with you. I think it would be creditable to both of you to shake hands, if your arms are long enough to reach from Shrewsbury to Aylesbury.

The Second Part, which contains a short view of Antient Geography, has been unattempted in this manner, as far as I know, by any one but myself. I have endeavoured to make a dry catalogue p of names interesting and useful, by the application of history, chronology, and poetry, and I have selected those passages which occurred to my recol- lection from the books most generally read at schools of eminence and in colleges. ..To say nothing of the difficulty of printing Greek at a provincial press, which 1 have found on repeated trials to be insuperably great, Latin^ 35 on other accounts, and especially Latin poetry, appeared to me preferable for quotation, as it is more easily committed to the memory, and more easily retained.... This little work was only thought of in September last; and though haste is no excuse for negligence, real and incessant occupation may plead for an occasional or trifling inaccuracy. . . .

P. 4 : 'It was my original intention to have addressed this letter to another member of the House of Commons [The right hon. C. J. Villiers, brother to the earl of Clarendon], who, though not particularly connected with Shrewsbury School, from friendship to its head-master takes a warm 2,5 interest in its prosperity, and to whose individual kindness, and that of hia elder brother, I owe great obligations. But the polite reception you have been so kind as to give my former letter, demands a public acknowledge- ment; and for some expressions in that letter I wish also to offer an apology which should be equally public. I have indeed already done this in the 40 Morning Chronicle of Nov. 16, 1820: [Footnote. . . being convinced by a letter which I have had the honour to receive from Mr. Brougham, that his respect for learning is not only not problematical, but deep and sincere, and confirmed, as might naturally be expected from a man of a high order of talents, by practical experience of its utility, and the cultivation of 45 classical pursuits even in the midst of his arduous professional and political occupations].' Charter of King Edward VI., granted at the request not only of the burgesses of Shrewsbury, but also of the whole neighbouring country, for a school to be used for the education of boys in grammar for ever (pp. 6, 7). 934 BUTLER. LETTER TO BROUGHAM. Ashton's ordinances for the school (pp. 812; see above pp. 405 seq.); when these ordinances were for the most part repealed by the Act of 1 798, it was still provided that the school should remain a free grammar school (PP- r 3 15)- Pp. is, 16: 'It only now remains for me to shew that Shrewsbury school 5 both was originally a Public School, and ought to be so considered at the present time. And if I can prove this, then I hope I shall not be thought to ask too much, when I express a hope that you will use your best ex- ertions to have it included in that list of exemptions from the operation of your bill, which is contained in one of the final clauses, on the ground of 10 their being Public Schools, namely, Cathedral Schools and the Colleges or Schools of Eton, Westminster, Winchester, Harrow, the Charter House, and Rugby. . . . 1. If by a Public School is meant a school open to the public. ?'. e. a 'school to which persons from all parts of the kingdom are in the habit of sending their children for education (which I suppose is the 1 c most comprehensive and proper definition of the expression), this was the case in the Shrewsbury School at its foundation, and is so now.' 2. Or one ' at which boys are educated in the higher departments of literature, with a view to their entrance into public life.' 3. Or 'one of ample foundation, endowed with valuable exhibitions.' 4. Or 'one in which the numbers and 20 competition are so great, that the boys educated there distinguished them- selves by obtaining public honours at the Universities ; in this respect Shrewsbury School can produce lists which will, it is hoped, entitle it to rank, without disgrace, among the six eminent schools which the act speci- fically enumerates.' That Shrewsbury school is public in the first sense is 2? proved by Camden's testimony, by the ordinances, by an extract from the original register (1562), containing the first 2S9 admissions, among which are those of knights' and esquires' sons, and the proportion of 'strangers' to 'townsmen' is very large. In 1564 Philip Sidney and his friend Fulke Grevile lord Brooke were admitted the same day (16 Cal. Nov.) and James 20 Harington's name came next. Letters between the school and St. John's college (1583, and 19 Nov. 1627) prove the same thing (pp. 16 28). Pp. 28 seq. : 'I must just notice, in transitu, two masters who succeeded each other, of peculiar worth: one of these is the very learned Leonard Hotchkis, under whom were educated Dr. John Taylor, the editor of De- 2; mosthenes, and Dr. Edward Waring, afterwards Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in the University of Cambri Ige. Mr. Hotchkis was succeeded by the Rev. Charles Newling in 1754, under whom the school flourished in great prosperity, and was filled with the sons of the most respectable families in this and the adjacent counties. aq 'Tlie number of boys at present on the list is 160, of whom about one- third are on the foundation, and might be greater were there sufficient room in the first and second masters' Iioumch for their accommodation, local cir- cumstances having hitherto made the admission of other boarding-houses inconvenient. Of this number there are at present boys from 28 different as counties of England and Wales, besides Scotland and Ireland; and this I think completely satisfies the requisites enum .Tated in the first suppo- ti.n.

Pp. 6, 7 : 'It will be the object of the following pages to investigate the origin and primary meaning of these prepositions, to deduce from thence their secondary and more remote significations, and to illustrate and confirm 20 these observations by examples drawn from the best writers, which may be rendered into Latin as an exercise by the student. In the selection of these passages care has been taken to fix on such, in many instances, as will illustrate customs, or give considerable practice in the more elegant idioms and phraseology of the Latin tongue. The version is made as literal as the 25 structure of the languages will allow, and the idioms, or phraseology in its exact form, placed at the bottom of the page. It may perhaps sometimes be thought that this is done too minutely, but experience of more than 25 years in teaching convinces the author of this work that the same thing can hardly be too often inculcated...

P. 6 : 'Of bis intellectual powers it was impossible that he should not be conscious, and this made him too open to the praise of those who could not truly appreciate them, and who bestowed their hollow compliments with I 5 insincerity of heart.' Pp. 7 10: ' I am here in obedience to his command, and so far, I trust, in his own free and manly spirit, as to scorn offering to his memory, what I should despise to receive as a tribute to my own. I must ever speak of him with the warmth of affectionate friendship, with love for his virtues, 20 with admiration for his learning, and with gratitude for his regard; but I will say of him only that which I believe and know, and will never intro- duce the language of insincerity in a place and on an occasion, which, of all others, should admit only the voice of truth. ' He was gifted by nature with a most powerful and capacious intellect, 25 which he cultivated by early and diligent application. His memory was almost miraculous, and the stores which he could pour forth from it, on every subject of literature, were perfectly inexhaustible. In abstruse and metaphysical enquiries he had no superior. The quickness of his percep- tion led his mind to remote and occult causes and their consequences, and 30 the soundness of his judgement enabled him to discriminate between truth and error, between hypothesis and fact. Deeply versed in the writings of the antient philosophers, and especially in those of the Academic and Peri- patetic schools, and intimately conversant also with all the eminent writers on moral and metaphysical subjects in modern times, he could pierce into 35 the most secret recesses of the human mind, and trace its passions and its habits, its virtues and its vices, to the very source from which they spring. Yet this knowledge was but human. ..He whose keen and rapid glance could thus develope the motions of the human heart, and scrutinize those causes of our actions and feelings which are often unknown to ourselves, AO was continually liable to misapprehension and error in his intercourse with mankind. ..And I have thought it but right to state this, because it may seive to explain and to remove many of those offences which were taken against him, by those who did not know his simplicity and singleness of heart, and who may have imagined themselves slighted where he never j- intended to offend, or may have construed expressions of momentary feeling into the language of settled dislike. 'In serious argument he was keen, energetic, and irresistible, but the cheerfulness of his mind sometimes led him to paradox on lighter subjects, especially among those whom he loved ; and in such cases he seemed to 938 BUTLER. FUNERAL SERMON*. contend not only for the sake of amusement, but perhaps alsi for that of strengthening his powers, and awakening his faculties for more grave dis- cussion. The causes already mentioned have sometimes operated on these occasions to produce an unfavorable result among strangers, especially when combined with that impatience which was inseparable from his acute under- 5 standing and vigorous imagination, and perhaps, that desire of victory which was natural to his great and ardent spirit... They saw- not the sterling worth, the innate benevolence of his heart ; they knew not, what all who enjoyed his intimacy could testify, that if a hasty expression, uttered in the ardour of dispute, was couched in stronger term3 than he would have used IO in a moment of less excitement, it was not meant to inflict a permanent wound, and that it was utterly out of his nature deliberately to do an ill turn to the worst enemy he had.' Pp. 10, 1 1 : 'In politics his ardent love of freedom, his hatred of oppres- sion, and his invincible spirit, joined to the most disinterested and incor- ] ^ ruptible integrity, and the most resolute independence, even in the days of poverty and privation, made him always a prominent and conspicuous cha- racter. Caution he despised ; it was not a part of his noble and fearless nature. \A hat he thought greatly he uttered manfully ; and such a mighty master of language, when speaking or writing on civil and religious liberty, 20 carried away his hearers by the same resistless torrent of eloquence by which himself wa3 swept along. ..He must be allowed to have been a most sincere and faithful lover of his country, zealously attached to her consti- tution, and only anxious that all ranks and parties should enjoy as much liberty of action and of conscience, as he conceived to be compatible there- 25 with. And in private life he was on terms of friendly and familiar inter- course with many whose opinions were removed as far as possible from his own. For myself, I may say, that differing from him on many political points, and particularly on one which a few years since was peculiarly near his heart, and on some theological questions, not one moment's interruption 3 to our friendship was caused by that or any other diversity of opinion, during more than five-and-twenty years.' Pp. 11 13 : 'As to his learning, it was the most profound, and, I may add, the most varied and extensive, of any man of his age. He has left a chasm in the literature of his country which none of us, who arc here 35 assembled to do honour to his memory, shall ever see filled up. He com- bined in himself a rare and happy union of qualities that are seldom com- patible with each other ; quick perception and sound judgement, retentive memory and vivid imagination ; to these he added unwearied assiduity and accurate research. As a classical scholar he was supreme deeply versed .JO in history, especially that of his own country; in metaphysics and moral philosophy not to be excelled; in theology he had lead more extensively, and thought more deeply, than most of those who claim the highest literary fame in that department. He was admirably versed in the history and constitution of our own church, in the origin of its liturgy, which no man jj admired more. ..and in the writings both of its founders and of those great luminaries who flourished in the seventeenth century. He was well acquainted also with the constitution of those sects and churches which differ from our own. He was well read in controversy, though he loved ON SAMUEL PARR. 939 not controversialists, for his benevolent and tolerating spirit was shocked by anything like rancour among men who believe a gospel of love... ' Thus pre-eminent himself in learning, he was, of all men whom I have ever known or read of, the most liberal in communicating it, and in sowing 5 the seeds and fostering the growth of it, by his advice, by his interest, and very largely and frequently by his pecuniary assistance to all scholars who stood in need of it, and especially to his brethren in the church, and to young men of promising talents, whose means were inadequate to their support at the universities. Were I not withheld by the delicacy of the IO subject, I could corroborate this assertion by many splendid instances... He was utterly destitute of all littleness and jealousy of spirit, and never men- tioned the name, either of friend or foe, who had any pretensions to learn- ing, without rendering ample justice to his merits on that score.' Pp. 13, 14. Parr's benevolence to the poor. 'There are those amongst 15 you. ..who can remember it [the church], without the religious gloom of its numerous painted windows, without the splendid decorations of its altar and its pulpit, with scarcely any of the marble on its walls, without its organ, without those bells in whose cheerful sounds he so much delighted ; in a word, who may recollect it to have been one of the meanest, instead of 20 being, as it is now become by his bounty, undoubtedly one of the best kept and best adorned places of divine worship which this neighbourhood can present. Truly may we say that he found it brick and has left it marble. And what speaks far beyond the praise of solemn and decorous ornament, behold the testimony of his labours, in the enlarged dimensions of the edi- 25 nce itself not so much called for by the increased population of his parish, as by the increased and increasing numbers of that population who have been brought by him to frequent his church.' Pp. 15, 16: ' His piety..., though unostentatious, was fervent and sin- cere. Though tolerant in the highest degree to the opinions of all whom he 30 believed to be sincere, he had a thorough and pervading sense of religion in his own mind, a firm belief in the promises of the Gospel, and a confiding trust in the mercies of God. I never knew him mention that august name without the utmost reverence, and though... his piety was most unostenta- tious, yet frequently when I have come upon him unexpectedly, and some- 35 times during the pauses of our more serious conversations (and I may add, that I rarely, perhaps never, passed a day with him, in which some reli- gious topic did not form part of them) ; I have seen him occupied in devout and private aspirations, with that fervour of manner and animation of coun- tenance, which though the lips spoke not, sufficiently declared the holy and A.O reverential feelings of his heart. But, above all things, his delight was to contemplate and discourse upon the divine benevolence. This was the master chord to which his own heart was responsive : he loved to be absorbed and lost, as it were, in the contemplation of that divine goodness... Even in his last illness, and in those moments of temporary alienation, for ac some such there sometimes were, when the mind often betrays itself..., this great and pervading feeling was strongly displayed. There was a holiness and purity in his very wanderings, which bespoke the habitual piety and benevolence of his soul, and which perhaps is a more affecting and salutary lesson to the survivors, than any death-bed exhortation could afford.' eg This sermon was introduced after the lesson (Barker's Parriana, I. 119 61 940 SAMUEL BUTLER AND PARR. seq.) and was preached in obedience to Parr's request, i Nov. 1824 (John- stone's Memoirs of Parr, 8381 : ' I desire you, if you can, to preach a short unadorned funeral sermon. Rann Kennedy is to read the lesson and grave service, though I could wish you to read the grave service also. Say little of me, but you are sure to say it well.' c Parr was a number of St. John's college, as well as of Emm., and both colleges can shew his portrait. No reputation has more entirely perished ; but somewhat unjustly, as will be plain to any one who will read his Spital Sermon, his discourse on education, or his most instructive letters. The reverence with which so many men of high birth or of high standing in the IO political and literary worlds regarded him, was not only creditable to them, but exercised upon them an elevating influence, which makes his name worthy to rank with Johnson's. Yet many now conceive of him only as a gourmand, a vain disputant, and a composer of antithetic inscriptions ; to not a few the well-known saying ' Porson first, Burney third,' sums up I 5 the whole character of the man. The above words of Butler, the notices of Parr by De Quincey and Cyrus Redding, and John James Blunt's review of his life (reprinted from the Quarterly in his collected essays), will enable the reader to form a truer estimate of one of the kindest hearted and best read Englishmen of the last generation. 20 Prof. John James Blunt in Quarterly Rev. for April 1829 (xxxix. 298) : ' Dr. Butler complied with his [Sam. Parr's] request [that he would preach at his funeral], and amply made good the opinion here expressed. He spoke of him like a warm and stedfast friend, but not like that worst of enemies, an indiscreet one; he did not challenge a scrutiny by the extrava- 25 gance of his praise, nor break, by his precious balms, the head he was most anxious to honour.' Johnstone, Memoirs 839, 840: 'Dr. Butler was charged with introducing too many defects, and resting upon them too long, in his delineation of Dr. Parr's character. It was without reason that this blame was cast upon the -20 sermon.. .Though there was no aim at pathos, or affectation of tenderness, so really affecting was the conduct of the whole ceremony, that many a sob was heard, and every eye was moist.' Johnstone's Memoirs of Samuel Parr, 627 seq. : 'In September 1791 began Dr. Parr's acquaintance with him [Butler], then a boy leaving Rugby 35 School, and actually, or about to be, entered at Christ Church, under the tuition of the present Dean [1828, i.e. Cyril Jackson]. By Parr's inter- ference this plan was changed, and Cambridge was chosen, as more likely to be conducive to the interests of the young scholar, who had been intro- duced to his notice by the merit of a copy of Latin verses Fiom 1793 to 40 1801 there appears to have been no intercourse. It was in this interval that Butler established himself as a scholar, was preferred to be Head Master of Shrewsbury School, and was, in 1802, presented to the living of Kenilworth, his native place. In 1806, on the resignation of Dr. Ingles, he was candidate for the place of Head Master of Rugby School. 45 Parr felt the utmost zeal on this occasion ; but his zeal was unavailing, though exerted for the interests, and on the behalf of one whose learning was scarcely surpassed, and whose diligence and skill in the instruction and management of youth were unrivalled, and who appears to have been BUTLER AND PARR (1791-1808). 04 1 the only candidate on the day of election who had been educated at the school ; a qualification which, independently of the credit he had obtained for the school by gaining more classical prizes at the University than all the scholars which had been sent from it, gave him a claim to preference, 5 ceteris paribus, ...under the Act of Parliament then existing for the regula- tion of the school.' Sam. Butler to Sam. Parr, Shrewsbury, March 15, 1802 (Parr's Works, VII. 359) : ' I should have taken an earlier opportunity of addressing you... to thank you for the high honour you have conferred on me, in mentioning IO my name in the notes to your Spital Sermon The acquaintance of a scholar so eminent as yourself was too honorable and gratifying to me to be lost without regret; may I add, that I should be happy on a favorable opportunity to renew it. But I am now never above a week in the year in Warwickshire, and that time, being so short, I wholly appropriate to my I 5 father and mother.' R. P. Knight to Sam. Parr, Whitehall, March 12, 1805 (ibid. 306, 307): 'Mr. Butler's having obtained your friendship... is a testimony of his merit sufficient to recommend him to me, and to induce me to do every thing in my power to promote his interest. I therefore lost no time in 20 speaking both to Lord Abercorn and Lord North wick; but the former is no governor, and the latter had before received so favorable an impression of Butler's character, that my recommendation seemed to be superfluous ; so that I hope there remains little doubt of his election.' There is a friendly letter from Butler to Parr 10 Dec. 1805 in Johnstone's 25 Memoirs of Parr, 633, 634. Parr to Butler, Aug. 28, 1806 (Works, vn. 359, 360): 'Xo man living is more deeply impressed than I am with a sense of your great attainments as a scholar, and of your numerous and solid qualifications to preside over a public school. Xo man can be more ready than I am to bear a direct, 30 sincere, and public testimony to your merits. I therefore could not be dispk-ased with the contents of your last letter, and while I thank you for the marked, and manly, and delicate attention which you shew to my possible scruples, I will tell you, with all imaginable plainness, the real state of my mind. ..My political sentiments, and the habits of my thinking, 35 ...have always determined me to stand aloof from the gentlemen of War- wickshire... For these reasons I am unwilling to address any testimonial directly to the Rugby Trustees. But I will in my own way, and with sufficient formality, put upon paper what I know of your intellectual, literary, and moral worth ; and what I wish, not merely in justice to you, 40 but for the general interests of education... I commend you for the dignified manner in which you have made your application, and for your own sake, for the sake of your family and friends, and for the sake of our youth, I most heartily wish you success.' Johnstone, Memoirs, 528, 529. Sam. Parr to Sam. Butler, Caius Coll. 4- Cambridge, Dec. 12, 1808 : 'If I were writing a book you should find me ready and earnest in doing justice to your meritorious exertions, and your judicious opinions on subjects of literature. On the present occasion I have no hesitation in communicating to you what I have already stated, and shall hereafter state, to the scholars of this kingdom, on the marked and fil 2 942 SAMUEL BUTLER AND PARR (1806-14). solid pretensions you have for Rugby. You were educated on the spot, and must thoroughly understand the peculiarities of the system which is established there. You stood high in the esteem of Dr. James, to whose erudition, and activity, and integrity, every boy, every parent, every trustee concerned in the school, must owe the most important obligations. You 5 did credit to your Master by the whole course of your academical life, and it will give you pleasure to be told that your literary qualifications are highly valued in this place, and that a great anxiety for your success has, in my presence, been repeatedly expressed by persons whose praise must be animating to you, and whose good wishes are founded on their conviction IO of your distinguished merit. To ample, and, I add, more than sufficient store of erudition, you add acknowledged diligence, long experience, and, what I value yet more, a sincere and generous zeal for the improvement of every person entrusted to your care.' Ibid. 530 532: 'Dr. Butler did not succeed. It was the good fortune 1 5 of Shrewsbury not to lose him: for from thence have proceeded, since Dr. Butler's system has been in full work, more prize scholars than from any one other establishment, of similar magnitude, in England. The letter to Mr. Brougham may this year (1828) be enlarged by the addition of 23 public prizes gained in the English Universities... by his scholars, among 20 whom my affectionate friendship for an eminently learned and distinguished young man irresistibly impels me to insert the name of Benjamin Hall Kennedy... ' Some domestic disturbances having occasioned the removal of Mrs. Wynne (Dr. Parr's eldest daughter) to Shrewsbury, she received the kind- 2 5 est attentions that declining health and unhappy circumstances permitted, from Dr. and Mrs. Butler. Their kindness was of such a nature, and was so bestowed, as to demand more than common gratitude. The two great scholars were united inseparably, and when, in a moment of anguish, Parr, torn from the natural ties of bis family, was obliged to look out for heirs to 3 his fortunes in aliens to his blood, he fixed on John Bartlam and Samuel Butler. In happier times, restored to his grand -children, and with in- creased resources, he finally bequeathed to Dr. Butler 1000, with many smaller tokens of kindness to his family.' Ibid. 837, 838: 'On the 16th of January [1825], his birthday, Arch- 35 deacon Butler came ; I took him to the bed-side of his dying friend, whose countenance beamed with joy at his approach. The manner in which he clasped our hands together and blessed us, as the two friends whom, next to his own grand-children, he loved best on earth, can never be for- gotten by Dr. Butler or myself.' 4 Parr to Butler, Hatton, April i, 1814 (Works, vil. 363): 'I shall say plainly that you are the best Greek scholar among all the schoolmasters in England, and as honest a man as this day adorns either the English Church or society. Namesake, we must have patience with these foolish petticoats. ...Oh, my dear namesake, you have a heart as well as a head, and with the 45 head you would approve, and with the heart you would love me for what has lately been passing in my mind about Samuel Butler, S. T. P. May God Almighty bless you and yours. I am really your friervd.' On April 3, 1808, Parr wrote to criticise Butler's Latin inscription on his father )pp. BUTLER AND PARR (1814-9). 943 363, 364) : ' Pray, namesake, leave room on the monument for what you will hereafter say of your excellent mother, and of her it may be more truly said than of most women in the heathenish phrase, quacum vixit sine querela.... Let us meet, and let us discuss, and let us wrangle, and let us 5 make it up, let us doubt, and then let us resolve. that nominative case!' Same to same (Hatton, 19 July 1815, ibid. 365): 'You are in the pursuit of health, and may heaven grant it you. I think you fortunate in having such an enlightened companion as Corrie. How cruel was the caprice of fortune in making him a Presbyterian parson !' IO Lord John Townshend writing to Sam. Parr, 25 Oct. 1815, tells him of an objection taken by Dr. Butler to his becoming a candidate for the university at a very early age (ibid. 168, 169). Parr to Butler, 7 Oct. 1816 (Johnstone, 532): 'God bless you. Dr. Samuel Butler, you are a real Scholar. You have taste and sense; you 1 5 have integrity and magnanimity. You are my esteemed, beloved, and re- spected friend.' Parr to Butler, 7 Jan. 1817 (Works, ibid. 367) : 'Never, never, never, shall we forget your noble present never, never, never! George Butler gave the boys a holiday at Harrow in honour of my marriage ; you must do the same 20 at Shrewsbury. God bless you all. The other day a friend of Bartlam's told him that Otter said that Butler is the next Grecian after in the opinion of the Cantabs. Otter did not make himself responsible. Jack Bartlam kindled and said, "I should like to see , or any of them, write a piece of Latin fit to stand by Sam. Butler's." I add, that I should 25 like to see a page of their criticism upon Greek fit to be compared to Sam. Butler's notes on ^Eschylus. Namesake, you and I belong to no critical gang. I am truly your friend, S. Parr. And so am I, J. Bartlam.' Same to same, 19 July 1817 (ibid.): 'Lose not one moment in writing earnestly to Mr. Dauncy, who is a Bencher of Gray's Inn. The Preacher- 3 ship will soon be vacant. Edward Maltby is a candidate, and surely by his publications, literary and theological, he has entitled himself to the highest situations in the church. The obstacles are his principles in religious tolera- tion, and his attachment to civil liberty.' Same to Dr. Burney 5 Febr. 1818 (Johnstone, 532): 'In heart Samuel 35 Butler, of Shrewsbury, is equal to any man in Christendom in head, he has only two superior through the whole circle of my friends. He has no envy, no INSOLENCE no servility.' Same to C. P. Burney 26 Febr. 18 18 (Works, vin. 636) : 'The only per- sons whom I think worthy of being permitted to look at what I write are, 40 the President of Magdalen [Dr. M. J. Routh], Dr. Butler of Shrewsbury, and Dr. Kaye.' Same to Butler 22 June 18 19 (vil. pp. 368, 369), requesting him to act as his executor. In 1819 Parr (ibid. 498) writes to Dr. Gabell: 'I am writing to you in . c the spacious and well-furnished library at Shrewsbury, and the presence of Dr. Butler, and surely these circumstances are not ill-suited to the contents of my letter' [on a book 'on the subjunctive with qui']. Leonard Horner to Parr, Edinburgh, 13 Nov. 1819 (Ibid. 300): 'Pillans 1)4:4 BUTLER ARCHD. OF DERBY (1821). PARR. and his colleague, Mr. Carson, have been very highly gratified by your ap- probation of the little grammatical work of the latter Pillans has had letters from Dr. Gabell and Dr. Butler of Shrewsbury, ordering several copies of the book.' Butler to Parr, Shrewsbury 26 Febr. 182 1 (ibid. 369, 370) : 'The Bishop 5 of Lichfield and Coventry has appointed me to the Archdeaconry of Derby... I returned from Lichfield yesterday, where I went to take possession, but more forms remain to be gone through, before I am thoroughly established, such as induction and reading in. The Bishop [James Cornwallis] has shewn me great kindness for the last two and twenty years. He has but IO little to give, and he has twice thought of me, and given me that preferment which is most acceptable to me, for if he had offered me the living of St. Philip's, I must have left this school, and even independently of that con- sideration, it is a species of preferment which nothing would have induced me to accept ; I would not live in Birmingham to be master of all its 15 wealth.' In two undated letters (pp. 370, 371) Butler states his political creed: ' I neither court, nor contemplate the courting, nor aim at the possession of, any favours, nor would I surrender my freedom of opinion to any man, or any set of men, upon any terms which they could offer Tf I am to be 20 under any tyrant, I would rather be under an educated man than the rabble. I hope never to be under either, though times are serious, and the rabble, not the people, are furious.' 'If my preferment depends on my asking for it, you may be assured I shall die as little bene6ced as you are. ..I think Lord John Russell's speech in the 2Z House of Commons, on parliamentary reform, one of the ablest and most convincing productions I ever read: and Mr. Canning's on the same subject one of the most unsatisfactory. But I am not therefore bound to applaud every thing said by the former, should he put forth what I cannot approve ; or to condemn everything said by the latter, should he advance what I 30 cannot in my heart condemn, for instance, Catholic emancipation In a word, as a friend to liberty, I claim the exercise of it I conceive no despo- tism so truly tyrannical as that of the radicals, and will never join them in their attacks on the Christian religion, or on our constitution, both which I am sure they would gladly destroy.' 3; Same to same, not dated (ibid. 371,372), but sent with a wedding present to Parr's grand-daughter Miss Wynne, and therefore written (Field's Me- moir* of Parr, ir. 107) in Aug. or Sept. 1822: 'I sent you my Charge, not because you will like it, but because it is due to our friendship, and my deep respect for you, that you should have all I publish.' [This charge is 4 not in the Bodl. or the Cambr. library.] ' I shall hope to see you see rrjv TtTdprrjv yepcijv, like my good mother.' ' My journey, though very laborious, and not free from peril, completely succeeded. I visited every spot connected with the most interesting parts of the I toman history including Mons Sacer, Tibur, Tusculum, and Alba, 45 and, of course, part of the old Appian way. From Cicero's Tusculan Villa I looked down upon that of his neighbour Cato, and from what may have l"< n his Portico had a fine view of Mons Algidus, still covered with wood, an.

I visited the Alban Villa of Domitian, of CHARGE (JUNE 1825) ON EDUCATION. 945 which there are great remains, but no turbot, and the emissary of the Alban Lake, made by Camillus, a stupendous work before the invention of gun- powder, piercing a mountain. At the grotto of Egeria I trod upon a frac- ment of marble, and drank from the stream running once more through its 5 native tophus. I returned, not sad, from the Fabrician bridge ; I descended into the sepulchre of the Scipios, where, instead of the sarcophagus of L.

P. 7 : 'It is now almost as unusual to meet with an adult (unless in the most abject state of poverty and neglect) unable to read, as it was then rare to find one of the lower orders who pos- sessed that acquirement.... We live in an age of all others the most experi- mental. I cannot but add, and I wish to give offence to none while I say 1 5 it, but truth compels the assertion, that we live also in a time unexampled for morbid sensibility. This is the natural result of wealth, luxury, and indulgence. I grieve to subjoin, that as far as my observation and histori- cal reading go, this symptom of disease in the moral feeling has not unfre- quently been the precursor of decline in great and powerful states.' 2 Pp. 8, 9: 'To this cause I think we may attribute the innumerable schemes and societies for the improvement of mankind many, we may almost say all of them, springing from virtuous principles, and directed, in their intention at least, to benevolent or pious purposes which of late years have sprung up among U3. Some of which, for the sake of promoting some 2 5 distant, contingent, or doubtful good, overlook the nearer and closer claims of country and affinity To this cause we may also attribute the many chimerical attempts and hardy pretensions of some self-nominated profes- sors; who, impatient of the ordinary process, have invented shorter roads to every kind of learning, and... undertake to enlighten the minds of their 30 pupils by almost instantaneous technical illuminations.... Now, if it be true, ...that solid and substantial learning is a plant of slow growth, even in minds that are best prepared to nourish it, I would ask to what really usefid purpose can the general education of the poor, beyond the acquirements of reading, writing, and plain religious instruction, be applied. Nothing is so 35 dangerous to the possessor, or so irksome and offensive to his neighbours, as superficial knowledge.' P. n : 'So that the equalization of learning is as great, and considering the various degrees of talent and capacity which God has given to mankind, a greater chimera, than that of property. But the question with which we 40 have more concern is, would it add to virtue or happiness ? With regard to this we must consider the nature of the knowledge to be acquired. If it be true and substantial knowledge, giving us juster notions of the relations in which we stand to God and man, of the constitution of our nature, and the means of regulating our passions ; and thus making us better Christians 45 and better subjects; then, no doubt, it would conduce to both. But if it !>> of a more unsubstantial and unprofitable kind, if it dazzle with the glitter "I" sophistry , or perplex with the abstractions of science, or delude with the CHARGE (1827) ON THE LIMITS OF KNOWLEDGE. 947 subtilties of paradox, it can neither tend to the happiness or improvement of those who listen to it.' P. 13. Scotland cited 'as a proof of the advantages of diffused educa- tion, and far he it from me to undervalue or depreciate their merits The 5 cause is not so much to be looked for in the diffusion of general knowledge, as in the general attention which is paid in that country to religious edu- cation.' P. 15 : ' Let us remember that we are the appointed teachers in that [the national] church, and let us endeavour to be at least as faithful in our office, IO as the ministers of other congregations, which dissent from us, are in theirs. I do not mean that we should seek to make converts and proselytes, or interfere with the religious instruction which men of other persuasions give their children, but that we should endeavour to keep those who do belong to us, steadfast in their faith.' 15 A charge delivered to the clergy of the archdeaconry of Derby, at Derby and Chesterfield, July 26 and 27, 1827; and published at their rerpiest.

A few months since, the complexion of the times induced me to commit to the press some thoughts on a particular point [Church Dignities], which might 35 have been reserved to this time, had I not wished them to go forth before the meeting of Parliament.' Pp. 5, 6. The returns shew church property to be not more than ^..S 00 * 000 ! about 210 for each clergyman, with the exception of the bishops. ' Thus ends, I trust, the fable of the enormous wealth of the 40 Church.' Pp. 6 8: 'Upon every principle of equity they [these funds] can only be applied to ecclesiastical purposes... I cannot see the justice or reasonable- ness of confining this appropriation to that part of ecclesiastical property alone, which is in the hands of the Clergy, without making a proportionate 45 reduction from that which is in lay hands. Strictly speaking, impropriate property ought to be subject to a heavier impost, because it is an income received for no service performed. If it be argued, that it is sacred to the possessors on the ground of long possession, we may reply, that ecclesias- SALE OF ADVOWSONS. TAX ON RICH LIVINGS. 955 tical property is far more so It may be said that this species of property has often since been bought and sold, and that its full value has been given for it without the contemplation of any such claim. This however can never make that rUjht which was originally icrong.... [Footnote. We may 5 observe that other landed property has been frequently bought and sold, without the contemplation of subsequent claims upon it such as the land tax itself the property tax the original and daily increasing burthen of poor rates ]. It may be said that lay rectors already contribute to ecclesiastical purposes, being burthened with the repairs of their respective I O chancels ; but so are ecclesiastical. And I must add, from long observation, that this contribution is too frequently meted out with a sparing and re- luctant hand by very extensive lay impropriators. When we further con- sider, that such impropriators generally receive the full, or nearly the full value of their tithes, without murmuring, from the tithe payers, while the 1 5 Clergy rarely receive more than about two thirds, and often less, paid grudgingly, it is surely not too much to expect that lay tithe owners should fully participate in any burthen to be laid on ecclesiastical property, even for ecclesiastical purposes. If this can be effected, a very important addition will be made to any fund which may be raised for the increase of small 20 livings, the building of glebe houses, and other ecclesiastical purposes, by any tax imposed upon ecclesiastical property.' Pp. 8, g:' 'I confess it does not appear to me to make any difference, in a moral point of view, whether the presentation to a living be sold, subject to the life of the present incumbent, or whether it be sold when actually 25 void by his death. In some respects the former seems the more immoral transaction of the two. It partakes more of the nature of gambling, inas- much as it depends more upon a calculation of chances. It gives an un- pleasant interest to the expectant, in the life of the actual incumbent, and does not appear to me defensible upon any ground of morality or religion. 30 I look upon the sale of advowsons as a great evil, but it is one inseparable from private patronage, which it may be impossible for the law entirely to remedy, but which however it might discourage, and prevent as much as possible from falling into the hands of brokers. But I cannot consider the sale of next presentations in any other light than that of aggravated 3 simony. Whether any attempt will be made in the regulation of church affairs to prevent this evil remains to be seen : I am sure it is one of those which cries loudly for reform. ' Pp. 9 12: 'With regard to the augmentation of small livings, there appears to me no way in which that measure can be brought about to any 40 substantial purpose, in any reasonable time, but by some contribution from the richer benefices towards the benefit of the poorer.... I would wish to see all livings above a certain population, or situated in towns, raised to not less than 300 a year, and in the country to not less than 200... .Leaving out therefore the Bishoprics, which however might contribute on the AC same principle to the improvement of the poorer sees, the income of which is notoriously inadequate to their support, and leaving out also Cathedral and Collegiate property, which might be employed in raising the smaller livings in their respective patronage to the same amount as is proposed by the operation of the general fund,.... I would still recur to the scale of con- 62 956 BUTLER. CHARGE (1833). TAX ON RICH LIVINGS. tribution which I endeavoured to explain in a letter which I sent for the consideration of the Clergy of this Archdeaconry in the course of last year. According to that scale I suggested, that in lieu of tenths and firstfruits, and exempting fi-om any contribution all livings under 300 a year, the remainder should pay as fol.ows' : livings of 300 a year, 1 percent; of 5 400, 2; of 500, 3; etc.; of 1200 and all above, 10. This would pro- duce clear 40,000 a year, four times the amount of Queen Anne's Bounty. ' If to this should be added a similar contribution from lay rectors, unless they chose at once to endow the vicarages on their rectories with a portion of the great tithes, so as to raise them to the sum before mentioned, ...the IO above fund, instead of having a fourfold, would probably have at least an eightfold rapidity of operation. [Footnote... It being generally agreed that some sacrifice must be made to public opinion, acting upon the principle of e malis minimum, I would take that which was likely to be efficient with the least injury, and which should comprehend all ecclesiastical property. 1 5 If the lay impropriator who receives his income and does nothing for it, raises his voice against the injustice of such a tax, how much more ma} 7 the clergy who are labourers in the vineyard!... If it be found impossible to touch lay impropriators, then I contend that church property in clerical hands must be untouched also] It is certain that several lay titl.e owners 20 would augment the vicarages in their gift, for several have declared such an intention ; and if at the same time the smaller livings in the gift of Cathedral and Collegiate bodies were raised by them to the above amount (which has actually been done in many cases within the last two years), the number of small livings remaining to be thus raised would be much 25 diminished.' Pp. 13, 14. Consolidation of livings; difficulties of; under what con- ditions practicable and beneficial. 'More summary and better defined powers should be given to the Bishop and Archdeacon, to compel repairs of glebe houses, before they fall into a state of dilapidation and decay.' 3 Pp. 14, 15 : 'Where a living of small value is held with one of greater, which is frequently the case, so far from the plurality being injurious, I believe that it is very often productive of benefit. It generally produces more good to the poor inhabitants of that parish which has the smaller living, when the incumbent is in easy circumstances, than when he is 35 barely able to maintain his own family on the scanty income of his cure. It helps to form a class of men to become, at a future period, incumbents in the Church, who are thus employed as curates... And not unfrequently it enables an incumbent to employ an assistant curate, with a larger salary than the smaller living itself would produce. I will put a case which is not 40 altogether hypothetical: a clergyman has a living of 300 a year, with considerable population, and would be glad of an assistant in the duty ; he is presented to another small living of 40 or 50 a year, with a small population : now though he could not afford to pay an assistant curate 80 a year out of his i-300, he can afford it out of his 340 or 350.' 45 Pp. 15, 16.

The bill for the better observance of the Sabbath, 'like all other measures of overstrained severity, must necessarily have created a re-action, 5 which must have defeated its own ends.' Pp. 17 19: 'The other measure [rendering unbeneficed clergymen eligible for seats in the commons' house] has not yet been brought before the House, and I see that its postponement is announced I trust never to be resumed. [Footnote, Since this Charge was delivered, the member IO for the borough of Cambridge has published a letter in the Cambridge Chronicle, kindly expressing his sense of the hardship which he thinks clergymen suffer by being unrepresented in the House of Commons, (of course unbeneficed clergymen only, on his own principle,) and declaring that he means to resume the motion at a future period. The same member has 1 - made a motion, also since the delivery of this Charge, for the exclusion of Irish Bishops from the House of Lords, in which he was supported by Mr. Hume] The next step is easy to foresee I mean the rejection of the Bishops from the House of Lords, on the ground of the Clergy being eligible to sit in the House of Commons. But supposing such a consequence not 20 to follow, what Clergyman who has a due sense of his characttr would offer himself as a candidate ?.... And how very few unbeneficed clergymen are there who possess sufficient property to give them a qualification for sitting in the House.... The only way in which they could appear there, with any semblance of dignity, would be by election, not in a popular way, but by 2C their own body, as a sort of substitute for the Convocation. But even this, could it be effected, appears to me highly objectionable. They would not be numerous enough to maintain the dignity of their order.' Pp. 1923. Tithe Commutation Bill intended ' to remove inipediments in the way of agricultural improvement, and to prevent collision and dis- ?0 putes between the clergy and their parishioners, by substituting for tithes a permanent tithe rent, in the nature of a corn rent, subject to an average to be taken every ten years, and by making the land owner, and not the occupier, the party responsible for payment. In these instances I think the Clergy will gain something in the way of peace, and something in the 35 wa y f security It is proposed,... that the average of any composition agreed on for tithes, during the last seven years, after certain deductions for outgoings, shall be considered as the fair value I could mention an instance where the compensation paid for the last seven years for tithes of the annual value of 1200 has been only 200 a year. ...I could mention AO another instance where the tithes have continued to this time at precisely the s;ime amount as they were compounded for in the year 1789.... This Bill, which professes to relieve the agriculturist from the impediment which tithes present to the application of capital for the improvement of the soil, com- pletely fulfils its object in that respect, by effectually preventing any future 45 increase in the real value of livings. For by its provisions the land owner is bound to pay only the value of a fixed number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats, as a tithe rent on his land.

I have the honour of an ad cundem D.D. degree at Oxford also.], owing to sub- scription to the Articles bt-ing required at Oxford from all students at their 45 admission. This not being requisite at Cambridge, in limine, has opened more generally the access to that University ; and, having known it above forty years, by actual residence, by frequent visits, and by constant com- munication, and that too with many of its tutors and heads of colleges, I must own, that I never knew or heard of any evil resulting from such 5 OPENING THE UNIVERSITIES TO DISSENTERS. 959 facility. The sons of Dissenters, of various denominations, have been, and now are, educated there, in the same lecture-rooms, submit to the same college discipline and regulations, and attend the same chapel service, as those whose parents are of the Established Church. I have known the 5 sons of Unitarian ministers admitted to examination for the same degree, and fairly earn the same honours, at those examinations, as the sons of clergymen of the Establishment. So far therefore we must admit, that no invidious distinctions have been made, either in the instruction given, or in the rewards allotted to those who have profited by it. But surely it seems IO absurd to say to the Dissenter, we will allow you to attend our lectures, and to undergo examination for your degree, and we will assign to you, according to your proficiency and desert, such honours as we assign to our pupils of the Established Church ; but the degree itself for which we ex- amine you shall not have, unless you will subscribe yourself a member of 15 the Church of P'ngland .... On such grounds therefore, had I been a resi- dent member of the senate, I might have been induced to sign the Cam- bridge Petition, which has been the source of so much discussion, and, I fear, of so much disunion. [Footnote. On principle, I contend for the abolition of tests for lay degrees ; on the ground of self-defence, I consider 20 it necessary that the abolition of tests should be accompanied with security to the Church against any possible mischief arising from this measure.] It is but honest to add, that the subsequent avowals on the part of our dissenting brethren, would have given me cause to repent such a proceed- ing, without having stipulated for certain restrictions, by way of security 25 to ourselves, which I should not previously have thought necessary Few of us, I presume, if desirous of information on any subject of science, would refuse to consult an able treatise, because it was written by a dissenting Master of Arts. They who are involved in law-suits, would not decline asking the opinion of an eminent lawyer, because, though distinguished by 30 the highest academical honours, he might chance to be a Dissenter. Were a man dangerously ill, he would hardly enquire who was the most orthodox physician, but who stood highest in general estimation, as best skilled in his profession. If therefore, in the most important affairs of common life, we do not refuse to trust the care of our property and persons to men of 3 c eminence in their respective professions, without nicely discriminating their religious persuasions, why should we withhold from laymen the academic honours which their talents might entitle them to claim ? . . . The petition went simply to ask the removal of subscription. It neither sought the admission of Dissenters, as such, nor a change in the college lectures or 40 discipline, nor a participation in college fellowships or emoluments. Now the real benefit of an M.A. or higher degree is, that, besides being an aca- demic distinction, and a presumption that the bearer of it has been liberally educated, it admits him in some cases to civil appointments which may be held by laymen. In this degree there are two steps, inception and creation. 45 Inception, which gives the title and general privileges, Creation, which confers the farther power of voting in the Senate. If subscription be thought necessary as a security, it still need not be required till creation. No man would then be prevented from taking his B.A. or M.A. degree, who was duly qualified by learning and compliance with the rules and 50 discipline of the University; but no man could vote in the Senate, who 960 BUTLER. CHARGE (1834). CHURCH AXD STATE. was not a member of the Established Church. For all college and uni- versity offices, and for all fellowships, subscription might still be required. Bachelors in law and physic having already the privileges of Masters of Arts, but no vote in the Senate, might proceed without subscription to the higher degree. Doctors in either, might be required to subscribe at creation 5 only. In the mean time however I must be allowed to say, that it ap- pears an act of absolute injustice to withhold our own degrees from Dis- senters, and at the same time to throw impediments in the way of their obtaining them elsewhere.' Butler's sagacity thus suggested the very compromise which is now (1S69) IO established aa law. Pp. 12 20. Dissenters avow a desire to overthrow the Church... Deeply indeed may we lament, that the spirit of conciliation with which a great number of Churchmen appear to have been influenced, has not been met by our dissenting brethren with that cordiality which might have been hoped... 15 Few, if anv, among us, were unwilling to concede to Dissenters the right of marriage, and baptism, and burial, by their own ministers, in their own cemeteries... I am aware that many of these observations are now almost or altogether superseded by the events which have taken place in the House of Commons within the last five or six days ; but I have not thought it 20 desirable to withdraw them in consequence. In truth, I was not aware of that momentous division on the Bill for admitting Dissenters to the Univer- sities, till the very instant I was proceeding to our preseut meeting... With regard to the complete separation of the Church from the State, the first step to which, as proposed by the Dissenters, is the removal of the Bishops 25 from the House of Lords, I have already stated, in a tract on the subject of Church Dignities, that the Bishops are one of the three Estates of this realm... If therefore it be possible to remove the Bishops from the House of Lords by any legal act of Parliament, it is possible by the same process to abolish the Bill of Bights, the Habeas Corpus, and every constitutional 3 provision, up to Magna Charta...I say legal Act of Parliament, because the removal of the Bishops has been once effected by an illegal act... 'The separation of the Church from the State would therefore necessarily involve the dissolution of our present constitution, by taking away an inte- gral part of it. ...And this separation of the Church from the State would 35 inevitably lead to the destruction of the Church. Not but that there would always be found ministers ready to teach under all hardships and privations; but it would be impossible, if there were no Established Church, to provide ministers in sufficient numbers to take care of the spiritual concerns of this great nation, as at present. There would bo no adequate means for their 4 support, much less for their present extensive charities ; for it may be safely affirmed that there is no parish under our present Establishment, the poor of which do not receive gome, and, in most instances, very important tem- poral, as well as spiritual assistance from the minister of their Established Church. And besides these local charities, there is no body of men who 45 contribute to the general and public charitable institutions of this kingdom, in any thing like so large a proportion as the clergy. A minister too would have much less moral influence over his flock, when voluntarily supported l'_v them, than when receiving an independent income, and himself volun- POLITICAL DISSENT. 9G1 tarily contributing to their support. In proof of this, without meaning the least offence, I might appeal to the state of those very dissenting congrega- tions, whose ministers receive a scanty allowance from them while able to serve, and who have no settled provision for times of sickness, infirmity, 5 and old age. 'But that is not all : were there no Established Church, there could be no standard of religion, if I may so express myself, by which even dissent- ing congregations might measure their own defects or proficiency ; there would be no nucleus, round which Christians might be gathered ; no cement, IO if I may so say, to hold religion together ; no food to keep it alive, and no stimulus to excite its activity Sure we may be, also, that no Established Church will be more apostolic in its doctrines, more moderate in its polity, more decmt in its ceremonies, more holy in its liturgy, or more tolerant in its practical intercourse with mankind, than our own ; and, by its faithful 1 5 sons and ministers, it will not be deserted even in its fall. No, my Reverend Brethren, we may differ in our views of what is expedient or desirable for its preservation of what we should, or what we should not, concede to its opponents ; we may differ as to the extent to which reform or change may be necessary in the laws affecting its ministers or its property ; but, in its 20 episcopal constitution, in its Trinitarian and essential doctrines, we must all agree, and by these we must stand or fall. It seemed necessary to say so much respecting the Established Church, after the avowal of the three de- nominations of Dissenters at their London conference, which amounts to a virtual declaration that they seek its dissolution ; which avowal has not 2C yet been publicly contradicted, as far as I know, by any counter declaration. But I have the satisfaction to believe, that many Dissenters hold much more moderate opinions; and a protest from the Church of Scotland, already made, to that effect, is as honorable to the members of that body, as it is consolatory to ourselves.' ^O In p. 19 is an address to the king from the archdeacon and clergy 27 June 1834, expressing their 'heartfelt gratitude for your Majesty's recent and most seasonable declaration of your fixed purp se and resolution to main- tain, in all its rights and privileges, the United Church of England and Ireland.' -? - Ibid. ' The whole body of the Established clergy have manifested a praise- worthy forbearance towards those who are opposed to them. It may fairly be said of them, as a body, that they take joy fully the spoiling of their goods, not opposing laws by which they must lie severe lostrs, if only occasions of quarrel and discontent can thereby be taken away.' m In the Cambr. Chron. 31 Oct. 1834 p. 2, is a letter from Dr. Butler re- specting Coleridge. A charge delivered to the clergy of the archdeaconry of Derby, at the visita- tions at Derby and Chesterfield, June 1$. and 26. 1835. By the Rev. S. Butler, D.D. F.R.S. educated under private tutors and in private schools, until, on his admission to St John's as pensioner on Catton's side 31 May 1798, 'he found that he had to begin his course of study almost from the 10 very foundations. Of Greek he was entirely, of Latin almost entirely, ignorant ; and of mathematics he knew only what he had acquired at one of the private schools where he had been placed when quite a child. ... He acquainted himself with the classical languages sufficiently for com- mon purposes, and in mathematics he made such proficiency as to appear as j e [16th and last] wrangler in . . 1802. To Cambridge, in this respect, he always looked back with gratitude as the source to which he owed all the real education that he had enjoyed ; and many years afterwards he sent a brief but spirited statement of his own experience of its benefits to a provincial journal, in reply to the well-known attack on that university by Mr. 20 [R. M.] Beverley in 1834. / can never be sufficiently grateful for the benefits I received within those college walls; and to the last hour of my life 1 shall feel a deep sense of thankfulness to those tutors and authorities for the effects of that discipline and invaluable course of study which rescued me from ignorance, and infused an abiding thirst for knowledge, the means of in- 2 c tellectual enjoyment, and those habits and principles which have not only been an enduring source of personal gratification, but tended much to qualify me ... for peiforming the duties of an extensive parish.' After taking his degree he travelled for a year in Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and returned to command the Alderley Volunteers ^ Q at the time of the expected invasion. He was afterwards curate of Wind- lesham in Surrey; in 1805 he was presented to the family living of Alderley; and in 1810 married Catherine, daughter of Oswald Leycester, rector of Stoke-upon-Tern, by whom he had five children. The parish had been greatly neglected. ' The clerk used to go to the -j r churchyard stile to see whether there were any more coming to church, for there were seldom enough to make a congregation.' Stanley was charged with Methodism ' for the discharge of duties which would now be deemed too common to deserve notice.' In his school gymnastic apparatus was seen suspended from the roof; at a lecture in Chester he exhibited a hortus aq siccus of plants found in his parish by a school-girl. He taught English history ami geography in his school, and had half-yearly examinations on the model of the college examinations, in which the children brought up a chapter of the New Testament learnt by heart, and one or more books of the Bible of which the substance was to bo acquired in answer to Scrip- ac turn! Questions published for the puq>ose [Series of Questions on the Bible. 1815. 1 into.]. The rectory was the p.irish home, where blanketing, cloth- ing etc. were sold below cost price; in the winter evenings he lent out books; he established weekly cottage lectures at different points of the parish. BISHOP OF NORWICH (1837). OGo Thus, whereas in 1806 the communicants seldom, if ever, exceeded 30 or 40 ; a few scholars only were irregularly taught in small rooms ; no Sunday schools existed, and many homes had no Bible: in 1831 the average number of communicants was 100, and nearly 200 communicated 5 in the course of the year; there were 4 or 5 day schools with above 250 children, rather more than \ of the population; the average attendance at the Sunday school was 200. Stanley printed or lithographed addresses to his parishioners on the Observance of the Sabbath, on Prayer, on Sickness and on Confirmation. IO He set up placards in the public-houses, containing simple exhortations to a sober and religious life; and others on the walls, denouncing the vice of drunkenness. He personally interfered to separate prize-fighters, and put a stop to the practice. His chief studies were church history, scripture, ornithology, entomo- 15 logy, mineralogy. In 1836 he published for the S. P. C. K. A familial' history of birds, their nature, habits and instincts. 1 vols. F2ino. He supported infant schools, temperance societies, mechanics' insti- tutes and statistical societies ; wrote a history of Alderley ; contributed to periodicals results of his studies or accounts of his summer excursions ; 20 was appointed V. P. of the British Association in 1836. In 1829, just before the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief bill, he wrote A few words in behalf of our Roman Catholic brethren. In 1 831 he was one of about 40 clergymen of the diocese who petitioned for the reform of pluralities, non-residence etc. After a tour in Ireland in 1835 he pub- 25 lished A feio observations on religion and education in Ireland, 1836, a pamphlet which passed through two editions. In the early numbers of the British Magazine he refuted exaggerated reports of the wealth and inefficiency of the parochial clergy. In 1837, after having refused the offer of the see of Manchester, he 30 accepted from lord Melbourne that of Norwich and was consecrated at Lambeth 11 June (Stubbs 129). Touched by the grief of his parishioners at his loss, he undertook to pay them a yearly visit. He wrote in his journal respecting his preferment : ' I accepted it with a determination not to make it a source of profit to myself or patronage for others, it being -5 c my unshaken determination to expend not only the whole . . emoluments on the d.ocese, but the greater part of my private fortune also, saving little or nothing more than it was my wish to do at Alderley: that, with regard to patronage, no motives of private interest, or mere connexion or formal friendship, should sw;iy me in giving preferments.' 40 Bp. Bathurst, his predecessor, died at the age of 93, and his concep- tion of his duties found apt expression in the complaint: / have served the Whigs all my life: and now they send me down a canon who doesn't know clubs from spades 1 . Non-residence; pluralities; service once a week, some- times only once a fortnight ; careless admission to orders ; imperfect ad- 45 ministration of the rites of baptism and burial; these abuses and such as these had rendered the diocese of Norwich a byword for laxity. 1 For this anecdote Dr. Stanley is not responsible ; but I have it on good authority. 966 STANLEY. REFORMS IN HIS DIOCESE. Bp. Stanley laid aside his scientific pursuits, continuing only a journal of meteorological and atmospheric phenomena; continued his studies in ecclesiastical history and systematic divinity ; resumed Greek. His cor- respondence was systematically registered and preserved ; ' all anonymous letters carefully closed as soon as opened, but kept unread to verify the 5 handwritings of their respective authors.' 'By careful enforcement of the Plurality and Non-residence Acts, ioo additional parsonage houses were erected by the seventh year of his episcopate, and by the twelfth year 173. The performance of morning and evening prayer every Sunday he required from existing incumbents IO by circulars and individual remonstrances from fresh incumbents by pro- mises exacted at their institution ; and thus conferred upon the parishes under his charge 347 additional services.' ' The thought of screening ' vicious clergymen ' to avoid scandal to the church was utterly unknown to him.' The cost and anxiety of some pro- 1 5 secutions of scandalous clerks was very heavy. Once his clergy collected a sum towards 'the costs incurred, which he accepted, but only to transfer it to the fund of the widows and orphans of clergy at Ipswich.' He found confirmations septennial, and made them annual, multiplying the stations, so that no children should be required to journey more than four miles. 20 He addressed the workhouse children individually, and forwarded ' to each a bible and prayer-book, in which the name of the child, the date of the confirmation, with the words Remember the day, and the donor of the book, w r ere written with his own hand.' The contrast between his earlier and later confirmations, as regards the appearance and demeanour of the 25 children, was very striking. Among the means for the improvement of his diocese are recorded, his care in examinations for orders, the solemnity of the occasion, the institu- tion of 70 rural deans, who met annually at the palace, his visits to each parish in the diocese, and personal interest in the children and villagers who 3 came in his way. He found the palace dilapidated, but refused a country residence. 'A bishop should always be at his post in the chief city of the diocese.' He made himself master of the antiquities and statistics of Norwich ; became patron of its institutions; entertained distinguished guest* and societies. 35 He decorated the interior of the cathedral by the relics of the coronation service or royal chapels, which he claimed as Clerk of the Closet. ' His gift of the central compartment of the eastern window was the first beginning of a systematic attempt to repair the destruction of the painted glass during the ravages of the civil wars . . . He always took much 4 interest in the welfare of the little choristers. On the mornings of Sun- day he filled his place in the cathedral. The afternoons he devoted to visiting in rotation the different churches in the city . . He seldom al- lowed business to interfere with his daily attendance at the morning service of the cathedral.' 45 ' On the week-days he usually employed his afternoon walks for two principal objects, . . the schools and the poor. The schools, whether belonging to the establishment or to the dissenters, he visited in succession, examining the children, and noticing any defects or excellences that RELATIONS WITH DISSENTERS. 9G7 struck him in their management ... At the infant schools . . . the sugar- plums for the little ones were always brought; and when in their daily exercises and singing they marched round the school, he would some- times himself take one of them by the hand, and join the little procession.' 5 He procured volunteer teachers for the workhouse children, and himself took a class the first evening. ' His chief support [to the poor] was given through a large saving club, organised and conducted by his eldest daughter, by which 1500 of the poorest class were enabled both to receive assistance and to help them- IO selves at the same time. To . . . the District Visiting Society, the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, the Blind Asylum, he lent a powerful aid.' His advocacy of the new poor-law, and opposition to Chartist dema- gogues subjected him to much insult. When a Chartist mob occupied the cathedral in 1839, 'he undertook, in place of the usual preacher, to 15 expostulate with them strongly and severely.' The poor 'often spoke of his being a gentleman and used to observe the way in which he acknowledged the bow of the poorest man who passed him in the streets, and of the attention which he shewed to their little wants and matters of business.' Curates ' never mentioned the name of 20 any sick poor, but he visited or relieved them that very day, or as soon after as possible. He prayed and read with them, and,' they added, ' talked with them, just as if he was any poor man himself, he was so very humble.' For three months in the year he resided in London, and this residence 25 ' was perhaps the hardest portion of his annual labours.' 'In all the various questions where politics and theology cross one another, he took the side of free and comprehensive, instead of precise and exclusive views.' ' Nonconformity, as such, he never could regard as a sin. It was ob- 30 servable how marked a stress he always laid on the words of the cathedral bidding prayer which enjoins a supplication for the whole congregation of Christian people dispersed throughout the world . . . Bible Societies, City Missions, British and Foreign Schools, Irish National Education any- thing which brought together the different sects of Christians on some 3 c general and neutral ground, . . . had an attraction for him from that point of view over and above their intrinsic merits. The opportunity . . which the Bible Society afforded of meeting with the dissenting ministers in Norwich, was one of which he gladly availed himself; and on that oc- casion he always received them at his table, and conversed with them 40 as freely as with his own clergy. Such too were the chief occasions on which he came forward in debates in the house of lords ... The earliest and most successful of his speeches was in defence of the Irish national edu- cation in 1838 ; another in behalf of the government scheme of education in 1839; a third in 1840, on subscription ; . . a fourth on the endowment ak of Maynooth, in 1842; a fifth on the Dissenters' Chapels Bill.' In the controversy which agitated the National Society in 1839 he opposed the un- conditional enforcement of the catechism in all schools. In his sermon at his installation, on behalf of the various church societies of Norwich, he advocated tolerance of dissent (as not involving of necessity 968 STANLEY. INSTALLATION SEJOION". C. N. WODEHOUSE. the guilt of schism) and the combination of secular with religious instruc- tion. A general election was just over ; and there was a cry that the Wbig3 intended to introduce a system of education without religion. A Conservative clergyman in proposing the bishop's health omitted to request the publication of his sermon ; the Whig champion commented on the 5 omission, and a general uproar ensued. Stanley ' himself sat unmoved throughout the clamour of the meeting, and afterwards wrote to one of the keenest of his advocates among the liberal journals, insisting on a retrac- tation of a coarse invective against the clergyman chiefly concerned in opposition to his views.' The sermon was printed at the request of the IO civic authorities; the whole impression sold immediately; and for some time the London journals discussed ' the heretical sermon of a liberal bishop,' or the ' gross outrage upon the bishop of Norwich.' In 1838 he and another bishop subscribed to a volume of sermons about to be published by an acquaintance, a unitarian minister of Newcastle 15 uponTyne, as a celebration of the 57th anniversary of his ministerial duties. Stanley's stipulation that his name should not be published was neglected, and the transaction was caught up as a new proof of his heterodoxy. In 1844, when he preached the annual sermon before the S. P. G., he disavowed the doctrine of apostolical succession. At the civic banquet 2 thanks were returned by the lord mayor ' for the boldest sermon that had ever been delivered in St Paul's'; but the committee broke through their rule of requesting its publication in the report for the year. It was pub- lished separately with notes and testimonies of Anglican divines. Disputes about vestments, postures and the like, he dismissed summarily 25 with contempt; but protected the high church clergy in their strict ob- servance of the rubrics. In May 1 840 a petition was presented to the lords, set on foot by canon C. N. Wodehouse of Norwich, and signed by 60 members of the church of England, praying that ' the letter of the Prayer-Book and the subscription to 3 the articles and liturgy might be rendered consistent with the practice of the clergy and the achioicledgcd meaning of the church.... The debate which fol- lowed was the first of the kind which had taken place in either house . . since 1772.' Bp. Kaye declared that Wodehouse's scruples (respecting the damnatory clauses of the Athanasian creed, the literal application of 35 Jo. XX. 22, 23, in the ordination service, to the order of presbyters, and the absolution in the service for the Visitation of the Sick) were no bar to ordination. Abp. Rowley and bp. Blomfield attacked the petition, which was defended by Stanley, who afterwards printed his speech 'with notes, to vindicate it from the strong language witli which it had been assailed by 4 those who, in the heat of debate, forgot that they had themselves expressed similar sentiments elsewhere.' When in i^^fy Stanley offered canon Wodehouse the archdeaconry of Norfolk, some clergymen petitioned him to cancel the appointment. 'He refused to take the memorial into consideration until the memorialists 45 should explicitly declare in what sense each severally understood the pas- sages in the liturgy to which the archdeacon elect had objected. This they declined to do, and the bishop persevered in his course,' but found ARNOLD. J. J. GURNEY. 9G9 himself precluded by law from offering the archdeaconry to any incumbent in his dioce.se. With the high church party he advocated open sittings and the artistic decoration of churches. After his death a high church clergyman ex- 5 claimed, He was the only real Liberal I ever hicit: He encouraged the mechanics' institutes at Norwich and Yarmouth, the museums of Norwich and Ipswich. In London he entertained the members of the Linnsean society, of which in 1838 he had been elected president. He often presided at temperance meetings, advocated the improvement IO of lodging-houses, and was the first bishop who took an interest in Ragged Schools. Arnold's name was still a byword of reproach with church parties, when Stanley nominated him to preach his consecration-sermon. Abp. Howley, the incarnation of that caution which often is more hurtful than any im- / 15 prudence, intimated that the choice would be so very ill received by the clergy in general, that it could not be allowed. Stanley afterwards pro- cured for Arnold from lord Melbourne the offer of the wardenship of Manchester; and followed his body to the grave at Rugby. When Father Mathew came to Norwich in 1843, ne was entertained at 20 the palace, and the bishop shocked protestant prejudice by appearing with him on the platform. When Jos. Jo. Gurney died suddenly, Stanley was in London, but he wrote a funeral sermon in the intervals of business, which he delivered the following Sunday in the crowded cathedral. ' So public a recognition 25 of the worth of one who, with all his excellences, was still an unbaptised Quaker, was sufficiently marked to call down praise or censure, as the case might be, from various parties in the church ; and it was asserted at the time, probably with truth, that no such testimony had been rendered by any prelate to any member of that sect since its first foundation.' 30 The neutral ground of art, science and genius, Stanley endeavoured to consecrate and purify. He sought an introduction to Macready on hearing of his reform of the Covent Garden theatre ; and gave some offence by entertaining Jenny Lind as his guest in 1847 an 'l 1848. All his life he loved the sea and seemed a born sailor. He was in his 35 element when speaking of the Yarmouth Life-boats, or of the heroism of Sir James Brooke; and wrote, after preaching to a crew of near 1000 men on board H. M. S. the Queen : / spoke to them for about half cm hour without book-, and you might have heard a pin fall, they were so attentive, anil many of them were much affcctid. A q The spring of 1S49 he spent in London, in his usual avocations, nor could he be persuaded to decline engagements which were manifestly beyond his strength: It is beVcr, he said, to wear out than to rust out. In July he spent three weeks in Norwich, attending the meeting of the Agricultural Society, and holding an ordination. He then consented to 45 take a short tour in Scotland, the third in which he indulged during the 12 years of his episcopate. At Brahan castle co. Ross, after he had ex amined a Highland school, a pain in the head made it necessary to delay his return. On 3 Sept. his mind began to wander ; on ' the 4th he rose 970 STANLEY. DEATH AND FUNERAL (1849). apparently refreshed ; he begged to have a passage of scripture read to him ; and after having listened attentively to the words in 2 Cor., which describe the perishing of the outward man and the dissolution of the earthly tabernacle, he said, in his usual manner w r hen in deep thought, Let me hear them again.' On attempting to cross the room he staggered and fell into a 5 deep sleep : there was congestion of the brain. Among his wandering words were these, Then I shall be within reach of Norwich, to return for the cholera ; and these, telling how he was engrossed by the concerns even of small parishes, If there are but twenty, they ought to have their double service. He died on the night of 6 Sept. IO His remains were conveyed by sea to Yarmouth, and interred in his cathedral 21 Sept., under a black marble slab amidst the mourning of the diocese which he had animated, the city which he had served, the poor whom had visited, the schools which he had fostered, and of all Christian people, with whom, howsoever divided, he had joined in whatsoever things were true 15 and honest and just and pure and lovely and of good report (Epitaph). Of his funeral Prof. Sedgwick wrote at the time : ' It was the most touching and striking ceremonial I ever witnessed. The mayor and cor- poration in their civic dresses, covered with crape, led the way. Then fol- lowed the coffin and pall-bearers then the family and mourners... About 20 400 clergymen, in full robes, followed. And lastly a great multitude of the respectable inhabitants in the city and neighbourhood... On each side of the central aisle of the nave 1100 children from the different schools of the city were arranged in triple rows. The members of the corporation descended through the nave to the choir, followed by the choristers in 25 surplices and scarfs, chanting a psalm.... We returned to the grave in the centre of the nave, keeping the same order as before, the organ pealing the solemn Dead March in Saul. At the grave side the choristers sang a solemn dirge, and then the concluding service was read by the dean. There were thousands in the cathedral. All parts of the triforium were filled. 30 The organ gallery was covered with spectators ; all were in mourning ; many were deeply affected. Many thousand eyes were dim with tears, and you could hear the modest and half concealed sobs of the little children as you passed down the nave; for the bishop had visited all the schools again and again, and was loved by the children ; and it was at his request, expressed 35 in a written paper found in his study after his death, that they were all invited.' Another spectator noticed in the palace garden 'the perfect fusion . . of parties of all opinions, both in church principles and political differences. Some of all stations in society, not attending so much officially as individually, because (as I verily believe) they each felt that they had 40 lost a personal friend.' Mr Edwin Sidney observed 'ministers of every denomination in the city.' At the grave ' all were unmanned. The poor chorister boys, often caressed by their dear bishop, could hardly utter the notes for sobbing. The girls of Miss Stanley's school, in deep mourning, stood behind me weeping.' ac ' Soon after entering upon his diocese, he preached a sermon, on national education, which gave considerable offence to his clergy ; this he afterwards printed with notes and explanations. He also some time ago incurred censure for patronizing the work of a Socinian author; but justi- fied himself on the score of personal acquaintance with the writer. He 50 THO. CAKR, BP.

U71 appears to be very liberal in his politics, and a staunch supporter of the present (1840) administration; but to the best of my present knowledge, he is a courteous, agreeable man, and well liked in his diocese ' (Charles Yate, 1840). 5 ' The bishop seems to be anxious for the spiritual improvement of his diocese, in which a great improvement seems to have taken place in the regular performance of the church service. Whereas in 1805, out of 917 parishes, only 40 had double duty; in 1838 the number had increased to 200 ; and in 1842 the number had still further increased to near 400 (Report 10 of speech ofbp. of Norwich at meeting of Church Pastoral Aid Society) . . . The bishop has revived the office of rural dean in his diocese ; and in the spring of 1842 issued instructions for their guidance ' (Charles Yate, 1842 or Liter).

Born in Yorkshire, entered sizar on Wood's side 10 June 1809, set. 21, B.A. 1S13 ; D.D. Lambeth 12 Sept. 1832 (Gent. Mag. June 1864, 771, July 1S64, 90). 40 ' H. H. Hughes, rector of Layham, co. Suffolk, and formerly tutor of St. John's college, has supplied me with the following anecdote of bp. Carr, which is highly to his credit : ' The Rev. Fearon Fallows, fellow of St. John's college and afterwards astronomer royal at the Cape of Good Hope, was a common friend of Mr. 45 Carr and Mr. Hughes. Fallows was of humble parentage and very poor, and at one time so straitened, as to be almost under the necessity of retiring from college. At this time he received an anonymous letter enclosing money, which enabled him to continue there ; the writer stating, that if Fallows was successful in his college career, he would let him know who 63 972 THO. CARR, RECTOR OF BATH. JAMES BOW STEAD, sent the money, and require repayment. Fallows in time obtained a fellow- ship, and then Mr. Carr (who had been his unknown friend) demanded repayment. Mr. Hughes had the information from Mr. Fallows himself, so that there can be no doubt of the truth of the story ' (Charles Yate. See a life of Fearon Fallows, privately printed by the Rev. E. Bushby). 5 Carr married on Thursday 19 May 1814 Elizabeth eldest daughter of Mr. Farish, surgeon in Cambridge (Cambr. Chron. 20 May 1814); she died on her passage homewards from Bombay on board the Marquis of Hastings, when he was E. I. C. chaplain at Bombay (ibid. 6 May 1825). He was consecrated 19 Nov. 1837, at Lambeth (Stubbs) ; returned to IO England in 1849 (Cambr. Chron. 1 Dec. 1849), resigned his bishopric in 185 1 in consequence of ill health, and was appointed in 1854 rector of St. Peter and St. Paul with St. James, Bath, by Simeon's trustees. He died at Bath on Monday 5 Sept. 1859, a ' ; n ' s residence in Lansdown crescent (Cambr. Indep. Press, 10 Sept. 1859). I 5 ' During the five years he had resided there [at Bath], he. ..won and retained the esteem of all who came within the sphere of his ministry. Dr. Carr continued in his usual good health, and zealously discharged his oner- ous duties, until about three weeks ago, when he was seized with para- lysis, which rendered him completely prostrate. Feeling that he had 20 finished the work appointed for him to do on earth, his lordship imme- diately resigned his living, and though the hand of death lay heavily upon him, he waited his period of dissolution with that calmness and serenity which had ever marked his career through life. His lordship's high social position never withdrew him from a familiar personal intercourse with his 25 parishioners ; and it must now be recorded of him, that as he was univer- sally beloved in this city, his loss is now universally regretted ' (Gent. Mag. Oct. 1859, p. 427). James Bowstead, bishop of Sodor and Man, and Lichfield.

His character was IO generally respected in the university both for principle and ability. He warmly supported lord Palmerston and Mr. Cavendish (now earl of Bur- lington), who were ejected from the representation of the university at the general election in 1831, during the agitation of the reform bill; and it is generally supposed that the interest of the former, as a minister of the 15 crown, procured him his advancement to a bishopric, as a reward for his uniform support of the Whig cause in the university' (Charles Yate). He was examining chaplain to Joseph Allen as bp. of Bristol (Cambr. Citron. 2 Jan. 1835), and afterwards of Ely, who presented him to Ret- tendou rectory (ibid. 30 Sept. 1837). He was consecrated at Lambeth 20 22 July 1S38 (ibid. 28 July 1838; Hardy's Lc Acre, III. 329; Stubbs); the congratulatory address of his college and his reply may be seen in Cambr.

' At a meeting of the diocesan church building society, held at Shrewsbury soon after his translation to Lichfield, Dr. Bowstead liber- ally subscribed 500, at a time when he probably could ill afford it . . . 30 Since his translation [he] has had so bad health, as to be almost incapaci- tated from discharging his episcopal duties. His health is now (Apr. 1843) said to be improving' (CHARLES Yate). 'He immediately entered upon the important duties of that extensive dio- cese with great zeal and activity, combined with such ability and unaffected 35 kindness of manner as at once secured him the great regard of his numerous clergy. ' In the midst of lu3 usefulness, it pleased God suddenly to visit him with severe bodily affliction, which for the last two years of his life prevented his taking any active part in the administration of his diocese. The closing 4 scene of the bishop's life was attended by severe suffering, which was borne with the greatest patience and resignation to the Divine will. He died in the expressed hope of a jojful resurrection. . . . ' The late bp. . . . was a man of great intellectual powers, united with the most persevering industry.

' On his elevation to a bishoprick Dr. Pepys necessarily (under the late act) vacated his livings, and there was some doubt whether they lapsed to the crown (the patronage of the st.e of Sodor and Man having been bought by government in 1825). Counsel's opinion was taken by lady Mexbo- 30 rough, daughter of the late earl of Hardwicke, and a caveat lodged with the bp. of London. The college also had some such intention. But it was discovered that bps. Hildersley and Murray had held livings with this see in commendam from the crown. The right of the crown being thus consi- dered to be manifest, the caveat was withdrawn ; whereupon the college 35 decided upon taking no farther steps towards securing the next presenta- tion ' (CHAS.

CAMBRIDGE LIFE (184-1 53). 077 Charles Frederick Mackenzie, missionary bishop. Conse- crated 1 Jan. 1SG1. Youngest child of the late Colin M. esq. of Harcus cottage, Portmore, Peebleshire; born io April, 1825; educated by his eldest sister, then at 5 Edinburgh, first at a private school, afterwards at the Academy; in 1840 he was sent to the Grange school near Sunderland, under Dr. Cowan. In October 1844 he came into residence at St. John's, but finding that he wa3 not eligible to a fellowship, migrated to Caius in the Easter term of 1845. Second wrangler (Mr. Todhunter being first) in 1848, when Caius college IO had nine wranglers and celebrated its 500th anniversary. While he resided as lecturer of his college, he undertook the management of a Sunday school, took an active part in the working of a mendicity society and of the Cam- bridge industrial school, and served as secretary to the Cambridge board of education (4 May 1854 till his departure for Africa). He was ordained 15 deacon on Trinity Sunday 185T, and in the October term of that year took a curacy at Haslingfield, which he continued to hold with his lectureship ; ordained priest 19 Sept. 1852: examiner 1852, senior moderator 1853 and 1854- On the 23 Apr. 1853 he wrote to a sister, stating the origin of his pur- 20 pose to devote himself to mission work. 'A friend of mine, called Jackson [John Stuart Jackson, Cai., B.A. 1851, 5th wrangler], my junior by three years, has been induced to undertake the position of chief of a new mission at Delhi When Jackson came to Cambridge a month or two ago, to try and find a colleague, I thought once or twice, why should not / go, but 25 said nothing to him, as 1 thought that would be unfair before I was more definite myself ' But on Thursday Jackson came again and we chatted quietly about his prospects, and the opening there was, and how he wished he could find some one; and after he left me I read a bit of Henry Martyn's life before 30 he left England ; and I determined for the first time, and prayed God to help me, to think what was best to be done, and to do it. I thought chiefly of the command, Go and baptize all nations, and how some one ought to go: and I thought how in another world one would look back and rejoice at having seized this opportunity of taking the good news of the Gospel to 35 those who had never heard it, but for whom as well as for us Christ died. I thought of the Saviour sitting in heaven and looking down upon tlm world, and seeing us who have heard the news, selfishly keeping it to our- selves, and only one or two, or eight or ten, going out in the year to preach to His other sheep, who must be brought, that there may be one fold and 40 one shepherd: and I thought if other men would go abroad, then I might stay at home; but as no one, or so few, would go out, then it was the duty of every one that could go to go. You see I thought of the pleasure and the duty, and I think they were both cogent reasons ' I thought too of Jackson, and how disheartening it was for him, his 45 first friend leaving him, and every one else saying, / wish I could find some one to go with you, but no one thinking of going ; and I thought, what right have I to say to young men here, you had better go out to India, wdien I am hugging myself in my comfortable place at home ' I took a long walk that day, and thought it well over, and made up my 978 MACKENZIE. MOTIVES FOR LEAVING ENGLAND. mind that God would approve of the change, that Christ would ap- prove, and that the Holy Spirit would help me in it. I thought my dear mother would have smiled through her tears at the plan, if she had still lived, and that she would now rejoice without grief.... I thought too of my work here as lecturer, and arranged in my mind who there was that would 5 take my place. If there had been no one, there is a kind of college spirit that would have urged me to stay here. ' I thought of my future prospects, and saw that by keeping my fellow- ship I should have nearly 200 a year besides the salary of the society, which would be I suppose between 100 and 200; this would be more 10 than enough for me there ; and I should either stay there for the rest of my life, or, if compelled to return, should have my offer of a college bring to fall back upon And all that I have had to think of these last few days ha3 been, whether there was anything peculiar in my own case that should prevent me from going. And I freely confess I can see nothing except my 15 own unfitness. 1 am rather afraid of my own instability and want of method and perseverance, habits which have been increasing with me of late. I am rather afraid of their injuring the cause I am going to under- take. But at the same time I hope that the having one main object in life may assist in steadying me : at present I have scores of interests all claim- 20 ing attention. And I do trust that if I go forth boldly trusting in God, He will not fail to help me.' Again, to the same sister, 25 Apr. 1852: 'The only thing that seems deficient is my own religion, which I know is very weak : in that I seriously think I am far inferior to many others who might go out. But all I can 25 say is, if no one else will go, I shall be better than nothing.... I heard a sermon last night upon the text, If amy man will come after me, Id him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.' By the advice of Mr. Harvey Goodwin and Mr.W. Hopkins he ultimately declined the Delhi mission. 30 In the spring of 1854 bishops Colenso and Selwyn arrived in England. Bp. Colenso, who had published Ten weeks in Xatal, proposed to Mackenzie to go out to Natal as archdeacon ; and in November bp. Selwyn preached 4 sermons in the university pulpit, afterwards printed : The Work of Christ in the World. > - Mackenzie wrote to his sister : 'My positive reasons are simply that there is difficulty in getting men to go out; and I have no reason to give against going; therefore I ought to go. Like labourers in a field, each should go where he is most wanted. I look upon Goodwin's approval as most im- portant. He was so strong against the other, that his sincerity and disin- 40 terestedness are proved.' On 1 1 Dec. Mackenzie wrote once more to his sister: ' I have reconsidered my decision about Natal. T have offered to go with the bp. in the capacity he proposed before, and have been accepted. So now the whole thing is fixed, and I shall sail with him in February. Soon after coming to the 45 determination of staying here, I began to doubt the Tightness of that con- clusion, and then bp. Selwyn, of New Zealand, preached in the university pulpit in November, and he revived in my mind the conviction, that a man's going from home is like a branch being cut from a tree to be planted some- IN NATAL (18548). 979 where else, and that the other branches will spread, and very soon no gap will be seen.' Same day, to another sister : ' It is only proposed that I should go out for five years, hut though of course I may come home before that time, or 5 after it, yet I have at present no intention of coming back, except perhaps for a short visit.' It was arranged that an invalid sister should accompany him. The party set out in the barque Jane Moricc, from Liverpool, 7 March 1854; the bp. and his family, the archdeacon and his sister, two clergymen, IO a German professor of languages [Dr. Bleek], several missionary ladies, two cateckists, a farmer and his wife, a few labourers and mechanics and several boys, including one from the industrial school, who when asked whether he would he willing to go, replied at once, 0, I would go anywhere with Mr. Mackenzie. ' The last thing,' says dean Goodwin* 15 'which caught my eye was the happy countenance of the boy from the Cambridge industrial school, who was eating an orange with all the appear- ance of entire absence of care.' The admirable master of the industrial school speaks with enthusiasm of Mackenzie, and shews letters received from this boy. 20 The Jane Morice arrived at Durban harbour 20 May 1S55, and Mackenzie took that town as his first charge. There he remained nearly 18 months. An attempt to introduce the offertory led to a schism. On 3 May 1856 he writes : ' I am holding service in a large building hired and licensed for the purpose, while one of the churchwardens encourages a service read, by his 2 s directions, by a layman in S. Paul's church.' During the time that Durban was his head-quarters, he spent much time abroad, at the CJmlazi mission station ; in journeys to Pietermaritzburg and to the outlying parts of the colony, where there was no resident clergyman. At the end of 1856 he gave up the cure of Durban into other hands; and 30 in April 1857 settled with two sisters at the Umhlali, about 40 miles N. of Durban. There he had five services on Sunday, one of them 18 m. from another. English soldiers and white children, as well as Kafirs, were under his charge. In a church synod 10 Apr. 1858 he with some others upheld the right of 3 c native congregations to equal representation with the whites. On 3 June 185S ho wrote to a college friend on the appointment of a chaplain to the college servants (Memoir p. 187). On 4 Dec. 1857 Dr. Livingstone delivered a lecture in the senate-house on his African travels, and ended with the words : ' Do you carry out the 40 work which I have begun. I leave it with you.' The hint was acted on, and the 'Oxford and Cambridge mission to Central Africa 1 ' planned. Mackenzie left Natal in June 1859, at a time when bp. Colenso inteuded to resign his post in Natal, and to go as a missionary bp. to the Zulus. Mackenzie was present in the senate house at the ' Great Zambesi meet- ac ing,' which was addressed by the bp. of Oxford, Sir Geo. Grey and Mr. Glad- 1 A. V. Hadley, senior wrangler in 1856, afterwards tutor of St. John's, and commemorated by a window in the new chapel, laboured with charac- teristic ardour as secretary to this mission. 080 MACKENZIE.

During the remainder of 1859 and i860 Mackenzie was engaged in travel- ling for the S.P.G. and for his own mission. Lord Brougham spoke on 5 behalf of the new effort for African emancipation at three public meetings, at Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, 23, 24 and 25 May i860. Mackenzie left Plymouth with a mission party 6 Oct. i860, and was con- secrated by the bishops of Cape Town, Natal and St. Helena on Newyears day 1 861. After an eventful year of mission work on the Shire he died IO 31 Jan. 1862. See Memoir of bishop Mackenzie. By Harvey Goodwin, D.D. dean of Ely. Cambridge: Deighton, Bell, and co.

FRANCIS TURNER, TWENTY-THIRD MASTER, Admitted Apr. 11, 1G70. Francis Turner 1 was the eldest son of Dr. Thomas Turner, dean of Canterbury and residentiary of St. Paul's : received his schole learn- ing at Winchester, and from thence came off to New college, where he became fellow: took his B.A. Degree on Apr. 14, 1G5J), and M.A. 5 in Hidn : in which last he was incorporated at Cambridge Febr. 1G, 1GG-4: about which time he removed to St. John's college, where he was admitted fellow commoner May 8, 1GG6, being attracted hither by the friendship of Dr. Gunning ; and probably with the hopes of succeeding him in the mastership. On July G, 1GG9, he commenced io B.D. and D.D. and in the following December- was collated to the prebend of Sneating in St. Paul's cathedral. On the promotion of Dr. Gunning to the see of Chichester, ho succeeded him in the mas- tership of this college, to which he was elected and admitted Apr. 11, 1G70. which was the more agreable to him, as he had been adnrit- ig ted to the rectory of Therfield in Hartfordshire on Dec. 20, 1G64 : and being in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, the division of his time, between the studies of the university and the retirement of the country, made them both the more amusing. In 16S3 3 , he was made dean of Windsor, and the same year was promoted to the see 20 of Rochester, being consecrated on Nov. II 4 , and the next year, Aug. 23, on the death of bp. Gunning, was translated to Ely 5 . He had 1 Arms, Argent, a Lion rampant between three crosses moline Gules. v. my vol. 57. p. 374. 2 [7 Dec.

Herbert Croft's Naked Truth, against which he had written, and by that means fell under the lash of that bitter republican, Andrew Marvell, who published tins hook against him : 5 Mr. Smirke: or the Divine in Mode: being certain Annota- tions upon the Animadversions on The naked Truth.

In 16S4, Dec. 4, he preached the sermon before the Sons of io the Clergy, on Gen. 18, v. 19, which he printed in 4to. next year at London. On the accession of his great patron, king James II. to the throne, lie was pitched upon to preach the coronation sermon at West- minster, Apr. 23, 1GS.5, hefcre their majesties, on 1 Chron. 29, v. 23, 15 and printed in 4to. at London the same year. The following year he printed at Cambridge in 4to. what is well worth perusing, A Letter to the CI erg g of the Diocese of Ely, from the Bp. of Ely, before and preparatory to his Visitation. Cambridge, 4to. lGi>G. 20 In order to blacken a worthy character, the trade of malevolence, the vile author of the History of Stuarts, p. 337, Oldmixon, says, That Dr. Turner took not only a degree, but the covenant, during the usurpation ; as did bps. Sprat, Cumberland, &c. In this &c. he does not mean to involve bps. "Wilkins and Tillotson, with many 25 others of his favorites : who not only took the covenant, and other men's property, but were allied to and connected with the usurper. It is dubious with me, whether Dr. Turner ever took the covenant : if he did, the more shame for those that imposed it. Tho' he was indebted to the duke of York for most of his prefer- 30 ments, yet on the accession of that prince to the throne, he was too true to the church of which he was one of the pillars, to 3 betray its interests : and was one of the seven bishops with archbishop Kandcroft, who on May 18, 1688, petitioned his majesty not to bo obliged to cause their clergy to read in their churches the declara- 35 tion for liberty of conscience '. This petition, being stiled a libel, tho bps. were sent to the Tower on June 8 : but were publicly acquitted on trial on the 30 of the same month. However, at the revolution, he, with many others of his brethren the bps. and clergy, out of a conscientious regard to their allegiance, oaths and 40 constitution, refused to own the new government: and refusing to apprehend, I sent him no small share of the materials for that history. [See Hardy's Le Neve, 1. 345]. 1 [Hardy's /,c Neve, III. 607]. I has MS.] 3 r agt0 MS ] 4 [See Anderdon'a Life of Km ; C'ardwell's Docuvicntary Annal*]. FRANCIS TURNER, TWENTY-THIRt) MASTER (COLE). 987 take the oaths required by an act of parliament made Apr. 24, 1689, he was by virtue of that act suspended from his office ; and about the beginning of 1690 deprived of his bishoprick. The last acts in bp. Turner's time, as bp. of Ely, were performed by commissioners 5 who were Compton, bp. of London, and Lloyd then of St. Asaph. About the end of January 1690 1 , a proclamation was issued by qu, Mary, own daughter to king James, for discovering and apprehend- ing Francis, late lord bp. of Ely, Wm. Penn, and James Graham csq rs . for conspiring with divers enemies and traitors, and particu- i o larly with the lord Preston and Mr. Ashton, lately attainted of high treason. This is recorded by Rennet, who further adds in a note, that the bp. was author of a state pamphlet. There seems, at this time of day, near an hundred years after the fact, to be little reason to deny or conceal a circumstance that must at the long run turn 1 5 out to his credit, tho' when it was acted [it] was penal, and even at this distance hardly safe to applaud it : I mean loyalty and gratitude to his prince and patron, and zeal for the church of which he was a bishop, and which at that crisis was in the utmost danger from the party who brought about the revolution. Tho', a Vordinaire, Sir 20 John Lalrymple 2 has got most plentifully abused in all the public prints since his book came out, for telling a few truths about some republican saints, whose characters were too sacred to be violated, yet not a soul controverted what he asserts in relation to our bishop : nay, rather let all the bps. in Christendome be sent off to America 25 than that the ashes of Sidney and Russel should be disturbed. Sir John says positively, what no one ever disbelieved, that bp. Turner was in correspondence with king James at St. Germains in 1691 ; and in a letter to that monarch, dated Dec. 21, the bishop, under the feigned name of Mr. Redding, has these words, which plainly hn- 30 ported that the rest of the deprived bishops were his associates. " I speak in tho plural, because I write my elder brother's senti- " ments, as well as my own ; and the rest of the family's ; though " lessened in number, yet, if we are not mightily mistaken, we are "growing in our interest: that is yours." But if this wanted con- 35 firmation, we have plenty of it: for since the publication of the aforesaid memoirs, Mr. Macpherson 3 has favoured the world with papers of the same sort : among wliich is one, containing proposals from Ring James's friends, in 1694, with his majesty's answers: among the rest is this. 40 " 12. They desire, that, if your majesty thinks fit to call any of tho bishops [to St. Germains], that it may be the bp. of Ely. They think it would be for your service ; and he is in a condition to live without being burthensoino to your majesty. 1 Rennet's Hist, of Eng, vol. 3. p. 614, 615. 2 Mcmoiis ofGr.

The king approves of their opinion ; and when he calls any, it shall be him." How such activity can be called retirement, I cannot reconcile with my ideas: yet Mr. Bentham 1 says, that after his deprivation, he " lived the rest of his days in retirement." It was while he was mas- 5 ter, or soon after, that he and Dr. Gower prepared new statutes for the university, to be ratified by king James 2 . He was a good bene- factor to the college ; and meant to have been more so ; but dying at London, without a will, Nov. 2 3 , 1700, all his effects fell to his daugh- ter, otherwise very amply provided for ; and by this means frustrated io the college of what they had reason to expect. His body was con- veyed to Therfeild and buried Nov. 5, in the same vault with his wife, for whom he prepared it many years before, with a splendid epitaph ; but whether the daughter has done as much for her father, who well deserved it, Mr. Baker makes a question ; which seems to 1 5 be resolved by Mr. Bentham's observing, that, altho' he had been at so great expense in ornamenting the chancel of Therfield, yet the only memorial of him is this single word, engraved on the stone which covers the vault, Expergiscar. 26 I shall conclude what I have further to say of him, tho' I have a great plenty of other materials 4 , with these words of dean Ilickes, who thus mentions him in 1705 5 , omitting what such writers as Bur- net have said of him. He thus cordially remembers him. " Cuius "amicitiae recordatione sic superstes fruor, ut beate vixisse videar, 25 " qui cum illo coniunctissime vixerim." In a letter from Mr. Baker to Tho. Hearne, partly printed in the preface of Peter Langtoft's Chronicle, p. xuv. says, that Nicholas Farrer, the noted founder of the Protestant Nunnery at Gidding in Huntingdonshire, " was so great and good a man, that the late bp. of 30 " Ely, (bp. Turner) had a design to write his life : but what collcc- *' tions he had made, or where lodged, I do not know. His library "was sold." W. C. Oct. 9, 1777. Yet this great and good man, as he was abused by tho fanatics of his own time, so the same spirit which actuated them has raised up 35 another gentleman to abuso him in ours. v. Top.

Moreover the bp. inquired whether the weekly sacrament was begun at Yorke, wondring very much that it was not done yet, when the cathedralls in the province of Canterbury advanced on apace, informing mee of one cathedrall more 30 that had begun this good order, which I had not heard of before, namely Gloster.

I havo nothing to do hero but to transcribe my account of him, which I drew up about two years ago, among the rectors of Ditton near Cambridge, and is as follows. Humphrey Gower 1 , 8.T.P. was collated to the rectory of Ditton 5 in 1677, by bp. Gunning : but tho exact day is omitted in my extract 2 . He was bora 3 at Dorchester, tho capital of Dorsetshire, where his father, Mr. Stanley Gower, was minister during the usurpation and rebellion and one of tho assembly of divines at Westminster, em- io ployed by the long parliament in 1643 to new-model a mongrel kind of church after their own fancies : and was a man of some eminence amongst them, preaching before the parliament on 5 Nov. of that year: at which time he was desired to 4 print his sermon. Whether he complied with their request I know not, having never met with it. 15 However, he has two or three other things in print : one of which is, the Life of Mr. Ric. Rothwell, a puritan minister, who died in 1627, and is published by Mr. Sam. Clarke 5 , among his Lives. It is probable that his mother's name was Hyde : as tho doctor quartered the arms of that name and family : viz. Azure, a Cheverou 20 between three Lozenges, Or, with those of his own, viz. Azure, a Cheveron between three Wolves Heads, erased, Or. This appears from his achievement", still hanging in Thriplow church, and pro- bably taken from the front of the country house, which the mas- ters of this college enjoy by his bounty in that village. 25 He was first placed by his father in the schole at Dorchester, and from thence removed to that of St. Paul's 7 , under the care of Mr. Samuel Cromleholme, who before had been his master at Dorchester schole. 1 Arms 1 and 4.

From St. Paul's scholc he was sent to St. John's college, where he regularly took his degrees, and was chosen fellow of the founda- tion 23 Mar. 1658, where he is stiled 1 Herefordensis. In 1663, he was instituted on 10 Apr. to the rectory of Hamoon, in his native county of Dorset 2 , if it was so 3 , at the presentation of the Trenchard 5 family : which he quitted in 1667, on his being collated by his name- sake, bp. Henchman, 3 Jul. of that year, to the rectory of Paklesham^ in Essex; being at that time M.A. and senior taxor 5 of the univer- sity. In 1675 he resigned his living of Paklesham, on being collated 20 Nov. of that year, by bp. Gunning, to the rectory of Newton 6 in io the Isle, with the chapel or hospital annexed to it, being then B.D. but resigned it two years after for that of Feu-Ditton 7 , to which he was instituted on July 4, in 1677. On 11 July 1679, being then S.T.B. 8 he was by his patron, bp. Gunning, made master of Jesus college: Mr. Bentham 9 says, Jul. 7. Perhaps he was nominated 15 then by the bishop, and admitted by the society on 11 of July. At this juncture it is probable that he took his Dr. of Divinity's degree 10 : for on 3 Dec. of the same year, he was translated from the master- ship of Jesus to that of this college 11 , at which time he is styled D.D. having been appointed canon of Ely on 25 Oct. preceding, and in- 20 stalled 18 Nov. 1. In 16S0 he was vice chancellor 13 of the university: during which office, in a time of great combustion and faction, in the very heat of the fanatic Popish Plot, but when it began to lose its credit with many of its supporters, by the imprisonment of that arch-faction-monger of those times, the infamous earl of Shaftsbury, 25 he was commissioned by the university to wait upon his majesty at Newmarket, on Sept. IS, 1681 : at which time he made a most loyal and dutiful speech to the king, expressive of the university's thorough detestation of the late rebellious and factious practices, and their well-instructed zeal for the church established, "the envy and 30 1 Hist, of St. Jo.

I am afraid that he hardly came up afterwards to the honest professions he now made. But he lived in cruel times : and it is hazardous to say what a man will either acquiesce in or 5 suffer, when it comes to the trial. These however were his senti- ments, his professions at least, at this period 1 . "But noe earthly " power, wee hope : noe menacys or miseryes shall ever be able to " make us renounce or forgett our dutye. Wee will still believe and " mainteine, That our kings derive not their titles from the people, lo "but from God : that to him only they are accountable ; that itt be- " longs not to subjects, either to create, or censure, but to honour " and obey their sovereigne ; who conies to bee soe, by a ffunda- " mental, hereditary right of succession, which noe religion, noe ''law, noe fault or fforfciture can alter, or diminish." We have 1 5 had very different doctrine preached to us within these two years, from St. Mary's pulpit, by a professor of divinity also. Both cannot be true. A medium, perhaps, would be the wiser, as well as more safe doctrine : for if one may contribute to make us dastardly slaves, and peaceable, passive subjects ; the other, I am convinced, is more 20 apt to rouse and irritate the angry passions ; make us discontented and dissatisfied with every government; and never quiet or easy under any. In 1688, a year of trial, he was chosen Lady Margaret's pro- fessor of divinity, "being noted," says Mr. Baker 2 , (who styles him 25 the learned and worthy professor,) "for his firmness, integrity and " prudent conduct in the government of his college, as he has since " been for his extraordinary abilities in the chair." Mr. Baker was a most worthy and candid man : he published, without his name, the funeral sermon by bp. Fisher on the excellent 30 foundress of this and Christ's colleges, in 1708, whilst Dr. Gower Mas master of this house, out of which, with many more worthy and conscientious men, Mr. Baker had been ejected for not taking the oaths to the new government, at the same time 3 , as I have heard it related, that the master himself had engaged with them, to act as ? c they did, and even encouraged them to persevere in their refusal, while he, upon other and more mature considerations, privately, before the time elapsed, went and took them. This trimming part I have often heard laid to his charge. But he had been educated a presbyterian, and had a mastership, a canonry, a rectory and pro- .0 fessorship to lose, and nothing to gain in the room of them, but the 1 v. my vol. 46. p. 347. 2 Pref. to Bp.

However, with 'all these emoluments and conve- niences, it required more than common self-denial to quit, at the latter end of life, advantages and comforts of every sort, and embrace beggary and starving in the room of them. Dr. Gower, I have 5 been told, was a very worthy man, and an excellent governor of his college : yet was liable to the infirmities of humanity. I suppose, it is in allusion to his shiftings in politics, that honest Anthony Wood, who was above and scorned all subterfuges of any sort, makes this entry in the Diary of his Life 1 relating to him. i o " Aug. 24, 1693. It is said, Dr. Gower, master of St. John's col- lege, Cambridge, excuses lus disobedience to the mandamus, by pretending that, by the laws of the college, no man can be dis- placed for scruples of conscience, papists only excepted." I suppose it was under Dr. Turner's mastership, or early in his x 5 own, that Dr. Turner and Dr. Gower prepared new statutes for the university, which were to be ratified by King James 2d. 2 so conclude it was in his reign, and under Dr. Gower's prefecture. Altho' Dr. Gower was a very learned man, yet he has left us nothing in print, but the following discourse, in honour of and 20 gratitude to the memory of his good patron, the most worthy and excellent Dr. Gunning, bp. of Ely. A Discourse delivered in two Sermons in the Cathedral of Ely, in September, 16S4. Cambridge. 4to. 1685. In which discourse is a very large and ample character of bp- 25 Gunning. In Mr. Thoresby's History of the Church of Leeds 3 , is a letter from Dr. Gower to the author, giving some account of Mr. John Milner, who died in St. John's college A . 1702, after having quitted the vicarage of that town, for not taking the oaths at the revolu- 30 tion in 16S8. As he was an unmarried man, he was a good benefactor to the public 4 , in leaving .500. towards purchasing livings for the college, by will dated June 10, 170S : as also a considerable estate at Thriplow, about 8 miles from Cambridge, where he also built a very good house, 35 and appropriated them both to the mastership for ever, lie also left a rent charge of 20. out of this estate'', after the death of his executor, for exhibitions towards the maintenance of two indigent scholars, who were to be sons of clergymen, and were to have been educated in one or both of his before mentioned scholes of St. Paul's 40 or Dorchester. To his house at Thriplow aforesaid he used to retire from college business and enjoy himself with his friends : which he 1 Lift of Ant. Wood, p. 377. Edit. 1772. 2 Mr. Baker's MSS. Vol. 17.

His is the singular instance in a print : except some old ones, of an ordinary form, with hoods over their shoulders, and which look as much like anything else, may be said to be so depicted. Dr. John Smith, the present master of Caius college, is so painted in 15 a good picture of him by Sir Joshua Reynolds at his lodge. He died at the age of 74 years, in his own lodge in this college, on 27 March, 1711, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and was buried in the chapel there, on 7 3 Apr. following, under a marble with this in- scription, printed by Dr. Knight and Mr Bentham 4 , after having 20 been at the head of the college for 32 years.

But my dislike of begging admission into the libraries either of the university or private colleges, where few people, I have observed, love to attend to such researches 1 , makes this precision not to be expected here : where all must come from my own books and col- 5 lections. From this last paragraph it may easily be perceived that the above account of Dr. Gower was written before I had the advantage of Mr. Baker's history, which I had then never seen, and ignorantly supposed that he had drawn up an account of the lives of all the 10 masters of his college, down to his latter time : whereas the book shews, that he finishes with Dr. Gunning.

Clarke (Lives, 1677, p. 294) with some particulars of abp. Ussher. He says of Ri. Roth well (ibid. 70) : ' He desired to have me with him, and with much ado prevailed ; and so (I blesse God) he not only fitted me for the university, but was a means to bring me to the first saving know- ledge of Christ; I remember, and shall do ever, the first sermon and point which God blessed to my soul for that purpose. I was about eight years 25 his bed-fellow and eye witnesse of the great success he had in his ministry there, and over all the countrey, where he was worthily called, The Apostle of the North 'Not long after...

Mr. Whisson had rather probably gratify a man stigmatized by his sovereign, than one who had spent 20 years in the university, and whose whole employment through life has been to advance, as far as his poor abilities will allow him, the honour and credit of the university.

When I came to Mansfield in Nottingham-shire, I found him there their minister, and sick unto the death at my coming he revived, and in the strength of that joy so far recovered, that within a week he went about the town with me to divers places ; but 5 relapsed, and engaged me to preach for him once the next Sabbath follow- ing, and in the afternoon at Mansfield Wood-house, within half a mile of Mansfield.'

Ibid. p. 74 : 'I had a book written with his own hand, of the temptations the Devil haunted him with afterwards, and the answers divers godly and 1 o reverend ministers gave to those temptations : But the cavaliers got them, and all my books and writings.' The notice of Gower by Kennett in MS. Lansd. 987 f. 330 (printed in Brydges, RestittUa, I. 154) is merely the extract from Baker's preface to Fisher's Fun. Serm. given above p. 993 1. 24. J. H. in Nichols, Lit. Anecd. 15 VIII. 503 : 'In the memoir of Dr. Humphry Gower ... it is stated that he was born at Dorchester. I have some reason to doubt this. The con- nexion of his father Stanley Gower with that town did not commence till 1650, when he was presented to the rectory of the Holy Trinity, as appears in Hutchins's Dorset. Now Dr. Humphry Gower was born about 1638. 20 At that time his father was rector of Brampton-Bryan in Herefordshire, and resident on his living. He came up to London on being appointed one of the Assembly of Divines. Some account of Mr. Stanley Gower may be found in a MS. life of Mr. Thomas Pierson, who was his predecessor in the rectory of Brampton -Bryan (MS. Lansd. 761 f. 147). I have many other 2 c particulars of the life of this divine. He wrote the very singular memoir of .Richard Rothwell...; one whom Mr. Gower seems to have made a model for himself. There is also in print a sermon or two of this Mr. Gower's, in the worst taste of the age.' The point is settled by Gower's admission: H. G., of Brampton Brian Heref., son of Rev. Stanley G., educated for 30 three years at Dorchester school under Mr.Crumlum, adm. pensioner 21 May, 1655 aet. 17. Admitted Spalding scholar 7 Nov. 1655. On his undergraduate career see Is. Milles, as cited above, pp. 646, 647. 'On the 1 8th [Sept. 1681] Dr. Gower, vicechancellour of the university of Cambridge, with the heads of the houses, doctors &c, were [went?] to 35 wait on his majestie at Newmarkett, where the vicechancellour did in a solemn speech in the name of the said university return his majestie their hearty thanks for his resolution to maintain the government as established by law, both in church and state, &c. ; which mett with a gracious recept- ance from his majestie' (Narcissus Luttrell, State Affairs, I. 127, 128). 40 'We are advised from Cambridge that their majesties and the court sett forward from Newmarkett the 27th [Sept. 1681], and dined at the univer- sity of Cambridge, in the colledge of St. Johns, where they were joyfully received by the high sheriff of Cambridgeshire, the vicechanceller and heads of the severall colledges, and by the mayor and aldermen &c. in their for- 4 c: malities, the bells ringing, conduits running with wine, and such other publick demonstrations of joy. Their majesties were pleased to view seve- rall of the colledges and the schools, where were severall speeches made to them; the orator of the university [John Billers, B.D. of St. John's] in Latin to the king, and after in English to the queen, in the Regent walk; cq and the vicechanceller also to the king in Latin, and presented him with 998 HUMPHREY GOWER, TWEXTY-FOURTH MASTER (NOTES); a large folio English bible, and in English to the queen, presenting herewith a book [by Sir Wm. Dugdale] entituled A View of the late troubles in Eng- land. At King's colledge Dr. [John] Copleston, the provost, made two speeches to their majesties ; at Trinity colledge Dr. Linnett made a speech in Latin, and Mr. Duke another in English verse ; at St. Johns colledge 5 Dr. Gower, vicechanceller, made two speeches in Latin and English, as master of that society, where his majestie and the court were most splen- didly entertained at dinner, and were very well pleased with their reception, and so returned again that afternoon to Newmarkett' (ibid. 130, 131. See Cooper's Annals, in. 588 592, chiefly from Echard, ill. 638). IO He was suspected of favoring the nonjurors, and gave an engagement, 1-2 May 1692, to have his horses forthcoming, if at any time called for (MS. Tanner xxv. f. 340). 25 July 1693. 'A mandamus is sealed and sent to Dr. Gower, master of St. Johns colledge in Cambridge, to turn out 20 fellows of that colledge 15 refusing to take the oathes' (Luttrell, in. 144). 10 Aug. 1693. 'There was a bill of indictment preferred at the assizes of Cambridge against Dr. Gower, master of St. Johns colledge, for suffering severall of the fellows to enjoy their fellowships, tho' they had not taken the oathes according to the act of parliament; yet the grand jury refused 20 to find the bill, to the wonder of the court' (ibid. 158, 159. See the law reports cited in Cooper's Annals, iv. 25, 26. MS. Tanner xxv. f. 61). 23 Sept. 1693. 'Kings councill are drawing up a prosecution against Dr. Gower in the Kings and the fellows in St. John's colledge who con- tinued in their fellowships without taking the oathes' (Luttrell, ibid. 191). 2 < 'Yesterday [i.e. 25 Oct. 1693] the court of kings bench granted a second mandamus to Dr. Gower, master of St. Johns colledge in Cambridge, to turn out the non juring fellowes thereof (ibid. 213). Ambrose Bonwicke, who was admitted to St. John's 24 Aug. 17 10, gives some account of the state of the college under Gower (Life, Lond. 1729, 30 12 , p. 19): 'The greatest happiness of all, and what he valued above the honours and profits he lost with his election to the other St. /oAn'/[Oxford], was the frequent returns of the holy sacrament, which he would have miss'd of there, and could not, I think, have enjoyed at any other house in either of the universities, except Christ-Church in Oxford, which being a cathedral 35 as well as a college, is under a double obligation of conforming it self to the fourth rubric after the communion service.' Pp. 20, 2r : 'And as soon as his books were arrived, he betook himself heartily to his studies, and pursued them in spight of Sturbridge fair, which made most of the other students idle, and by that means deprived him (for 40 want of auditors) of those lectures and instructions of his tutor [Fras. Roper], which would have been more grateful to him than any diversions of that season.' Pp. 21 25, give a detailed account of Bonwicke's studies: 'he was an excellent husband of his time, rising often at four o' th' clock, and sometimes earlier, very rarely exceeding six, and that only when the college ac prayers were later than ordinary; and never, if he was well, going to bed till near ten.'

HUMPHREY GOWER, TWENTY-FOURTH MASTER (NOTES). 999 he was chosen scholar of the house, and the very worthy master, Doctor Gower, told him, 'twas his regular and good hehaviour that got him that preferment, and was the likeliest means to get him more.' The value of the scholarship, when corn was high, was more than 1- I- 652 1006 ROBERT JENKIN, TWENTY-FIFTH MASTER (COLE). But in Mr. Baker's list of fellows he makes it end thus. 'Ego Rob. Jenkin, Can tianus, jurat, et admiss. in perpct. Socium pro Dna Fundatrice. Mart. 30, 1680. Atque hie claudo catalogum, nam qui sequitur proximus heu! longo sed proximus intervallo.' 5 He was soon after collated by bp. Turner to the vicarage of Waterbeche, in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, which he held with his fellowship, and served it from college. By Dr. John Lake, bp. of Chichester, he was made his chaplain, and in 1688 was collated by his lordship to the precentorship 1 of that cathedral, as a token only io of what he might afterwards expect, had the times been propitious to his patron and him. But they were both struck down by the same blow : for at the revolution, Mr. Jenkin, not being able to satisfy himself of the lawfulness of taking the oaths of allegiance to the new governours, he was forced to give up all his preferments in 15 1690, and then was taken into the family of the earl of Exeter, to whom he became domestic chaplain. As chaplain to bp. Lake, he was one of the subscribers to that bp's. declaration 2 upon his death bed, Aug. 27, 1689, of his steady adherence to the doctrines of the church of England, part of which consisted in the observance of 20 passive-obedience and non-resistance 3 . How long he continued in the earl of Exeter's family is to me unknown : that he was in that of lord Weymouth, at Long-Leat in Wiltshire, in 1709, is evident from four letters to Mr. Baker 4 , from that place, in October and December, &c. of that year, in which he informs him, that that nobleman had 25 ordered a copy of an original picture on board to be taken of bp. Fisher for him; which should be sent to Cambridge on their arrival at London. Probably this is the picture of that bishop, which now hangs in the master's gallery : for his lordship was so generous as to send Mr. Baker the original, and to reserve the 30 copy only for himself. In 1711 ho saw occasion to mitigate his political opinions s ; at which time, his old master having been dead these 10 years, and a prospect of better times succeeding, he took the oaths to queen Anno ; and being dr. of divinity, was elected master of this college, 35 and admitted, April 13, anno 1711, on the death of Dr. Gower 8 ; to 1 [Installed 7 May 1688; his successor installed 29 Jul. 1690 (Hardy's Le Ncrc 1. 266)]. 2 Mr. Kettlewell's Life.

What other preferment he enjoyed is more than I can say. The times he lived in were by no means favor- able to men of his cast : otherwise, ho was deserving of the greatest : 5 for he was a very good divine 2 , a learned man, and of an exemplary life. His book on the reasonableness of the Christian religion is a full pi'oof of his being a great divine ; as the many other of his pub- lications are of his learning. As Lady Margaret's professor, he was incapacitated from filling the second office of the university, in being 10 vice-chancellor: however, in 1719, Dr. Gooch, then in that office, had him for one of his assessors :i , at the degradation of Dr. Bentley for demanding, as regius professor of divinity, exorbitant fees on creation of doctors in that faculty, and for contempt of the vice- chancellor's authority 4 . 1 5 He had the misfortune to lose his memory and understanding for some years before his death, which happened at Runcton, near King's Lynn in Norfolk, on the 7 April, 1727, at the age of 71 years ; tho' in his epitaph it is said 70 ; a very immaterial circumstance, and de- pends only on calling him 71, being then in his current year: being 20 born in 1656. lie was buried at Runcton, and has this epitaph for him 5 , which was given to me in 1747, by my honoured patron, the late Browne Willis, Esq r . who had a great regard for his memory.

Ashby, in Nichols, ibid. 108: ' Mr. Baker was quite wrong in fancying that the master, &c. could do more for him than he did. He was screened, till notice came from above that it would not be overlooked there any longer.' The same (ibid. IV. 247, 248) : 'The true account of the ejection is this : 40 The statutes of that college require the fellows, as soon as they are of that standing, to take the degree of B.D. But the oath of allegiance is required t<> be taken with every degree : so that, after the revolution, 24 of the follows not coming into the oath of allegiance, and the statutes requiring them to commence B.D., they were constrained to part with their fellow- 45 ROBERT JENKIN, TWENTY-FIFTH MASTER (NOTES). 1011 ships. As to those who had taken that degree before the revolution, there was nothing to eject them upon till their refusal of the abjuration-oath, exacted on the accession of king George I. Mr. Baker, who died in 1740, was probably the survivor of all these [ejected fellows]. These principles 5 of the members of this society made it little agreeable at court, where how- ever they had always one good friend (though he by no means agreed with them in their sentiments) commissary Dr. Rowland [? llichard] Hill, pay- master to the army in Flanders under king William (see Wotton's Baronetage, vol. V. p. 215). One day, upon some bad reports there from Cambridge, the 10 then Lord Carteret said, " Well, Mr. commissary, what have you to say for your college nowV " Why, to be sure, I must own that circumstances are against us; but though I hardly shall, who am an old man, yet I dare say your lordship xoill live to see that college as obsequious as any other." This prediction was completely fulfilled ; when his lordship nobly promoted Dr. 1 5 Taylor, who was the last that retained in secret the principles of this party. From Br. Taylor himself to me, all but the conclusion.' Matt. Prior's verses to Jenkin in MS. Cole xxx. 114 are no doubt the same as the ' epigram, extempore, to the master of St. John's college, 1712' (Chalmers' British Poets, X. 238). 20 The occasion of this epigram is given in the Gent. Mag. 1774, p. 16: 'In the year 1712 my old friend Matthew Prior, who was then Fellow of St. John's, and who not long before had been employed by the Queen as her Plenipotentiary at the court of France, came to Cambridge ; and the next morning paid a visit to the Master of his own college. The Master 2 5 (whether Dr. Gower or Dr. Jenkin I cannot now recollect) loved Mr. Prior's principles, had a great opinion of his abilities, and a respect for his character in the world ; but then he had much greater respect for himself. He knew his own dignity too well to suffer a Fellow of his college to sit down in his presence. He kept his seat himself, and let the Queen's am- 3 bassador stand. Such was the temper, not of a Vice-chancellor, but of a simple Master of a college. I remember, by the way, an extempore epigram of Mutt's on the reception he had there met with. We did not reckon in those days, that he had a very happy turn for an epigram : but the occasion was tempting ; and he struck it off, as he was walking from St. John's 35 college to the Rose, where we dined together. It was addressed to the Master. I stood, Sir, patient at your feet, Before your elbow chair ; But make a bishop's throne your seat, , I '11 kneel before you there. One only thing can keep you down, For your great soul too mean ; You'd not, to mount a bishop's throne, Pay homage to the Queen. 45 From "The friendly and honest Advice of an old Tory to the Vice- chancellor of Cambridge.

Dr. Newcome 1 had made an attempt for this mastership in 1727, when Dr. Lambert carried it against him, where some features of his character may be discerned : on that master's death he was more successful, being elected into his place, on another warm contest, on Febr. 6, 1734-5, when he, Dr. Williams, Mr. Parnham and Mr. Chap- 5 pelow were the candidates. This contest I well remember ; being after my admission into the university. Dr. Newcome's character will be discussed in the present article. Dr. Williams was then president of the college, orator of the university, and generally esteemed a very worthy, upright man, and seemed as much calculated to for the post he aimed at and deserved, as he that attained it. But there are always great heats and divisions in this society ; and per- haps Dr. Newcome's then living in his professorial house in the town might have been no disadvantage to his having been brought into college. Dr. Williams was son to a rector of Dodington, and 1 5 slightly allied to the Peyton family : he resided some years after his disappointment in the college, by which he was presented to the rectory of Barrow, where he soon after married the only daughter of Dr. Dighton of Newmarket : rather a disproportionate match in point of age. By her he left three children, a son 2 , who on the alliance 20 abovesaid was sent as founder's kinsman to New college, and is now fellow of Winchester college ; and two daughters unmarried : she afterwards married Dr. John Gordon of Cambridge, where they resided many years, but now at Lincoln, where ho is both archdeacon and chanter, and by her has two sons, if not other children. Mr. 25 Caleb i'arnham 3 , another of the candidates, was thon one of the senior fellows, and afterwards took the living of Ulfbrd near Stam- ford, being a native of that part of the kingdom, He was esteemed 1 Arms.

JOHN NEWOOilE, TWKNTV SEVENTH MASTElt (COLE). 1U23 a very good sort of man, of the tallest stature I ever saw, and hud one of the best base voices in the university ; where at public con- certs, and our weekly music club, I have often heard him with great pleasure both play on the violoncello and accompany it with his 5 voice. The other candidate, Mr. Chappelow, was either then or soon after professor of Arabic, and beneficed in Hartfordshire : esteemed an able man in his profession, and constantly read lectures during one term at Cambridge on the oriental languages. As Mr. Chappelow had no children by his wife, and was much in favour with bishop 10 Sherlock, whose wife was related to the Chesters of Cockenhatch in Hartfordshire, on that bishop's providing for one of the Pernes in the diocese of Salisbury, he got a promise from Chester Perne of Little Abington esq 1 ', his brother, to give the rectory of Knapwell to Mr. Musgrave, fellow of Peter house, son of Mr. Musgrave of Grans- 1 5 den, who had married his niece : Mr. Musgrave held it with the vicarage of Thriplow. But I digress too much. In my 21 volume of these collections ', is an exact list of the poll on this election, drawn up by Dr. Williams, and communicated to me with many things of the sort by my late worthy friend Dr. Zac. 20 Grey rector of Iloughton-Conquest in Bedfordshire. John Xewcome was the son of a baker 2 of Grantham in Lincoln- shire, in which town he was born, and in the free schole there re- ceived his education. He was afterwards sent to this college, where he became fellow, and on the death of Dr. Jenkin in 1727, was chosen 25 Lady Margaret's professor of divinity 3 . On the death of Dr. Lam- bert he again entered the lists, and was so fortunate to outrun his opposers. As he was chosen professor for Lady Margaret at a time when the regius professor of divinity, the great Dr. llic. Bentley, was withdrawing himself from all public business, the duty of tho 30 chair devolved upon him ; which he exercised with tolerable abilities ; being but a slow, dull, plodding mortal and whose talents were hardly above mediocrity. His parts were chiefly confined to low cunning artifice and a desire to overreach : and had nothing liberal in his con- versation, manner and appearance. All was art and design ; which 35 was so inherent in him, that it lost its effect by its perfection : for people were so persuaded of his always lying upon the catch, that they were aware of him, and so baffled his own intentions. To those who were ignorant of this part of his character his smooth insinuating manner gave them a quite different idea of his real one. If this 40 picture of him is not like, I know one that is more so. and much better painted: it is by the hand of a master: Dr. Win. King, of St. Mary Hall, who in his Key to the Fragment*, thus severely handles him, after having before dispatched Dr. Gooch, afterwards bp. of Ely. 1 Vol. 21, p. 85,86. - MS.

Allowance must however be made for the warmth of Dr. King's principles, whose integrity was hurt by the duplicity of Dr. New- come's conduct. ' There is another of these apostates, who is in continual pursuit of ' wealth, altho' he is old and infirm, and has already a large share of 5 'the lands belonging to some of the collegiate churches. His name ' is John Comus : but the inhabitants of Bridgetown [Cambridge] ' generally call him Belshazzar : because he polluted the holy ves- ' sels, and took the plate, which had been consecrated for the service ' of the altar, to adorn his own table. Belshazzar, before his apo- 1 o ' stasy, was a person of some estimation : but when he fell, he ' plunged himself at once so deep in the mire, that he is now hated ' and despised by his old friends, and little respected by the party ' to which he has acceded. They know him to be a time-server and ' a slave to all men in power : ready to kiss the Pope's slipper or 1 5 ' the hem of the Mufti's garment ; or to worship Aaron's calf, if he ' may obtain a leg of the beast for his reward. The reader will ' probably remark, that these famous renegadoes, Broomstick [Bp. ' Gooch] and Belshazzar, are not particularly described in any part of 'the Fragment, which is published: but in the MS. copy, their 20 ' characters are drawn at full length. And it is very expedient, that ' I should take some notice of them, since they have the first seats ' among the ruling elders, and are in truth the principal persons, to ' whom the change and corruption of manners and the present 'wretched condition of Bridgetown may justly be ascribed. "When 25 ' Sir Thomas Duke [Thomas Holles-Pelham duke of Newcastle, ' chancellor] was elected Lord of Bridgetown, Comus tossed up his ' l>eaver for joy and huzzaed, after the manner of school-boys when ' they have leave to play. This was condemned by every one, who was ' then in court, as a most indecent action and very unsuitable to the 30 'dignity of the place. And I am persuaded, if Madam Comus had ' been at her husband's elbow, she would have held his hand. But I 1 have observed before, that every renegadoe, especially one of this 'cast, thinks himself obliged to descend to the lowest and basest 'acts of adulation and servility, to manifest his attachment to his 35 ' new patrons, and to prove his conversion to be real and sincere.' If this likeness of him should be found fault with, as too severe, there is a softer one of him, drawn by the pencil of one, whoso politi- cal prejudices were equal to his own. I mean the writer of the History and Antiquities of Rochester 1 , who styles him "the most 40 " pious and charitable dean :" but reserves the chief part of the panegyric for his wife, who, I believe, much better deserved it The picture of his outward man may be seen in the master's gallery, drawn as a Roman, bald or without his wig, which is not much like him. He has a better likeness of him in the picture of archbp. 45 Warham by Mr. Vcrtue, in the collection 79. Sec above, p. 700J.

She was buried, as 1 believe, in St. Bene- " diet's church in Cambridge, in which parish the Margaret pro- 5 "lessor's house is situated, and where she had lived for some years " before her husband was elected to St. John's lodge." Since I wrote the above, 1 fell upon a letter from Dr. Newcome to Dr. Grey ', farther explanatory of what has been mentioned: I will transcribe it, together with my observation upon it. io "To the rev. Dr. Grey, in Cambridge. May 26, 1744. " Good Sir, " Upon mature consideration, and by the advice of friends, I " think your book will do better without the defence of the versifi- 1 5 " cation, which is merely trifling and not wanted. If 1 suffer, your " book will fare the worse : which I should be sorry for : and there- " fore cliuse to quite suppress so superficial a performance. I have " wrote to a friend to break the types : and I will pay all that is due " to the compositor and printer, when I return. I heartily beg 20 " pardon for giving you so much trouble, &c. " Good Sir, your affectionate friend and faithful servant, J. NEWCOME. " It requires more time to fit it for the approbation of the public, " than 1 can possibly bestow upon it : and as yours will be a standing 25" book, it concerns me to be careful how I appear. You will excuse " and in time approve my caution," When we consider that it was a Whig ministry that the prudent doctor was courting, and which actually gave him a deanery this year, and might give him a bishopric another ; and that it was a 30 Tory book that was coming out, full of anecdotes and stories in ridicule of the beloved party, no wonder the doctor was cautious in ushering so profane a book into the world with his countenance, and permitted not Dr. Grey to print his name at full length, as a con- tributor to the illustration of it. I had no such scruples : and the 35 few notes and little assistance I contributed, Dr. Grey very gene- rously acknowledged with thanks : tho' hardly deserving them. Dr. Newcome had actually drawn up a dissertation upon the versification of Hudibras, which he had promised to Dr. Grey, to be printed with his edition of that poem ; and had even printed it : but to the great 40 mortification and disappointment of the editor, when it came to the point, the cautious old master chose to suppress his performance: many people conceived the reason of all this caution to proceed from its being a dull heavy thing, and a consciousness of the jokes and sneers that might be cast upon it in the university : but I rather 1 v. ijiy Vol.. 30, p. ! jo. 1028 JOHN NEWCOJIE, TWENTY-SEVENTH MASTER (COLE). suppose the other was the true reason of its suppression. Dr. New- come may be a deserving man ; but lie is time-serving 1 , ambitious and deceitful. He has been long in expectation of a mitre, which few people think he will ever arrive at. Mrs. Newcome, his wife, bears the character, by every body, of a most excellent and worthy 5 woman : nay, to say learned : for she has given proof of her erudi- tion in more thau one book which she has published*. This last paragraph I find in a book, where I entered it in 1759 3 . I was no ways acquainted with Dr. Newcome, nor was ever in com- pany with him above half a dozen times, chiefly at Dr. Middleton's: 10 but used to be often with one of his great cronies and acquaintance, Mr, Ambrose Glover, a sensible malster at Chesterton, who loved politics and carried him news ; this man never passed by my uncle Cock's house, at the bridge foot, (a large brick house built by him on a Jesus college lease, now the property of his son, John Cock, 15 D.D. formerly of St. John's college) without calling in. Among many other things which I remember to have heard him retail from St. John's lodge, this was one : which shewed his party-zeal, as well as it did liis want of judgement : it was, 'That Burnet's History of his own Times, however spoken against at its first appearance, would 20 gain credit by time, and in the end would be justly valued for its authenticity.' The contrary to which is the real truth. For the value of it passed off with its novelty and scandal ; and the lies and improbabilities it abounds with, and which are daily detected, have already ranked it, except with bigotted party men, with the 25 histories of Oldmixon, Kennet and Macaulay. At length being worn out with infirmities, the fatigues and trou- bles of this world, he shewed a disposition to have resigned his professorship : the duties of which he had been for some time dis- abled to perform ; and after lying in a languishing state at his own 30 lodge for a great while, he resigned up his breath to his Creator on January 10 at night 1765 4 , and was interred in a private manner the 1 [He was reckoned among the Whig heads, Nichols, Lit.

JOHN' NEWCOME, TWENTY-SEVENTH MASTER (COLE). 1029 IS of the same month in the college chapel 1 , where is a stone and epitaph 2 on it for him. As he was in a declining state for some time before his death, it was daily impatiently watched for by those who aimed at his spoils 5 and preferments : among whom none more alert than the present bp. of Carlisle', who was putting up for every thing, the most inconsider- able, that fell in the university's gift. He had an eye to the Mar- garet professorship, and after a warm struggle for it, very luckily lost it. Had he succeeded, we should have had the two chairs of 10 divinity in the possession of two learned professors who have given special proof of their devotion to the establishment in church and state, of which they are members. The bp. shewed such a voracious stomach, that even after he was on the bench, he was wriggling, shewed a disposition to retain two small pieces of preferment which 1 5 he had in the university, together with his bishopric : it was looked upon to be so mean and hungry a disposition, and so far beneath his present station, that his friends persuaded him from the attempt. So Dr. Plumptre got the casuistical professorship, and Dr. Bar- nardiston the place of librarian principal to the university. 20 That Dr. Newcome's death was waited for with impatience, was evident from the following article in the Cambridge Chronicle 4 , about a week before it happened. " The master of St. John's college, who " is in a very advanced age, and has been for some time in a declin- " ing way, is at present so very much indisposed that there is but 2 5 " little expectation of his recovery. The headship is a post of great "dignity and emolument: the election to which is first in the fel- " lows in general, who are at this time between 50 and 60 : and if a " majority be not found among them for one candidate, the election " comes to the eight seniors : and in defect of a majority of these, 30 "the absolute appointment devolves to the bp. of Ely, as visitor of ' the college. Several reverend gentlemen arc already talked of as "candidates for the mastership, the Lady Margaret's professorship " and deanery of Rochester." " The electors to the Lady Margaret's professorship are all doc- 3 5 " tors and bachelors of divinity : of which there are about an hun- " dred on the boards of the several colleges at this time. The "election of a master of St. John's must be within 13 or 14 days." He was succeeded in his mastership of this college by Dr. rowell ; and in his professorship by Dr. Zachary Brooke 3 , formerly 1 [Camh\ Chron. No. 117]. 2 [M. S.

He left his son to the care of his friends ; who, turning out a sprightly and ingenious man, was much caressed by the people of best eminence 5 distinguished himself by writing against Dr. Middleton, but in a language that made it less taken notice of, than if it had been in English. He was collated to the vicarage of Ickleton 1 near Cam- bridge, where he made a connexion with the daughter of Mr. Han- chet, and afterwards married her 2 . Dr. Brooke carried his election 10 for the professorship against Dr. Law by a good majority, and after a very warm contest. The poll may be seen in one of my volumes 3 , with the names of the voters. Dr. Neweome left his valuable library to the town of Grantham in Lincolnshire; under the direction of Dr. Green, bp. of Lincoln, and t$ Sir John Cust, speaker of the house of commons. He bequeathed .500. to the university for the purchase of theological books for the public library, at the discretion of the two professors of divinity : an hundred pounds towards the repairs of Rochester ca- thedral : a considerable estate to St. John's college, charged with the 20 payment of two exhibitions of 20. per annum each to scholars from Grantham, or in default of them, from any other schole in Lincoln- shire : a prize of 5. annually to the questionist of St. John's college, who shall pass the best examination in moral philosophy, and 2. to the examiner : with charitable legacies to the poor of Cambridge 2 5 and other places. The bulk of his fortune he left to the rev. Richard Beadon and to Miss Kirke, his executors 4 . Mr. Beadon is now the worthy and learned orator of the univer- sity ; and Miss Kirke, who lived with the master after the loss of his wife, soon after married Mr. Talbot 5 , fellow of Clare hall, and now 30 chancellor of Salisbury and rector of Teversham near Cambridge, with another living in Essex or Suffolk 6 . He is a very little, thin man : was a candidate for the mastership of Clare hall against Dr. 1697), boni at Hammerton Hunts, at Stamford school under Mr. Reid, was admitted sizar 28 June 1734 under Dr. Phil.

An inscription by him on his niece Rebecca Powell is in Lysons, Environs (Middl.) III. 145. He was kind's chaplain (Gent. Mag. 1758, 254 a) and rector of the two Forncetts (Nichols, Lit.

In the rectory of Offord-Clnny he was succeeded by Mr. Hudson 1 , A.M. of Clare hall, and chaplain to bp. Newton of Bristol. 5 What other publications go under his name than the two follow- ing is more than I can say : I think he printed one which I heard him preach at St. Mary's, after he became master of the college, but cannot be positive about it. It is also most likely that the sermon before the commons was also published 2 . The two following were i o ! >efore that time. The Conduct required in Matters of Faith. An Ordination Sermon at St. Pauls London. March 13, 1719. On I Thess. 5, v. 21. London. 8vo. 1720. [Also iu 4to. Nichols' Lit. Anecd. I. 186.] The Sure Word of Prophecy. A Sermon preached before the 1 5 University of Cambridge, at St. Mary's, June 24, 1724. On 2 Pet. 1, c. 19. Cambridge. 4to. 1724. [2nd ed. Camb. 1724, Svo. pp. 39.] It is not to be wondered at that I have been thus diffuse and long on the subject of Dr. Nevvcome, who was master of St. John's during my 20 years residence in the university : and tho' I knew 20 him not as an acquaintance, yet had occasion to know somewhat of his character from those who were. In a note at p. 26 of Anecdotes biographical and literary of Mr. Wm. Bowyer, printer, it is said that " Dr. Newcome printed once a " sermon, and carried it to Cambridge, because he could not print it 25 "in London decently, unless withWm. Bowyer." If this alludes to the sermon printed in 1724 at Cambridge, it is doing injustice to the doctor ; as it cannot fairly be said to be carried to Cambridge to be printed, since it was preached there. Mr. Bowyer was piqued with Dr. Squire 3 , the dr's. nephew, for his employing another printer than 30 himself, as he had been a pupil 4 at St. John's college to his uncle. From this connexion it seems, Mr. Bowyer thought he had a right to monopolize all the publications from that quarter. It was printed by Mr. Job. Nichols, Mr. Bowyer's partner, in a small brochure of 52 pages in Svo. at London, and sent by Mr. Nichols to St. John's col- 35 lege library Sept. 21, 1778, the year it was printed in. See Gent. Mag. for 1779, p. 582, in relation to a picture in Mr. Wright's possession. 1 [Rob. H., M.A. by mandate 1762]. 2 [Yes; in 4to. Nichols, Ltt. Anecd.

Ashby, and shewed me the letter. Being old, and in a declining way, and seemingly distressed with the application, and complaining of the having to answer it as a hardship ; I offered to answer it fur him ; which he gladly accepted' (Nichols, Lit. Anecd. II. 410, 411)]. 1032 JOHN NEWCOME, TWENTY-SEVENTH MASTER (COLE). Dec. 14, 1748, the duke of Newcastle was elected in the senate house chancellor of the university : as soon as Dr. Chapman, the vice-chancellor, had declared the election of the duke, Dr. New- come, who stood close to him, pulled off his cap, and flourished it round three or four times over his head. v. my Vol. 51. p. 117. 5 See the Capitade, printed in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1781, p. 530. In Geo. ii.'s time, when he was at Hanover, the deanery of Peter- borough became vacant, and the duke of Newcastle engaged to get it for Dr. Newcome : but bp. Thomas of Salisbury, as he was afterwards, * being then at Hanover, the king gave it to him ; so that the duke was in a puzzle and wrote to him from England to waive that ap- pointment and he would more amply provide for him : but Dr. Tho- mas would not be persuaded to quit his hold, thinking perhaps that a deanery in possession was worth two in reversion.

Ambrose Bonwicke (Life, p. 80) to his father, 17 Febr. 17 rf : 'I'm 35 return'd very luckily for lectures, for on 8(Ctnrday our sub-tutor, Mr. AVw- come, begun TaqueCt Euclid to us, and yesterday he began to read to us ItohauWs Physics.' Dr. Newcome became a member of the gentlemen's society at Spalding 3 Sept. 1730 (Nichols, Lit. Anerd. vi. 100). 40 In the year 1764 John Jones of Welwyn, whose Free and candid dis- fjuhltiiins relating to the church of England, (1749) gave rise to the con- troversy regarding subscription (see the indexes to Nichols, Lit. Anecd.), wrote of Caleb Parnham then lately dead (Nichols, I. 628, 629): 'This JOHN NEWCOME, TWENTY- SEVENTH MASTER (NOTES). 1033 excellent man, being the best of tutors at St. John's, Cambridge, and of long standing, was one of the candidates for the headship of the college at the last election ; the late Dr. [Phil.] Williams being the other principal opponent. The votes being much upon a par, and neither party willing to c yield, the flying squadron, as it was then called, managed matters so suc- cessfully, that the present worthy dean of Rochester gained the contested point. Intrigues of colleges are commonly managed, as those in the state, ecclesiastical and civil, generally are.' Ibid. vm. 378 (of Parnham) : 'gene- rally dean of the college ; and an excellent disciplinarian (which, by the IO way, might be the principal reason that he did not succeed in his competi- tion for the headship).' Wm. Clarke, sometime fellow of St. John's (ibid. IV. 405, 406) to Wm. Bowyer, 1 Apr. 1 736 : ' I have heard the history of St. John's election, but so imperfectly that it only raises my curiosity. I want to know who the I r six fellows were that did Dr. Newcome so remarkable a piece of service. I wrote to Mr. Taylor about the election ; but whether the letter miscarried, or he disliked the freedom of it, I cannot say. I have had no answer. There is no talking of it freely to Dr. W.[illiams ?] How many people make themselves ridiculous for want of steadiness ! They have made the 20 best choice they could whoever were the authors of it.' Bowyer wrote on the back of the letter the names of seven fellows : Barnard, Lowe, Heberden, Green, Fogg, Salisbury, Wiggans [i. e. Wickins], Nichols, Lit. Anecd. vr. 203: 'The late Dr. Newcome, going in his coach through one of the villages near Cambridge, and seeing an old man- 2C sion, called out to an old woman, "Woman, is this a religious house ?" " I don't know what you mean by a religious house," retorted the woman ; "but I believe the house is as honest an house as any of yours at Cam- bridge.'" John Jones to Zach. Grey, 25 Sept. 1735 (Nichols, Lit. Anecd. vm. 290) : 30 'I waited last week upon the master of St. John's, who inquired after you. He was not very well.' He approved Sam. Pegge's Examination, 1739, of the tract of A. A. Sykes on the demoniacs in the N. T. (ibid. 251). John Jones of Welwyn, when in difficulties, looked to him for assist- 35 ance, 14 June 1743 (ibid. vm. 292). Wm. Warburton to Phil. Doddridge 5 Aug. 1741 (Nichols, Lit, Illustr. II. 829) : ' Dr. Newcome. ..was much taken with you ; but blamed Mr. Jones for not telling him that it was Dr. Doddridge of Northampton, because he believes he said some things too freely of the dissenters.' 40 Phil. Doddridge to his wife, Cambridge, 18 June 1741 (Correspondence, IV. 27): 'I waited yesterday on Dr. Middleton, who shewed me the fine university library, and some of the most curious MSS. in the world. I was most courteously entertained by Dr. Newcome.' Newcome had a reputation for encouraging literary labour. Jos. Pote ac the Eton bookseller to Zach. Grey, 21 Sept. 1743, speaking of a new edition of Cave, Hist. Liter. (Nichols, Liter. Jllustr. m. 706) : ' I was myself to wait on Dr. Newcome of St. John's, but at a time when he was busy ; otherwise, I persuade myself, should have had the favour of that gentle- man's subscription, as also for the college library.' 1034 JOHN XEWCOME, 1WENTY-SEVEKTH MASTER (NOTES). In Prior's Miscellaneous Works, Lond. 1 740. 8vo. pp. xl xlii are verses, dated 14 Nov. 1719, 'to Mr. Prior from St. John's by Mr. J. Newcome.' Five days before, 9 Nov. 1719, 'Mr. Prior had complimented lady Harley in a beautiful copy of verses spoken to her in the library of St. John's college.' 5 The concluding lines seem to indicate a design to build a new chapel : ' In arts and arms, Minerva's equal care, Thy muse adorns the Heroes and the Fair. Once more resume Thy potent Lyre, and end The wond'rous scene ! Religion's lasting Friend. ' So Thod the Wisest Man may'st imitate, And build our Temple equal to our State. Ramparts and towns Amphion's verse could raise ; To build the House of God be Prior's praise.' Thos. Baker"s will, 15 Oct. 1739 (Masters, Life of Baker, 134, 135) : 1 c 'To the rev. and learned Dr. Newcome, master of St. John's college, I leave a ring of a guinea ; with two tables of the masters of St. John's college in frames, with my founder's picture for himself or college, and to his excel- lent lady a ring of one guinea.' Cf. ibid. 43, 1 15. Fras. Peck dedicated to Newcome his poem Herod the great, 'inacknow- 20 ledgement of his favours' (Nichols, Lit. A need. I. 513). Newcome subscribed to Strype's Parker 1 7 1 1 ; to Ford's Articidi 1720 ; to Ri. Grey's Liber Jobi 1742 (7 copies, Nichols, Lit. Illustr.

A portion of his library was sold by auction in 1789 (Nichols, Lit. Anecd. III. 660).

When John Taylor ' heard of Dr. Newcome's death, whom he did not love (and, as we hope his aversions were not many, they might be the stronger) he inquired how he had disposed of his books ; and though the 3 5 account was a very good one, he received it with an air of contempt ; upon which one of the company said, Then, Doctor, do you now take care to do better ; upon which he sunk into seriousness, and said softly, / wish I may' (Nichols ibid.

'Agreed to send Dr. Heberden a collar of brawn every Christmas.' WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER. Elected January 25, 1765. On the death of Dr. Newcome, no less than seven candidates started to succeed him, who were, Dr. Rutherforth who had been long tutor in the college, Dr. Brooke who succeeded him in the Margaret professorship, Dr. Ogden now Woodwardian professor of Natural History, Mr. Skinner late orator of the university, Dr. 5 Powell 1 late tutor in the college, Mr. Alvis fellow of the college, and Mr. now Dr. Frampton, fellow also. How the intrigues of this conclave were carried on is more than I know, being then settled in Buckinghamshire, and never enquiring about it since my return into Cambridgeshire. The result of it how- 10 ever was propitious to Dr. Powell, who was unanimously elected master on the 2.3 January 1765: a post he maintained with the greatest reputation and honour to himself, and credit and advantage to the society, for the space of ten years, bating six days. As his friend Dr. Balguy archdeacon of Winchester, in his pre- 15 face to Dr. Powell's Discourses on various subjects, published the year after his death in 8vo. at London, has given the outlines of his life, which centre chiefly in his literary productions, those being the most important memoirs of an academic; I shall have the less trouble to collect materials, and refer those who are inquisitive about them 20 to what Dr. Balguy has said in his preface ; who observes in general, that his life was uniformly devoted to the interests of sound philoso- phy and true religion. Yet as some persons may not be altogether of the dogmatical opinion of some morose critics 2 , who think every thing besides an account of the literary productions in a studious 25 man's life "is generally a repetition of insignificant actions, and '" might be almost as briefly dispatched as the history of the antedi- " luvians is by Moses, when he tells us, that they lived so many years, " begat sons and daughters, and then died," and may happen to think 1 Arms.

These shew a man as much as his books. Wm. Samuel Powell was born at Colchester in the year 1717 1 , and was admitted into this college in 1734. In the year 1741, he was i o taken into the family of the late lord viscount Townshend, as private tutor to his second son the lion. Charles Townshend afterwards chancellor of the exchequer: and about the end of that year was instituted to the rectory of Colkirk in Norfolk, on lord Townshend's presentation. 15 lie returned to college the year after : took the degree of M.A. and began to read lectures in the college, under, and as assistant to, Mr. Wrigley and Mr. Tunstall : but in the year 1744 he became principal tutor : and the following year was senior taxor of the uni- versity. In 1749 he took his degree of B.D. and in 1753 was insti- 20 tutcd to the rectory of Stibbard 2 , in the gift of lord Townshend. In 1757 he took his degree of D.D. and then preached before the uni- versity on commencement Sunday, in defence of subscriptions to the articles, and printed his sermon ; which, if it gave offence then to the underminers of the established church, gave much more some 15 25 years after, when he reprinted it. In 1761 he quitted the college and took a house in London ; but did not resign his fellowship till 1763. Upon the vacancy occasioned by Dr. Ncwcome's death, ho, was unanimously elected J master of this college on Friday Jan. 2.3, St. Paul's conversion 1765, and on the ensuing election of a vice-chan- 30 cellor in November following the choice fell upon him : for soon after his being made master, he quitted his house in town and came to reside at college, to the sole government of which he dedicated his future life. One circumstance had like to have made a breach be- tween him and his fellows, on his first coining among them : for as 35 he was beneficed by a private patron, they little suspected, that a person of his sufficiency, with his mastership, would have quitted his preferment, in order to better it at the expense of the college, which could have sent off a fellow with a college living. But herein they reckoned without their host : for some 2 or 3 years after his 40 accession to the mastership, the rectory of Freshwater in the Isle of Wight falling vacant by the death of Mr. Culnie, no one imagined it would be taken by the master, for the reasons alleged : but herein 1 [Sept. 27 0.

No. 118, 26 Jan. 1765]. 1044 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (COLE). they were as much disappointed, as they were chagrined : for as he was authorized by the donation to do so, he took institution to it 1 , and generally went thither after the commencement for some months. Indeed it was worth his taking : and no one knew or attended to calculatioas more than he did : for Dr. Ewin of Cam- 5 bridge, who had been his pupil and was much in his confidence, going with him to Freshwater in the summer of 1772, told me on his return, that the master made 500. per an. of it, and might without any injustice raise it to 700. It was not till 1768, that he was instituted to this living : having two years before, in December 2 10 1766, been made archdeacon of Colchester by the king, who had that presentation on the promotion of Dr. Moss to the see of St. David's. Some few years before he attained the mastership of this college, a relation 3 , with whom he had very little acquaintance and less ex- 15 pectation from, left him an ample fortune of about 600. per annum : and to do him all justice, he well deserved it : for he was both hospitable and generous ; and being a single man, had an income equal to most bishopricks, and sufficient room to exercise his generosity. I have already observed, that in 1757 he preached the commence- 20 ment sermon, in defence of subscriptions required by our church. Things were then only brewing: but in 1772, a formal society was instituted at the Feathers tavern in London, by numbers of the clergy who called themselves of the established church, archdeacon Blackburn at the head of them ; in order to petition parliament to 2 5 throw aside all subscriptions, and to let every one into the service and preferments of the church that would only acknowledge the authority of the old and new testament : they were also for taking away all subscriptions in the university ; and so leave every one at large to act and do as he pleased. The infatuation was so strong, 3 that several members of the university were led astray by it ; and I am sorry to record it, that one whole college, and that none of the least, both head and fellows, subscribed this petition. The parlia- ment was too wise to be caught by their plausibilities; they saw it was a scheme that had been hatching by the dissenters for many 35 years : the Candid Disquisitions gave the alarm : and now the king being harassed by a republican faction, and M'ilkes and liberty in full sail, they thought it good to fish in troubled waters, and laid hold of the opportunity, when every thing was in a ferment. It was evi- dently a scheme of the republican faction to throw all things into 4 confusion : the deists, Socinians, Arians all joined in the riot : but 1 [C7. By Wm. Sam.

WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (XOTES). 1053 Tlie estate and manor of Peklen in Essex 1 was left to him by his kinsman Charles Reynolds of Pelden Hall esq. who died in 1760, together with other estates at Little Bentley in the same county. He is enumerated as a writer in the Confessional controversy by 5 the writers of the Gentleman's Magazine for 17 c allowed the students of no year to pass without examination in one of the Gospels, or the Acts of the Apostles ; no talents or acquirements being per- mitted to compensate for the neglect of this. To a knowledge of their studies he added a study of their dispositions and characters, endeavouring to reform what he thought wrong, and encouraging what he saw likely to , produce good fruits : nor ought it to be forgotten, that, if the observance of ancient laws and strict discipline was impressed on the junior members of his society, he himself set the example of obedience ; his attention to college regulations being so great, that he has been known to attend chapel throughout the whole year, without a single omission, though the hour of 1 r morning prayer was then at six o'clock: with such zeal and discretion did this excellent master conduct the affairs of his society, keeping the whole machinery in a state of constant movement and complete adjustment. ' In the year of his election to the mastership of St. John's he was also chosen vice-chancellor of the university; but this official period w r as not co signalised by any remarkable transaction. Soon after its termination he 1056 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWEXTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). obtained the archdeaconry of Colchester; one of the very few in our estab- lishment, which possess a revenue bearing the slightest proportion to the rank and responsibility of the office. Thus his ecclesiastical and college preferments, added to what he had saved as tutor, and the handsome in- come arising from his estates in Essex, enabled him to exercise that mag- 5 nificent hospitality for which he was so noted on all public occasions ; though he was generally frugal aud economical in his private habits. ' The circumstance however of this ample provision gave occasion to con- siderable ill-will, which for a time exi-ted against him amongst the fellows of his college. As he already held a living from private patronage, they !0 supposed that he would not have sought to better his income, by exchang- ing it for such college preferment as lies open to the master's choice : but in this they were mistaken ; for when the valuable rectory of Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, became vacant, Dr. Powell asserted his claim, aud pro- cured institution to it. Here, I am afraid, we find a solution to the mystery 15 of his election, which puzzled the worthy antiquary Mr. Cole ; and if so, no one can be sorry for the disappointment of the fellows : at any rate, their anger against the master was perfectly unreasonable : for although the increase arising from the exchange was a matter of no great consideration to Dr. Powell, yet he well knew that it might be of the first importance to 20 his successor ; who, if the living went into other hands, might possibly be kept out of it during the whole period of his mastership. Justice therefore demanded that he should not forego a piece of preferment, wdiich seems to have been left to the college for the very purpose of enabling its head to support the dignity of his station. 25 'The fellows however soon found that their master was not a niggard of his wealth : for when they had determined to lay out their gardens, under the direction of the celebrated Mr. Brown, and to face with stone the south side of their first court, he not only proposed that application for assistance should be made to opulent members of the college, but himself beaded the 30 subscription with the sum of 500 ; "an instance of generosity," says Mr. Cole, " which in a great measure effaced and wiped off the obliquity of his conduct in the affair of Freshwater." I find it stated however, that he was in the habit of performing other acts of generosity still more laudable than this; that to several undergraduates he occasionally gave sums of 35 money ; to others he allowed an annual stipend in order that they might complete their studies : and at his own expense gave prizes to those who distinguished themselves at the public examinations. ' In the mean time the course of events brought Dr. Powell more con- spicuously before the public eye. His celebrated commencement sermon, 40 having been much read and much criticised, had brought out several an- swers. By some, even of his own party, it was thought to have betrayed the cause which it undertook to support ; its principal aim indeed being to conciliate inexperienced minds and tender consciences, rather than to defend the practice of subscription on high church principles, this untenable ground 45 was eagerly seized on by that faction, which opposed all terms of subscrip- tion whatever, and demanded not only unlimited toleration, but unlimited licence. The doctor, having asserted that "young people may give a general assent to the articles, on the authority of others, and thus leave room for improvements in theology;" this was taken to imply, that such sub- 50 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (\OTES). 1057 scribers are left at liberty to retract their assent, if, in the progress of their studies, they should find what they assented to inconsistent with their sub- sequent discoveries and theological acquirements. Then came tlie questions : How will you limit the period of submission and of inquiry ? and will 5 not many of niaturer years avail themselves of this uncertainty, and so readily subscribe to articles, which have been represented as " having rules of interpretation peculiar to themselves," whilst the subscription itself has been stated to mean little more than " an acknowledgement that the sub- scriber is a member of the Church of England?" ' I o Pp. xi, xii : ' Hence it was argued, that, if subscription to the articles was intended to be a test of faith and doctrine, this benefit never could be obtained from it, by reason of the latitude allowed by its advocates and taken by its opponents : therefore it would be the wisest course to do away altogether with a test, which, whilst it prohibited many worthy persons from I C entering into the service of the church, let in those that were less scru- pulous and less conscientious. ' These insinuations and attacks could not fail to stir up many among the more sturdy champions of our establishment. One of the first that buckled on his armour was Dr. Kutherforth, who skirmished with the 20 author of the Confessional, as it is observed, "in the old posture prescribed by the ancient system of church authority." Among others that dis- tinguished themselves in the same cause, were Dr. Randolph, Dr. Halifax, and Dr. Balguy ; though this latter gentleman appeared rather late in the field. 25 'The principal writers on the other side of the question were archdeacon Blackburn e author of the Confessional, Dr. Dawson, Dr. Priestley, with the celebrated Dr. Jebb and his wife. This lady, under the assumed title of Priscilla, assailed the most formidable of her husband's opponents, answer- ing their arguments, detecting their weak points, and rebuking their in- 30 vectives, with great acuteness, poignancy, and effect.' P. xiii : ' The undergraduates themselves were also stirred up to refuse sub - scription, and to remonstrate with their superiors. In June 1769 they pre- sented a petition to the heads for an alteration of their scholastic dress, and it was granted ; for it went no farther than to change the figure of their 35 caps from round to square. It seems probable however that this was only put forth as a. feeler; for in January, 1772, another petition was offered, which went the length of demanding a release from subscription, unless (as it was added with a show of modesty) they were instructed beforehand in the articles which they were required to subscribe. But this being con- 40 sidered as subversive of discipline, and laying a foundation for sedition, was rejected.' After the republication of his commencement sermon in 1772, Dr. Powell, though violently assailed, (pp. xiv, xv) 'made no reply to his accusers: but the question was taken up by his friend, Dr. Balguy, archdeacon of Win- 45 Chester; who, in the fifth of his admirable charges, seems to have placed the question on its most tenable grounds; making it also manifest to his op- ponents, that as much integrity and candour may be exercised in supporting established institutions, as in attacking and depreciating them. 'The hopes of the faction in the metropolis were at this time much 1058 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). elated ; and they fully expected, amidst the alarm of republican tumults, and the seditious cries of " Wilkes and Liberty," to carry their favorite measure : but the parliament saw through the scheme laid for the destruc- tion of our ecclesiastical establishment by dissenters of all descriptions; nor was it moved by any remonstrances from the discontented of the church 5 itself, who had joined themselves to its adversaries : it rejected therefore the petition by a very large majority : but it is a curious circumstance, that in this very year (1772) the questionists in our university were released from subscription to the thirty-nine articles, the following declaration being introduced in its stead : "7, A.B. do declare that I am, bona fide, a member IO of the Church of England, as by laic established." Whether Dr. Powell had any hand in this alteration, I am unable to discover : it is certain that his name does not appear in the syndicate appointed to consider the case. 'But though the petitioners were defeated in parliament, their leader at Cambridge did not give up the cause. On Sunday, Dec. 27, 1772, he x 5 preached before the university, and took occasion to consider the question concerning subscription, as fully as the time and place permitted. His text was taken from Acts xv. 10. Next day however he delivered a discourse from the same pulpit on the spirit of benevolence. This gentleman, who had been so indefatigable in writings and exertions of every description, 20 seems to have possessed probity, talents, and attainments of no ordinary kind ; but an ardent temper led him, like many others, to outrun the course of events, and thus to retard, instead of accelerating, the progress of im- provement.' Pp. xvi, xvii: 'The question concerning subscription being now for a time 25 set at rest, Mr. Jebb next turned his attention to the state of discipline and education in Cambridge. He saw the necessity of an essential reform, not only to counteract those early habits of idleness and dissipation which ge- nerally prevailed, and particularly among students of the higher ranks ; but to diminish that exclusive devotion to scientific knowledge, which seems 30 scarcely compatible with the notion of a university. Accordingly he brought forward repeatedly proposals for an annual public examination, which should include every order of student, and offer adequate encourage- ment to all the branches of a liberal education. In this design he was sup- ported by many influential persons in the university, particularly by those 3 c who had cheered his former labors. In the stormy controversy which ensued, Airs. Jebb again took an active part, following her spouse to the contest, like another Gildippe sempre affissa al caro fanco. After scatter- ing a few missiles from the Whitehall Post, she published a letter to the author of "An Observation on the Design of establishing annual Examina- 40 tions at Cambridge," generally ascribed to Dr. Powell ; and it must be confessed, that the objections of the Observer and his adherents were re- pelled with sufficient spirit and acuteness.' Pp. xxii xx v: 'Thus ended Mr. J ebb's exertions in a cause, which we may believe he took up and prosecuted with good intentions; and we may do this 43 w ithout impugning the motives of those who so vigorously opposed his projects. If it be useful to society, that there should exist ardent spirits, who fearlessly attack institutions that are based on the foundation of time and exj>erience; it is equally so, that such institutions should find resolute and steady de- fend is, t<. prevent the ill effects of sudden, violent, and ill-digested schemes 50 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 1059 of innovation. Our principal concern being with Dr. Powell's opposition, it may safely be asserted, that there appears no reason to sanction the im- putation cast on him by his adversaries at the time, that it arose from a desire to preserve that superiority over the rest of the university, which his 5 own college had obtained by means of the examinations which he had him- self instituted : on the contrary, there is every reason to believe, that he would gladly have seen the same species of reformation introduced and flourishing in every other college of the university. This indeed was his favorite scheme ; and with respect to it, he observes in his pamphlet, that I O all the facts which he had briefly stated, and all the reasoning on them, led to this one observation ; That the business of education, both of government and instruction, is conducted with more success, as it has been conducted for some ages, under the domestic discipline of each college, than it coxdd be under the direction of the senate. "Whatever reformation is wanted," he says 1 5 again, " among our youth, it may easily be introduced in the separate colleges : the master and fellows of each college have all the powers that can be wanted for this purpose." He was strongly opposed to any system which appeared to relax the ties existing between tutor and pupil, by en- trusting the direction as well as the reward of studies to examiners chosen 2 annually, and therefore " wholly strangers to most of the students, to their abilities, their previous education, and the professions or stations for which they were designed." "Those," he observes, "who rightly conceive the effects of such a change, will be remiuded by it of the architect, who, dissa- tisfied with our old buildings, proposed, about the middle of the last cen- 25 tury, to pull them all down except King's College Chapel, and to erect in their stead one ample and uniform structure, such as it behooveth an academy to be in a free and well-ordered common wealth." Whatever may be the in- trinsic merits of Dr. Powell's plan, scarcely any one, who is acquainted with university discipline, will deny its excellence as an intermediate step, 30 before the introduction .of so great a change as that which was contem- plated ; the utility of which may very fairly be questioned, when we con- sider the unwieldy machinery by which it was to be effected. On this point I feel happy to confirm my opinion by the recorded sentiments of one, whose zeal in the cause of sound learning never was doubted, whose know- 35 lege of our academical institutions is probably unrivalled at the present day, and who was one of the most active promoters of those public examinations, which have at length rescued our Alma Mater from the reproaches to which she was so long exposed. "Happening,"' says this public-spirited individual, " to have lately examined the history and details of Mr. Jebb's 40 proposals, as given by himself, I think it right to avow my opinion, that the resistance made to them by Dr. Powell and others, was not only justi- fiable, but laudable ; since their practical result, had they succeeded, must have been to take all direction of education out of the hands of the respec- tive colleges, and to place it in those of persons nominated in an order 45 following the cycle of proctors (and therefore almost excluding the con- sideration of their fitness), who were to have prescribed the studies of each year. There were several parts of this large machinery, which, unless the university was very differently constituted in the year 1772 than it is at present, could hardly have been turned to any practical benefit. Several 50 different schemes of reform were subsequently proposed by Mr. Jebb, with- 1060 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). out success ; all tending to reduce the whole university into the state of one vast and unwieldy college, without making any effectual provision for its administration in this altered state. One of these plans, were it to be named at the present day, would meet with loud and unanimous reproba- tion ; I mean, a separation of the noblemen and fellow-commoners from the 5 other students, and subjecting them to a different ordeal. My motive for mentioning this piece of academical history, suggested by the course of my argument, is a wish to correct some erroneous notions which prevail re- specting the conduct of Dr. Powell, a most able, learned, and public- spirited character; who, from the impulse which he gave to academical IO study, deserves to be recorded as one of the greatest benefactors, not only of his own college, but the whole university." [Footnote. Letter of Philo- grantus (J. H. Monk) to John Lord Bishop of Lincoln, p. 37.] ' After the foregoing attestation to Dr. Powell's merits, on this question little more need be said. If the opposition which he made to Mr. Jebb's 1 5 proposals should still appear to any one illiberal, or his conduct domineering and contemptuous, let it be considered, that he himself was at all events on the safe side of the question; he did not try unknown ground, but ad- vanced, though slowly, yet surely, on the road towards perfection; whilst in the schemes of Mr. Jebb he saw nothing but presumptuous folly and 20 factious innovation. Every thing emanating from such a source must have been viewed by him with more than ordinary alarm : timeo Danaos, et dona fercntcs, must have been the sentiment uppermost in the mind of this orthodox Tory, whenever his political opponents sought to make any alter- ation in the existing order of things. With such sentiments, and those 25 conscientiously entertained, it would have been derogatory to Dr. Powell's character if he hail remained inactive, or if he had not taken that station in the contest to which his talents and his rank entitled him.' P. xxvi : ' Over the vault in which his remains were deposited was laid a flat blue stone, with the following epitaph, drawn up by his intimate 3 friend Dr. Balguy: M. S.

To four of the fellows also lie bequeathed his books. ' To what has been already said of Dr. Powell very little remains that WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 10G1 can lie added. With regard to his person, he is represented as having been small in stature, with a florid complexion, and prominent eyes: in disposi- tion he seems to have been domineering; and, like the disciples of the Warburtonian school, who were his chief associates, he contracted strong 5 antipathies, as he cherished hearty friendships. He was a great encourager of youthful talent, especially when he found it united with modesty; and in other respects also, he was aware of the responsibility which rests on the possessor of wealth. Like the celebrated Linnoeus, Dr. Johnson, and many such, whose organs were in other respects happily formed and arranged, he lO had no ear for music; but his taste in works of imagination was not less excellent than his judgement in matters of more abstruse speculation. " Yet this taste," says Mr. Mason, in his Life of Whitehead, "always appeared native and his own: he did not seem to have brought it with him from a great school, nor to have been taught it by a celebrated master. He never 15 dealt in the indiscriminate exclamations of 'excellent' and 'sublime:' but if he felt a beauty in an author, was ready with a reason why he felt it to be such; a circumstance, which those persons, who, with myself, attended his lectures on the Poetics of Aristotle, will both acknowledge and reflect on with pleasure."' ' 20 Powell was a friend of bp. Rd. Hurd (Kilvert's Life of Ilurd, 45, 51, 247). He wrote to Tho. Balguy 6 Febr. 1765 (ibid. 93,94): 'I rejoice with you very sincerely (and desire you will let our friend know it) on Dr. Powell's election to the mastership of St. John's. Merit is so rarely found in its own place, that I confess I did not much expect this event, though 2 C you had given me some assurance of it. I hope the state of the university is better than you represent it. If not, I know of nothing so likely to re- trieve its credit as two or three such elections as this. I should indeed have thought the thing done, if the Margaret professorship had been as well disposed of as the mastership.' Same to same, 11 Nov. 17 75 (ibid. 128): 30 ' Let me know when you come hither, and when you think of putting Dr. Powell's sermons, and I hope something of your own, to the press.' Others of his intimate friends were Win. Ludlam (E. T. Vaughan's Life of Tho. Jlobinson, 68); Wm. Mason (Nichols, Lit. A need. II. 712); Wm. Bowyer, who served as his banker (ibid. in. 231, 232); Wm. White- 2 C head the poet, son of a Cambridge baker (ibid. 195) ; Jas. Tunstall (Nichols, Lit. llluslr. iv. 373). He doubted the soundness of John Taylor's know- ledge of law (Lit. Anecd. iv. 724). He had no ear for music (ibid. 511). Geo. Ashby, ibid. IX. 622: ' Dr. Powell told me, that a man who was in- timate with another might always find him out.' jo F. Blackburne writes to Wm. Bowyer 16 Nov. 1766 (ibid. III. 10): 'The history of the clause [of art. xx.], passed in the lords' house, and rejected by the commons, did not escape me. But it was made use of in a pamphlet published by Mr. Millar against Dr. Powell's subscription sermon some years ago ; and I was aware, that if the author of The confessional should j.z ever come to be known, it would at the same time be known, that the same person was the author of that pamphlet.' In the life of Blackburne prefixed to his works (vol. I. p. xxvii) we read: 'The report then [1757] was, that Dr. Rutherford (between whom and Dr. Powell there was a kind of rival- ship) had in some public exercise thrown out, that these subscriptions were 50 intended by the church as a real and proper test of the uniformity of 1062 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (XOTES). opinions, and consequently that it was the duty of those, of whom they were required, to subscribe in the strict literal sense of the several eccle- siastical forms to which they put their names. This opinion Dr. Powell in the abovementioned sermon thought fit to controvert, insisting that a latitude was allowed to subscribers even so far as to admit of the assent 5 and consent of different persons, to different and even opposite opinions, according to their different interpretations of the propositions to be sub- scribed. Dr. Powell's casuistry on the subject appeared to Mr. B. so detestable, and so subveisive of the principles of good faith among men, that he determined to expose and refute it to the best of his power, and IO accordingly prepared, and in a little time published,' Remarks on the Rev.

Re- printed in Blackburne*s Works VI. 1 108. Advertisement: 'The excellent letter to the Rev. Dr. Powell did not fall into the hands of the author of these Remarks, till his papers were gone to the press. This was so far his 20 misfortune, as so much of (perhaps all) his pains might otherwise have been spared. Great however is his pleasure in finding so many of his sentiments on this subject in perfect agreement with those of so able and judicious a writer.' The Letter in question is probably : The hardship atid danger of subscrip- 25 tions represented, in a letter to W. S. Powell. Lond. 1758. 8vo. [Brit. Mus.]. The point mainly insisted upon by Blackburne is the danger to public morality of allowing latitude in subscriptions. Vol. VI. p. 7 : ' The defender of subscriptions now before us, thinks it sufficient for you to give your ? assent on the authority of others. Little should I have expected to have met with such a dispensation from an eminent tutor in a protestant university.' P. 17: ' With respect to subscription to the articles, many are apt to lay hold of that latitude, asserted by Dr. Clarke and other defenders of what Dr. Waterland called Arian subscription; the same latitude indeed -> r pleaded for and adopted by the Rev. Dr. Powell ; but with this difference, that the Doctors Clarke, Sykes, Sec. (little satisfied, it should seem, with this expedient, and looking upon it as little better than what Shakespeare calls a cursed necessity) never forget to wind up their apologias with some complaints and animadversions on such kind of tests, and warm reinon- 40 strancts for a review of the particulars to which they relate ; whereas the more modern doctor assigns this latitude as an unanswerable reason why subscriptions in their present form should be continued to our latest pos- terity.' After the publication of John Jones' Free and candid disquisitions had ac been forgotten (pp. 26, 27), 'in the midst of this repose and tranquillity, sti 1 a forth the zealous Dr. Powell, once more to blow the trumpet of do- fiance in the ears of all dissatisfied dissenters from our establishment ; to the -r.at surprise, as I have been informed, of some of the church's warm- < -t friends, who cannot find out the propriety of reviving on her part a 150 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 1003 controversy, in which she has seldom gathered any laurels, and which for that reason had been so prudently laid asleep. ' The doctor has, it is true, gone a good deal out of the common road ; so far indeed that his sermon has but little affinity with what is promised in 5 the title of it. The title, as I said before, breathes nothing but defiance ; but upon a nearer view of the champion and his weapons, you find him all lenity and indulgence, and disposed to compromise matters by such extra- ordinary concessions on the part of the church, that one cannot help sus- pecting he must have exceeded the bounds of his commission, supposing IO him to have had an}-.' Pp. 31 seq. deal with Powell's maxim : ' It is of more importance to the peace and happiness of a community, that its members should speak than think alike ;' and with the reason for it : ' For they who have learned to confess their faith in the same form, will consider each other as friends, 15 even though they should disagree not a little in their explanations of it.' P- 33 : ' Upon the doctor's plan of peace and happiness, mental re- serves, and other accommodating methods of equivocation, can have but few bad effects upon the community.' Powell's statement that assent is given 'to the use, not the truth of the 20 liturgy' is conclusively refuted (p. 40) ; and also his singular doctrine: 'The greatest part of mankind always think that ceremony right to which they have been accustomed. Nor are they much mistaken. For in matters of this sort nothing is plainly wrong but change' (p. 51). On which Black- burne comments (51, 52): 'In plain english, all ceremonies, religious as 25 well as others, which have prescription on their side, are right ; and they only in the wrong icho attempt to change or abolish them. The ancient pagan ceremonies icerc right ; so are the mahometan ; so icere the Jewish ceremonies.'' P. 62 : ' If two or more men subscribe an article each in a different sense, that article immediately ceases to be an article of peace ; and diver- 3 sities of opinion are not thus avoided, but rather promoted ; or at least made more public than they would otherwise have been. For it is very possible that many of these subscribers would have had no other oppor- tunity or temptation to have signified some of their opinions, but this of subscribing. On the other hand, if one or more men subscribe these arti- 5: cks as articles of peace, without any respect to their opinions; or as some have explained this, as engaging not to contradict them, they cease to be a test of opinions. Consent touching true religion is not established by such subscription.' Of the subscriptions of undergraduates Powell had said (ed. Balguy, 40 p. 41): 'They may acknowledge themselves members of the church of England and declare, that they have no objection to her articles, but a belief of them grounded on the authority of others. And nothing farther, I suppose, does any man conceive to be meant by their subscriptions.' In Blackburne's Reflexions on the fate of a j>etition for relief in the AC matter of subscription, offered to the ..house of commons February 6th, 1772 {Worts vn. 47 49K he says that this declaration of Powell's was one of the main motives for substituting for subscription the declaration of bona v fide membership of the church of England. 'The cant indeed was, that for a man to declare himself bona fide a member of the church of England 1064 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWEXTY-EIGHTH MASTER (XOTEs). as by law established, was equivalent only to declaring, that he was no papist, or presbyterian. But when the young man, [Footnote. Dr. Thomas Blackburne, a physician at Durham, since deceased, then a candidate for a bachelor of arts degree, a student of Peterhouse] who chose rather to forego his degree, than to be insnared by this insidious substitution, had 5 desired in vain to have this explanation authenticated by the public avowal of those who composed the new form, and who should best know their own meaning, the deception was at an end, the dexterity of the manoeuvre in increasing the burden under the appearance of an alleviation, stood con- fessed.' Cf. ibid. 224, 225. P. 226: 'To excuse this [the unintelligent IO subscription of candidates for orders] on the footing of Dr. Powell's ex- pedient, viz. that they may subscribe on the authority of others, is not quite so decent, in the case of those who are about to be sent out as teachers of religion, and might be liable to the repartee which was made to Pierce, bishop of Bath and Wells, by a poor man, whom the said bishop required 1 5 to assent to the common prayer book, when the Bartholomew act took place. The man desired he might be permitted to read it, before he was compelled to assent to it. "You have already read it," says the bishop, "by the mouth of the convocation, which is your representative." If that is the case, replied the poor man, let it suffice for me to assent to it by the 20 mouth of the convocation. It is, I own, beyond my skill to find out, on what other grounds this practice can be continued.' In vol. v. 525 Blackburne remarks on the same words of Powell's : ' Which, as I take it, implies a supposition that these young subscribers are left at liberty to retract their assent to the articles, if, in the progress of 25 their studies, they find what they assented to inconsistent with their farther discoveries and improvements in theology. And, if this is really the case, why would not the preacher speak out ? This sermon, so far as I know, is the last formal defence of the sub- scriptions required in the church of England, that hath yet appeared ; and 30 is so well calculated to make all ends meet, that it is a thousand pities it should ever be superseded by any new production upon the subject, which should change the posture of defence The sermon had placed and left subscriptions in the most commodious position imaginable, namely, upon the broad bottom of a latitude of which no man could see the extent or 35 limits; a latitude calculated on purpose to admit within the pale of the rhurch, men of various, and even opposite principles. There was no fear that the honesty of any subscriber should, upon this plan, be called in question ; for, the larr/cr its compass is, the more honest men will it compre- hend ; and perhaps there is no danger, even in times of the ijreatest freedom 40 and candour, that it should Income too wide. It would be hard to say what religious principles a man must entertain, who could not, upon this footing, honestly subscribe any confession.' P. 526 : ' No doubt but this reverend doctor's expedient has been most thankfully received by a great many subscribers within the last ten years, 45 and the rather, as in all that time the church hath nut declared against it.' Cf. p. 527. Ibid. ji. 512 : ' I)o not the very champions of the church insist, that the words of these articles are general and indeterminate, and susceptible of WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 1065 different senses ! Has not this been lately asserted from the pulpit, in the face of the university of Cambridge, at the solemn time of commencement, in a sermon afterwards printed, and dispersed all over the nation V In Gilb. Wakefield's Memoirs (ed. 2. I. 376 380) is a cynical letter to 5 him, dated 10 Sept. 1778, which, if genuine (the name is suppressed), shews that Powell's authority was invoked to support conscious dishonesty: 'You have doubts on the subject of our articles, and where is the man who has not at least I should have a very bad opinion both of the sense and the heart of such a man. But the only difference between us is, that you sup- JO pose no man in such circumstances can conscientiously subscribe to articles which he does not believe. You have certainly seen Powell's sermon upon that subject, and let us abuse him as much as we will, it is the case, that they are, and must be, subscribed in different senses by different men. And do you really think that every man who subscribes is guilty of perjury, but I 5 the very few who understand them literally ? Perjury perhaps is too harsh a term ; subscribing that a thing is true, being very different from swearing to the truth of it. ' But you, at least, think us guilty of gross prevarication ; and here re- mains the difficulty, whether you think the possession of the comforts, and, 20 what some think, the honours of life, worth such a prevarication, or no. This, my dear Wakefield, you only can determine. Fccerunt alii et multi, Ct boni.' 1 The editors add : ' We have understood that this gentleman, as might not unreasonably be expected, afterwards obtained considerable preferment. 25 Sic itur ad astra? Wakefield replied (ibid. 381), 2 Oct. 1778 : 'I give my judgement on Powell's sermon with much diffidence, it is so long since I read it, and I have it not by me: all I can recollect of the matter is, that his argument appeared to me then by no means satisfactory ; rather calculated to evade 30 than determine the debate. However, if at the best every man subscribe in a different and indecisive sense, there is in my opinion no alternative ; let such articles be abolished; that subscription is an absurdity and a snare : and, if it exclude any from the church, will exclude only the deserving.' Blackburne's Works VII. -2 22: 'The learned Doctor Powell, the oracle 35 of Cambridge on every question concerning subscription, hath thought it time enough for a young man to subscribe his bare assent to the presumptive truth of such and such credenda (concerning which he is farther to be in- structed) at the time of his taking his first degree. But the Oxford Advo- cate thinks it not at all too early for the stripling to give this assent at his 40 matriculation, and backs his sentiment with the authority of the primitive church in her treatment of catechumens. See Gent. Mag. for July 1773, P- 39-' In 1765 Win. Paley gained the members' prize as senior bachelor. The Latin essay had long English notes ; oh which one of the heads condemned 45 it : ' he supposed the author had been assisted by his father, some country- clergyman, who having forgotten his Latin had written the notes in Eng- lish.' Powell spoke warmly in its favour: 'it contained more matter than was to be found in all the others:... it would be unfair to reject such a disser- tation merely on suspicion ; since the notes were applicable to the subject, 10G6 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (\OTES). and shewed the author to be a young man of the most promising abilities and extensive reading.' This opinion turned the balance in Paley's favour (Meadley's Life of Paley, 26, 27, ed. 1809 ; or pp. 45, 46, ed. 1810). John Nichols to Wm. Bowyer, who was thinking of undertaking the university press, 15 Sept. 1765 {Lit. Anecd. 11. 459): 'For 7 years last 5 past the university have cleared 1300 annually; besides farming the almanack (200 more). This might at least be doubled by opening the trade in new channels. If any bookseller of reputation would enter into a scheme with you, an immense fortune would be certainly raised To- morrow I wait on Dr. Powell with your proposals, a little enlarged.' IO John Jebb (Works II. 320) gives the following account of the reception of his first grace for an annual examination (in 1773) : ' Upon the eighth of May, I offered my grace in form to the caput. ' After three quarters of an hour spent in deliberation, during which time, as it afterwards appeared, the partiality of the syndicate, as not containing 1 5 a complete representation of the colleges, was chiefly objected to, Dr. Powell put in his non-placet, (in giving which he was not single), and the grace was consequently rejected.' On the 12 May Jebb offered his 2nd, 3rd and 4th graces, but they also were rejected in the caput. 'At the offering of the 3rd grace, Dr. Powell, 20 then a member of the caput, was inclined to move a grace to prevent Mr. Jebb from offering any other graces, and even would have undertaken for its success [cf. Jebb's Works II. 313]; but, as Mr. Jebb expressed him- self in a private letter, dated the next day, this was such an outrage, that the most furious opposers of my motion declared against it. Yesterday morn- 25 ing, at a meeting of the heads, it teas proposed I should be censured for pub- licly denying the paramount authority of the heads [printed by mistake, head] above the senate. Dr. [Edin.] Law stood resolutely my friend, as I have been told by the Queens' men The majority of the university were, a week ago, in favour of my scheme; but acts of desjwlism debase the minds of 30 those who are inthralled, and no sooner did many see that tlie higher powers were against me, than they also revolted, and sought to justify by argument the illiberal behaviour of their seniors. Several Johnians were for me, though their master was against me so bitterly. Dr. [Ri. ] Watson, and many men of Trinity, were strenuously my friends. I insisted that the question was the x~. proper concern of the senate; and that after I had brought it to a general vote, I had no further desire: that whether they acceded or rejected the plan of annual examinations, I would trouble them 110 more ; but thai 'till I had got a grace through t)u caput, I should think it my duty to persevere' (Disney's Memoirs of Jebb, 48, 49). 40 Jebb wrote on 22 June 1773 [ibid. 50) : 'I have l>een very ill used by the vicechancellor [Win. Cooke of King'*], who did everything but refuse me an " imprimatur" to the 3rd edition of my Remarks: but I carried my point at last, after 3 days work. Dr. Powell was to be consulted, and I was obliged to strike out some parts before I was permitted to use my 45 privilege of the university press. I told them, that the heads gave counte- nance to lil>els written against me, but I recorded only facts ; and if they were liliels, the actors in them were alone accountable. I toM them that J would stay at Cambridge all the vacation, rather than fail ; that I would WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY- EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 10G7 describe their conduct to the public, if they refused me. When you see the gentle manner in which I have spoken of them, you will be amazed at their tyranny.' On 17 Febr. 1774 Jebb carried his grace for a syndicate, on which were, 5 among others, Ri. Watson, Sam. Hallifax, Ri. Beadou, Ri. Farmer, Wni. Paley, Sam. Squire (Jebb's Works, II. 32c;), and wrote on 16 Mar. 1774 (Disney ibid. 62): 'You cannot imagine how greatly certain spirits are alarmed with the disposition there appears to do something effectual. Dr. Powell and the Emmanuel men and Dr. Hallifax labour to spoil, what the IO friends of literature and good morals are labouring to establish. I trust their power to do harm will be restrained by the general wishes of the university to provide against those early habits of dissipation, which are formed through the want of proper objects for employment.' Jebb wrote again 30 Mar. 1774 (p. 64): 'Farmer declares it will be the 15 ruin of the university and shake the foundations of the constitution both in church and state. [Dan.] Longmire, [Jas.] Lambert, [Wm.] Collier, [John] Hey, Beadon, are strenuous in their support. You cannot imagine the vehemency of Dr. Powell and Mr. [Ste.] Whisson. Yet I trust the cause of literature will triumph.' 20 The proposals of the syndicate were rejected 19 Apr. and 'certain of the adversaries of annual examinations talked of perpetuating their victory over learning and morals by striking a medal with the inscription, Aca- demia liberata, Apr. 19, 1774' (ibid. 71). The names of those who voted 28 Oct. 1774 for an examination of noblemen and fellow-commoners are 25 printed ibid. 79, 80. Ibid. 81 : 'In the following month [Nov. 1774], there was also published another tract, entitled, An observation on the design of establishing annual, examinations. This pamphlet, though anonymous, was generally ascribed to Dr. Powell ; it was not written in so good a temper as the former [A 30 letter to the author of the plan for the establishing of public examinations] ; but in respect to its matter more deserving of notice. These little tracts toge- ther occasioned a third, entitled, A letter to the author of an observation; upon this, it will be sufficient for me to say, that it was written by a lady ; and that it was generally understood that Dr. Powell felt as sensibly the 35 pointed arguments of Priscilla's pen, as another reverend divine had done before him.' Priscilla was Mrs. Jebb ; the divine, Sam. Hallifax, who called on Wilkie the publisher, to advise him not to print any more of her letters. Of her reply to Dr. Thomas Randolph Paley said, The Lord hath sold Sitera into the hand of a teaman (Meadley's Life of Paley, ed. 1810, 97, 40 9S; Nichols, Lit. Anecd. I. 711, 712). John Jebb, a bitter enemy of Powell's, testifies in his Remarks upon the present mode of education in the university of Cambridge: to which is added, a proposal for its improvement. First published 1772; 4th ed. 1774 (Jebb's Works, 11. 275, 276): 'It may also be urged that there is no necessity for 45 engaging the university in any scheme of alteration, as the plan pursued by the master of St John's college may be adopted in every other society. Most highly do I respect Dr. Powell's character, with legard to his conduct in that department, which he fills with so much honour to himself and advantage to the public ; but his method cannot conveniently be admitted G9 10G8 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). into smaller societies : and, even within his own, it has been observed, that the emulation of youth, for want of a wider range, too often produces pas- sions of a more malignant kind. Footnote. ' [It gives me pain to hear, that some expressions in this para- graph, in which I meant to pay a proper compliment to Dr. Powell on C account of his assiduity in the discharge of his function, as head of an house, have been understood in a sense very different from what I intended. The doctor hath confessedly effected the establishment of exa- minations within the walls of his own college ; and the fact was mentioned by me to his praise. If an institution, highly beneficial in the main, has io been attended with one bad consequence, which no art, or foresight, could prevent, such failure is to be considered as his misfortune, not his fault ; and should incline him cordially to co-operate in support of a pro- posal, not liable to such an inconvenience ; a proposal, which, if carried into execution, would probably be the source of numerous advantages to K every other society, at the same time that, from his compliance, no sub- stantial injury, but rather an increase of honour, would be derived to his own.]' In the same tract Jebb bears witness to the diligence of the tutors of St John's (p. 272 n.) : 'And it is with pleasure I acknowledge, that the 20 ardour, with which the worthy tutors of Trinity, St. John's, Queens', Caius, and Christ's colleges, have endeavoured to introduce the study of the Greek Testament into their respective societies, entitles them to the thanks of each conscientious parent, and the applause of every liberal mind.' Again in A proposal for the establishment of public examinations in the 25 university of Cambridge. 1774 (ibid. ir. 347, 348): 'If the preceding plan were put in execution, it is humbly conceived that the fellow-cominoners and pensioners may continue to attend the same public lectures ; that it would correspond with the general course, given at present in every college, during the first and second years of residence ; and that it would not mate- 30 rially interfere with the scheme of examinations now established at St John's college. Fool-note. '[This last is a circumstance, which, without a compliment to a gentleman, who certainly merits none at my hands, is unquestionably deserving of some attention. For as, on the one side, it is not reasonable 35 that the university should decline embracing a measure, that is likely to be attended with general advantage, because it may perhaps render less necessary Dr. Powell's merely local institution ; so, on the other, it is but fair and equitable, that the scheme of literary discipline adopted by the university, should bo constructed in such a manner, as not to run counter 40 to the doctor's long-established particular course, which has hitherto been very successful, unless the most evident necessity should so require.]' Again (ibid. 353, 354): 'On the other Hide, it was asserted, that a sepa- ration of the orders, upon such an occasion, and a distinction of studies, would not be strictly academical, and might be esteemed invidious: that 45 some persons were to be found in the rank of pensioners, superior iu point both of family and fortune, to several of the order above them: that the noblemen and fellow-commoners, having more expended on their education, come generally better prepared in classical knowledge ; had often an higher WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY-EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). 10G9 sense of honour, in consequence of their superior station ; and that in St. John's college, where they were examined indiscriminately with the rest, no inconveniences, but on the contrary great advantages, were derived from subjecting all orders to the same discipline, and from proposing to the 5 emulation of all who attend the same public lectures, the same rewards of successful application.' Again, in a fly-sheet signed Chiron, 28 Oct. 1775 (ibid. III. 276, 277): ' Let any man survey the present state of and St. John's college. He will perceive the latter, in consequence of the judicious institution of IO the late truly respectable master, not only first in fame, but affording a contrast of the most striking kind. ' In the one, he will behold each valuable Greek and Roman author with ardour studied; each source of sound philosophy with zeal explored: in the other, the utmost efforts of the present respectable tutors unable to effect 1 5 the most inconsiderable degree of attention to their instructive voice. ' In the one, he will behold a numerous set of learned persons improving youth of the most respectable families and fortunes in every branch of useful literature, themselves hourly improved by their assiduity in their important trust. In the other, but I will not press the comparison any 20 further. Let any Impartial person cast an eye of momentary attention on the two societies ; I am confident we shall not disagree with respect to the premises ; let him draw the conclusion for himself.' Gilb. Wakefield's Memoirs ed. I. p. 105 (ed. II. vol. I. p. 105), speaking of Sam. Forster, senior medallist in Wakefield's year, 1776, afterwards 2~ } master of Norwich school, Opie's picture of whom is in the college hall: 'At that time too the Johnians (of whose college Forster was a member), when the loss of their zealous master, Dr. Powell, was but recent, had not yet relaxed their claims and eagerness for universal preference, not unsuc- cessfully asserted for some years previous to our own.' 30 Of the rices incident to an academical life. A sermon preached before the university 1756. In Balguy's ed. pp. 1 21. Nichols (Lit. Anccd. II. 293) calls it a commencement sermon, and says there were two editions of it. Observations on Miscellanea Analytica. 1760. 8vo. (Nichols, Lit. Anccd. in. 252 ; II. 337 seq.); 'This was the beginning of a controversy that pro- ? - duced many pamphlets relating to the Lucasian professorship of mathema- tics at Cambridge when Mr. Waring was elected.' T. S. Hughes, Memoir of Powell, v, vi : 'In 1760, Dr. Lowell entered anonymously into a controversy, which I am inclined to think detracted somewhat from his character. The cele- 40 brated Edward Waring, a very young man, and only bachelor of arts, being at this time candidate for the Lucasian professorship, published the first chapter of his Miscellanea Analytica, in order that the electors and the univtrsity at large might judge of the nature of his pursuits and his qualifications for the high office which he solicited. This publication was At immediately attacked by some anonymous "Observations;" the author of which did not confine himself to what he thought mathematical errors, but indulged in severe reflexions on the age, the inexperience, and the style of the analyst. These animadversions however not only failed in their 692 1070 WILLIAM SAMUEL POWELL, TWENTY- EIGHTH MASTER (NOTES). object of stopping Waring's election, but produced a reply from tbe new professor, in which he vindicated his own positions and retorted the charge of error on his adversary; and this again was followed by a " Defence of the Observations:" the author of them however having become well known, Waring sent forth a " Letter to Dr. Powell," which closed the controversy; 5 and in which, whilst he animadverted with considerable severity on his antagonist, he did not forget his rank and station. ' The motive generally ascribed to Dr. Powell for this interference, was a desire to serve the cause of his friend Mr. Ludlam of St. John's, who aspired to fill the vacant chair of Newton : and certainly if he felt himself IO fully competent to decide on the deep subjects of Waring's speculations, this was a good excuse for his attempting it : but if he was deficient in the necessary skill and science ; if, as was the case, he proved impar conyressus Achilli, and was defeated in the contest, candour required him to confess his fault and make all due reparation to his antagonist.' 15 John Wilson of Peterhouse, Paley's tutor and senior wrangler in 1761, 'even whilst an undergraduate, had distinguished himself by defending a srmll mathematical tract of Dr. Waring's against an attack from Dr. Powell' (Meadley's Life of Paley, ed. 1810, p. 26 ; Nichols, Lit. Anted. 11. 717). Part of a letter of Powell's (14 Mar. 1749) to Thos. Hughes master of 20 Ruthin school, relating to Dr. Gwyn's foundations, is printed in App. L to R. Newcome's Memoir of Gabr. and Godfrey Goodman. Ruthin 1825. 4to. In Nichols, Lit. Jllustr. III. 512 514 are two letters from Powell (whose signature is falsely printed W. J. Powell) to Wm. Ward of Sidn. B.A. 173", M.A. 1740, author of an English grammar. In the first (20 Febr. 1761) -5 after minute criticisms of AVard's book, he says : ' I have enquired of the booksellers here for Gregory's Euclid ; but have found only one copy. Merril thinks that he can get me some more at the price you mention ; and has undertaken to do it in a fortnight. I have ordered him to place the price to your son's account, and to carry the bill to Mr [Wm.] Abbot, to 3 whom I have lately committed the care of all accounts, and shall after some months resign the rest of my business. I do it with great satisfaction, as I am sure that there could not have been found a man superior to hiin, either in abilities, or in care and industry.'

Robinson of Pocklington had been elected to the rectory of Ufford 6 Jul. 1764; 29 Sept. the college refused to revoke his presentation ; 9 Oct., he having returned his presentation, the college asked the bp. of Peterb. to extend the time for disposing of the living; 20 Nov. it was resolved that Mr. R. entered 'on his year of grace the nth of this 40 month, and that we will send him the offer of our recommendation to the bp. of Peterb. for the living of Ufford now lapsed;' 27 Dec.

I have since the pleasure of being intimately acquainted with this worthy man, who is the best hearted creature, humane, generous and 15 obliging I have ever conversed with : a man of integrity and open- heartedness, learned and ingenious, and is deficient in no part of an excellent master but want of health and vigour to manage a largo and turbulent society. lie was born Aug. 3, my birth day, but in what year I know 20 not: for having occasion to thank him for an haunch of venison he was so kind to send me by his servant Aug. 14, I put on the date, mon jour natal : in the evening I had a letter from him, in which was, mon jour natal also.

(Gent. Mag. 40 P- H')- On his election to the mastership see above, p. 732 1. 4 seq. and Annual Biography, 1826, p. 222: 'The late eminent Dr. Powell, Master of St. John's college, Cambridge, having been presented by that Society with the living of Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, contracted an intimacy with Dr. Fisher's father; and it was in consequence of Dr. Powell's recommen- 1082 JOHN CHEVALLIER, TWENTY-NINTH MASTER (NOTES). datiou, that Dr. Fisher became a candidate for the fellowship which he obtained in St. John's college. Dr. Powell dying soon after, a strong con- test took place for the vacant headship between Dr. Chevalier and Dr. Beadon. Parties ran very high ; and Dr. Fisher naturally engaged with his friends, the junior part of the college, in support of Dr. Chevalier, the 5 known friend of his patron, Dr. Powell. Applications were made to Dr. Fisher's father, by the minister, Lord North, by Lord Sandwich, and by other men of high rank and station, his old and particular friends ; and above all, by [John Thomas] the late Bishop of Winchester, his immediate patron; calling upon him in the strongest terms to prevail on his son to IO vote in favour of Dr. Beadon. The good old man however was too honorable to wish his son to be induced by any motives of interest to desert what he considered a just cause, and to act in opposition to his conscience ; and therefore left him to decide for himself; and Dr. Fisher being influ- enced by similar feelings, determined, notwithstanding all the entreaties he 15 received and the promises which were held out to him, to adhere to his friend's friend. The election was in Dr. Chevalier's favour; an event prin- cipally owing to Dr. Fisher's exertions. ' To his conduct on this occasion, which in the first instance threatened him with worldly evil, Dr. Fisher was himself accustomed to attribute all 2 the good fortune of his future life.' ' The above arms are taken from a funeral escutcheon in the ante-chapel, which clearly belongs to Dr. Che vallier. Cole also assigns the same arms to him, with the exception that he makes the chevron Azure [instead of sable]. Dr. Chevallier died 14 Mar. 1789, and was buried in the college chapel, 25 where, on a flag-stone, is an inscription to his memory, aet. 59' ^Charles Yate). A friend of Geo. Ashby's (Nichols, Lit. Anecd. vm. 68 1) cf. v. 663: 'Mr. Cole left money to perpetuate the memory of him [Tho. Baker] on the stone which covers his remains. I had left college three or four years; but was 30 applied to by the master, Dr. Chevallier, to write a short epitaph : but it was not accepted.' T. F. [i. e. Taylor's Friend, Geo. Ash by]. There is a letter from bun to Tho. Birch, dated 1754, in the Birch MSS. Brit. Mus. 4302 art. 149. In the college books the name is generally written with one I, but in the ? c Graduati it has two. Gunning's Reminiscences, I. 184 186: 'I remember going... to witness the procession at the funeral of Dr. Chevallier... The corpse was carried in the usual manner round the court, and when it entered the ante-chapel... the crowd was tremendous. To the pall were pinned (according to the custom 40 of those days) various compositions in English, Greek and Latin, furnished by the members of the society, expressive of their deep regret... Dr. Cheval- lier was blind.' At Dr. Wood's funeral the custom above described was observed. Many of the pupils of the lamented Geo. J. Kennedy will remember the energy 45 with which he would recite the elegiacs which he wrote for that occasion. 28 Febr. 1775. 'Agreed to pay the incomes in the side of the first court lat<]y rebuilt.

Chafin, B.A. Eman. 1753, is a graphic picture of Craven's public examinations (Gent. Mag. Jan. 1818, p. 11): ' I had the advantage of being known to Mr. [Wm.] Barford, a fellow of King's college, from my infancy, and he introduced nie to the good and learned doctor [Rob.] Glyn, an eminent physician, fellow also of the same 25 college. These good friends were very indulgent to me, and I was invited to their rooms two or three times in the week to afternoon tea-drinking, when they examined me respecting my college lectures, and gave me, in the most pleasing manner, such instructions as were of the greatest benefit to me through all my exercises in the schools. And to enhance my good 30 fortune, my friend Mr. Barford was chosen one of the moderators for the very year when it came to my turn to keep exercises in the public schools ; the other was Mr. Eliot of Queens' [Lawr. Eliot of Magd. moderator in 1090 WILLIAM CRAVEN, THIRTIETH MASTER 1752]. When Mr. Barford presided, I was generally classed with some of the best scholars of the year, particularly when the questions for disputation were such as he deemed not above my abilities ; and in the course of these exercises I had the honour of being concerned in them, with Mr. Bell of Magdalen [Wm. Bell, founder of the scholarships, 8th wrangler 1753]; 5 [Wm.] Disney [sen. wrangler, 1753, Hebr. prof.], of Trinity; Craven, of St. John's ; Denn, of Peterhouse [Sam. Denne of C. C. C. C, 10th wrangler 1753]; [Wm.] Preston [2nd wrangler, 1753], who was afterwards bishop of Killala ; and other eminent scholars. I must here mention an extraordinary occurrence, which in reality is the cause of this little narrative being at this 10 time written, because the truth of it hath been doubted. It happened whilst I was keeping an act as respondent under Mr. Eliot the moderator, and Craven, of St. John's, was my second opponent. I had gone through all the syllogisms of my first, who was Disney, tolerably well ; one of the questions was a mathematical one from Newton's Principia, and Mr. Craven 1 5 brought an argument against me fraught with fluxions, of which I knew very little, and was therefore at a nonplus, and should in one minute have been exposed, had not at that instant the esquire bedell entered the schools, and demanded the book which the moderator carries with him and is the badge of his office. A convocation was that afternoon held in the 20 senate-house, and on some demur that happened, it was found requisite to inspect this book, which was immediately delivered, and the moderator's authority stopped for that day, and we were all dismissed ; and it was the happiest and most grateful moment of my life, for I was saved from immi- nent disgrace, and it was the last exercise I had to keep in the schools.' 25 1 757- 'Thomas Todington B.A. of St. John's college having appealed to the bp. of Ely as visitor against the election of Wm. Craven B.A. into one of the fellowships founded there by Dr. John Keton, the master and senior fellows prayed the court of king's bench for a prohibition, on the ground that the bishop's visitatorial power did not extend to engrafted foundations. 3 The court however, on the 3rd of Febr. this year, decided otherwise, and refused the prohibition' (Cooper's Annals, iv. 296, 297, quoting Sir W.

It was proverbial that Dr. Craven could never use a harsh or unkind expression to any one; WILLIAM CRAVEN, THIRTIETH MASTER. 1091 and he was so hurt at the insulting manner of the vice-chancellor, that he expected for many days after, he would call upon him with an apology for his rudeness.'

Postlethwaite 'was not very active after he became master of the college, i. e. . . . he soon discovered that, if he was alert, he and the seniors should be at variance, according to antient usage : and as he was advancing in age, he therefore thought it would be more for his ease to keep within his lodge, and to enjoy the company of his brother head of St John's ; for 10 Masters Postlethwaite and Craven (who were of the same year) it seems chose to dine at each other's lodges one day in a week at least.' Dr. Miles Eland, Annotations on the historical books of the N. T.... Vol. J. ...St. Matthew's gospel. Cambridge, 1828. 8vo. Preface: 'Several years ago, Dr. Craven, then master of St. John's College, a man of pri- 1 5 mitive simplicity, of unostentatious merit, and a Christian indeed without guile, anxious that the students of the society over which he presided, should receive some religious instruction in addition to the usual course of college lectures, directed that all those over whom he had any control, should be lectured and examined in the Gospels or Acts of the Apostles 20 every Sunday during term : his directions were warmly seconded by those who were engaged in the tuition of the college: and it may be added from a personal experience of several years, that there seemed to be, in by far the greater portion of the young men themselves, a regularity, attention and anxiety for information more general and more eager than was usually 25 to be found in their ordinary studies.' One unworthy motive certainly concurred to the establishment of these Sunday evening lectures, the desire to keep the undergraduates from Chas. Simeon's church. John Jebb (Memoir, 20, 27) had been a candidate for the Arabic chair 30 on the death of Leon. Chappelow 14 Jan. 1768. When it was again vacant in 1770, he again sought it: 'but as he had now, by exercising that liberty of prophesying, which becomes every protestant Christian, and by recom- mending the same to others in his theological lectures, greatly offended the majority of the electors, he was again disappointed. When he was opposed 1 ? by Dr. Hallifax, the electors were well inclined to do justice to his learn- ing ; on his second canvass for the same office, the spirit of inquiry which he had raised among the younger students, was imnuted to him as a crime deserving the resentment of their seniors. In these observations his op- ponent is no way concerned. Mr. Craven, the successful candidate, was a 40 truly respectable character, and now enjoys with reputation that laurel, which friendship would have placed on the brow of Mr. Jebb.' It is pleasant to see Craven's name among the subscribers to Jebb's works. No. 22 of Divines of the church of England, ed. by T. S. Hughes, dedi- 4 ^ cated to Dr. Sam. Butler, ' in token of sincere respect and affection for his excellent preceptor and invaluable friend,' contains Sermons by Rev. Samuel Oyden, D.D. Lond. Valpy, 1832. 8vo. In the memoir we read (xvi, xvii) : 'By his will he left a handsome fortune to various members of the family into which his father had married, and who were indebted for this favour to 1U92 WILLIAM CRAVEN, THIRTIETH MASTEK. the disinterested conduct of Dr. Craven, late master of St. John's, who was then fellow of that college and Arabic professor. Him Dr. Ogden destined to be his residuary legatee, and deposited his last will and testament in his keeping. Mr. Craven however, after having preserved this document four years, and having been elected Arabic professor chiefly through the interest 5 of Dr. Ogden, came one day and restored it into his hands, declaring that he had a sufficiency quite equal to Lis desires, and requesting him to think of some other person, among his relatives, to be his heir. Dr. Ogden is said to have stared in amazement at this proposal, which he could scarcely conceive to be sincere. "Billy," said he, in his peculiar tone and manner, 10 "are you a fool? Consider well with yourself, before you resolve: these things don't happen every day; therefore take the will back again, turn the matter in j'our mind, and when you have well considered it let me see you again." Mr. Craven did as he was requested ; and, returning with the will after a proper interval, was thus accosted by his friend : " Well, Billy, 1 5 have you maturely weighed the affair in question?" "I have," replied the other, " and am of the same mind as when I saw you last ; except that I beg of you to leave me your Arabic books." This the doctor promised and performed. "But," says Mr. Cole, who relates the story, "such an in- stance of liberality and disinterestedness will not appear at all probable in 20 this avaricious age." To which I will only add one remark; that it will not appear at all improbable to those who had the happiness of knowing Dr. Craven.' He died 28 Jan. 1815 (Camhr. Chron. 3 Febr. 1815; Gent. Mag. 1815, pt. 1, p. 186 b), 'and was buried in the college chapel, where on a flag-stone 25 is a short inscription to his memory. There is a portrait of him in the master's lodge. There is no funeral escutcheon for him in the antechaj>e], nor do I elsewhere find traces of his armorial bearings ; but I am infonned by the present master (Dr. Wood), that Dr. Craven told him that his arms were the same as those of the lords Craven.... These arms [Ar. a fess betw. 3 6 cross crosslets fitchee gu.] have been lately placed upon the main gateway of the new building, in defraying the expense of which, money left by Dr. Craven was, I believe, employed' (Charles Yate).

JAMES WOOD 1 , THIRTY-FIRST MASTER. Admitted 11 Feb. 1815. 'Born 14 Dec. 1760 in a remote part of the parish of Bury Lane, [near Turton...in] a small cottage, in a very bleak and at that time uncivilized district.... His parents had been brought up to gain their livelihood by manual labour; [they were both weavers] ; but afterwards the father, who (for a man in his station of life) possessed considerable knowledge, opened [an evening] 5 school for the neighbouring children: and he instructed his son himself in arithmetic and algebra. The mother also was a very worthy, affectionate woman. Her maiden name was Smith : she had six brothers, some of whom and their descendants have given proofs of great mechanical inge- nuity. Both parents lived a considerable time after their son took his IO degree, so that they knew of his rising distinction in the university, and had the gratification of seeing the good fruits of the care which they had taken in his education. ' He received his classical instruction in the grammar-school at Bury, of which the Rev. Francis Hodgson was at that time head master, a man 1 c highly esteemed, to whom Dr. Wood always considered himself deeply in- debted as the chief cause (next to his excellent parents) of his subsequent advancement: and, as might be expected, he did not fail to take every op- portunity of testifying his gratitude and respect to him and his family. The founder of the school, the Rev. Roger Kay, having been educated at 20 St. John's Cambridge, bequeathed to the school exhibitions for those who might go to that college ; to which circumstance, no doubt, St. John's is indebted for the good fortune of having Dr. Wood's name placed on its boards.'

In the mean time he had obtained the high honour of being senior wrangler, and a fellowship. He was appointed one of the assistant tutors at the earliest opportunity, and he continued to be engaged in the tuition till the latter end of the year 1814' (E. B.). 20 President at each election from 20 Mar. 1802 to 31 Mar. 1814, Palmer being elected in his place 15 Febr. 1815. Proctor 1791, taxor 1792, vice- chancellor 1816 (Hardy's Le Neve, III. 631, 646, 612). Instituted rector of Freshwater 14 Aug. 1823 (Camlr. Chron. 29 Aug.). 'In 1820 he was appointed to the deanery of Ely [nominated 21 Nov., 25 installed 6 Dec. (Hardy's Le Neve, I. 349)] by lord Liverpool. During the long period of 60 years he passed the chief part of his time in college. And it may be confidently affirmed that, during at least half of that time, no one possessed so much influence in the university as he did. This was owing partly to his position at the head of a large and united college, and partly 30 to his personal character, which, having first placed him in that position, continued to exert its proper influence. ' He possessed in a very high degree qualities which could not fail to command esteem. He was a man of great natural ability, of which hig academic honour was an early proof. He published 3 mathematical treatises, 35 which for 30 or 40 years have been in common use in the university. They are remarkable for perspicuity and elegance, and retained their place in the university system of education longer perhaps than any similar treatises, written, as they are, on subjects which from their nature admit of progressive improvement. His sound and cautious understanding, 40 seconded by unremitting diligence, by remarkable punctuality and rigid adherence to order in all his arrangements, particularly qualified him for the able discharge of the practical duties of life. Being seconded also by a firm and equable temper, and by never-failing courtesy of manners, it qualified him in the same high degree for government: his authority being ir always uniformly and temperately exercised, so that there was no need of abrupt transitions from excessive indulgence to severity. 'His judgement was in general most excellent, both in matters of specu- lation and practical measures in the common business of life. If he had 1096 JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER. been placed in any station however exalted, he possessed some of the most important qualifications necessary for the able discharge of the duties of it, great refinement of understanding and manners, firmness of temper, habitual self-command and caution. In the management of business he had the art of accomplishing objects with the least possible force; which, in 5 civil affairs no less than in mechanical, is a proof of the highest skill. On the other hand it must be admitted that some circumstances were less favorable. His merit was of a kind which could not be duly estimated except after intimate acquaintance with him, and by intelligent people : he was not able to command attention and produce immediate effect by elo- 10 quence or any outward show of energy : he had little aptitude for colloquial argument or public debate : his voice was feeble, his conversation far from indicative of his great intelligence and powers of mind. Moreover, to ob- tain high station, he had to contend against an impediment more formidable than all these, viz. great unwillingness to urge personal claims, or to pay 1 5 court with the view of procuring himself promotion. He may in a few in- stances have solicited favours for others, but seldom if ever for himself. 'To the same correct judgement which he exhibited in important matters must be ascribed his exact attention to the common observances of life, the propriety of his demeanour towards superiors, equals and dependants, 20 and the regard which he paid to outward decorum : even in matters com- paratively trifling and minute, such as dress, equipage and style of living, he always observed a propriety suitable to his station, equally removed from mean parsimony and extravagant display. It may be mentioned among other marks of the same quality, that in conversation he always seemed 25 purposely to abstain from the use of vulgar phrases ; from quotations and proverbs ; from sententious sayings and disquisitions ; from inquiring witli a petty curiosity into the occupations, connexions or any private affairs even of his intimate friends; and from offering spontaneous advice. 'We must add to the above, moral qualities of the highest order and 30 value, purity of conversation and conduct, integrity, benevolence, humility. Never was he known in his freest moments to make the least unbecoming allusion, or do otherwise than discountenance the like in others ; still less, if possible, was he ever known to violate moral purity in his conduct. 'To mention his integrity would scarcely be necessary, were it not that 35 it was in him of so strict a character. While he was firm in maintaining his own rights, he was equitable and liberal in respecting those of others. In transacting business with him, there was no need to guard against trickery, subterfuges, or evasive interpretations. In the exercise of authority he paid great deference to established rules and precedents. Hence all who were 40 subject to him lived in perfect security, not afraid of any fanciful and arbi- trary innovations. They knew what they had to rely upon, and were fully assured that they had no wrong to apprehend under so mild and equitable a ruler. ' Benevolence, in a very high degree, was another of his qualities. His 45 natural disposition was exceedingly affectionate. He was strongly attached to Lis near relatives, to numerous friends, and to his native country. No caprice or groundless suspicion ever interfered to disturb his friendships : those which he had once formed, were continued, with scarcely any excep- JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER. 1097 tion, till they were terminated by death. As he was not of a sanguine temperament or a lively imagination, this quality of benevolence, in the high degree in which he possessed it, was probably little perceived by those who had only an ordinary acquaintance with him. But his intimate friends 5 will not hesitate to bear testimony that he had great kindness of heart, which was not restrained, but withdrawn from common notice, by his calm and cautious reserve of manner. His charitable donations were to a very large amount. His whole desire seemed to be, to be doing good. During the last months of his life, when he was in very indifferent health, his I O thoughts were constantly occupied in devising acts of kindness to his friends, or plans for public improvement. In the interchange of friendly services, he was almost too scrupulous in the anxiety that the balance should not remain in his own favour; and the instances were very few, if any, in which he did not so manage matters aa to place it on the other side. When any 1 ir little service was rendered to him, he was apt to magnify it, and keep it in mind as what it would be a dereliction of duty if he failed to repay. If his discernment as to the character of individuals ever erred, it was owing to his being always inclined, through the kindness of his affections, to form too favorable an estimate : his judgement and vigilance may have appeared to 2 be in some cases abated by the influence of partial attachment. To all who had intercourse with him, his attention was respectful and unremitting, yet far removed from insincere professions or adulation. It must have been a rare excellence of natural disposition, aided by a long course of self-disci- pline, which gave him such serenity of temper and such invariable readiness 2=5 in consulting the comfort and paying respect to the feelings of others. Seldom was he heard to utter an angry expression, or give a rebuke to any person whatever; and yet few have ever lived whose authority was so readily obeyed. 'He was of a most humble, unpretending spirit. Prosperity never elated 30 him beyond measure, nor did increase of power cause any alteration in his temper or manner. He had a happy facility in repressing undue familiarity, not by morose severity, but by his calmness, self-possession and the real dignity of his character. 'In conversation, he carefully abstained from censorious and disparaging 35 remarks; nor did he ever seem desirous to mortify and depress others, with the view of making them sensible of his own superiority. If he ever ex- pressed an unfavorable opinion of an individual, it was of him as acting in some public capacity, and then with such moderation and good temper, as to make it manifest that his disapprobation was not embittered by personal 40 ill-will. ' As he took a very decided part in religion and politics, and especially in the affairs of the university to which he belonged, it would be too much to expect that he had no enemies. Let us hope that their hostility, if any existed, has been buried along with him. Of this they maybe assured, that ac there was no return of it on his part, with any mixture of malice and re- sentment. He gave many proofs of a forgiving disposition. If, in the course of his long life and the multiplicity of affairs in which he was en- gaged, he ever did injury to any, let them be willing to believe that it was owing to some inadvertence (however rare in him), or to a mistaken senso 1098 JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER. of duty ; and consider also how difficult it is, amidst many conflicting claims and interests, for the most accurate judgement to discern invariably the exact line of rectitude and pursue it without deviation, never warped by any partial affection. . . . ' Though he never introduced the subject of religion into common con- 5 versation, yet those who were intimate with him could not fail to discover, from undesigned indications and casual remarks, that his religious faith was truly sincere and unwavering. Hence, relying upon the bible as the sole ground of his hopes and the guide of his life, he seemed to live under an habitual consciousness of obligation, and to be impressed with a practical IO conviction of being accountable ; and his constant study and desire seemed to be, to do his duty towards God and man. 'He was firmly attached to the established church of England, high- ly approving of its scriptural doctrines, decent ceremonial and moderate discipline, both as distinguished from bigotry and from enthusiasm, 1 5 laxity and indifference. With all his moderation and forbearance, he was entirely free from that spurious and worthless candour which leads men to speak with equal favour of all individuals, sects and parties. He was punctual in attending the outward services of religion, both of public and private worship. During his last illness, which con- 20 tinued with greater or less severity through half a year, he never uttered the least expression of impatience : his fortitude and cheerfulness remained unshaken, and his faculties almost unimpaired to the end of his life. He frequently intimated his entire resignation to the Divine will. . . . 'The incalculable services which he rendered to his own college in par- 25 ticular, cannot pass unnoticed. Having devoted to it the chief part of his care for 60 years, and made the most strenuous exertions, by his instruc- tion, example and authority, to promote its welfare, he gave further proof of his attachment by munificent liberality, partly bestowed in his life-time, and partly (in the final disposition of his property) providing for its permanent 30 benefit. It was impossible for the members of it to regard him, while he lived, otherwise than with the most grateful affection and reverence ; and these are the feelings with which his memory will long be cherished by them. . . . 'Though he was held in very great esteem, and though numerous friends 35 were strongly attached to him, yet, from the reserve and simplicity of his manners, he could not be adequately appreciated, except by those who were very intimately acquainted with him. It was also necessary to know him long ; because a remarkable characteristic of his excellence was the con- tinued uniformity of it. Indeed, the apprehension that an accurate descrip- 40 tion of him must appear partial and overcharged to people in general, has caused a doubt whether any attempt to describe him ought to be made ; especially remembering how adverse he himself was to ostentation, and how little his virtuous actions were prompted by the mere love of fame.' (E. B.) ' He died in college 23 April 1839 and was interred in the college chapel AC May 1st [see Cambr. Chron 27 Apr. and 4 May], with every possible mark of respect, being attended to the grave by the vice-chancellor, 7 other heads of houses, Dr. Turton regius professor of divinity, with other professors and officers of the university, by all the resident members of his own college, to- JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER. 1099 gether with many others who came from a distance' (Chables Yate). Shortly before the procession moved, a number of complimentary verses, on the character of the deceased, in Greek and Latin, by various fellows and scholars, were according to ancient custom appended to the pall ' (Gent. 5 Mag. A ug. 1839, P* 2 2 )- 'A short inscription marks the place of his burial. To attempt to describe minutely the virtues of Dr. Wood, would be a vain task. In few persons have they been more numerous or more exemplary. A suf- ficiently minute and, I think, correct character of him has been given by Mr. Bushby . . . No man ever commanded more the respect and affection of all IO who knew him. His great natural abilities and high character entitled him to the former, whilst his signal benevolence failed not to procure him the latter. Being of a humble and retiring disposition, many of his virtues escaped notice ; but all who knew him intimately can bear testimony to his eminent worth ; to his meekness and piety, his charity and courtesy, his I 5 inward moral purity and outward decorum at all times and in all places, and to his strict integrity in every relation of life. Being of sound judgement, he proved a wise and temperate ruler of his college ; not harsh in his mea- sures, yet firm in his determinations ; never hasty nor overbearing ; and no master of a college ever quitted his post more sincerely regretted by all 20 who were subject to his authority' (Charles Yate). ' Dr. Wood, in the college over which he so long presided, had the pecu- liar fortune of making every individual fellow his personal friend His whole energies have been devoted during a long life to the improvement of his college ; and he has left a chasm in that society which will long be felt 25 and regretted' (Gent. Mag.). 'Dr. Wood was a considerable benefactor to his college, which, as re- siduary legatee, will probably succeed eventually to almost all his property, amounting, 1 believe, to about 50,000. He ordered, by his will, 20,000 to be immediately invested and employed for the permanent good of the -20 college. He left to his relatives many small legacies and annuities, varying from 20 to 50 per annum; and also bequests to several of his friends, as 300 each, I believe, to Messrs. Tatham, Blick, Bushby (his executors), Whitfield, Dampier and Mitford Peacock; and about 10 each to some other old university friends, as Dr. Procter master of Catherine hall, and 35 others. He made also some bequests of plate &c. to relatives and friends. His wine he left to Dr. Tatham ; and his books, plate, furniture, &c. to the college, which he made moreover his residuary legatee' (Charles Yate). The 20,000 spoken of above formed the nucleus of the building fund of the chapel which was opened 12 May 1869. 40 'We believe that he contributed during his life about 15,000 towards the building of the college.... He has left 500 to increase the Kay exhibi- tions, of which he himself partook' (Gent. Mag.). 'Dr. Wood also founded some time before his death (out of money, I be- lieve, advanced for the completion of the new building) 9 exhibitions of 40 AK per annum each, to be given annually at Midsummer to those students of the college (not being B.A. or of sufficient standing for that degree) who are most in want of pecuniary assistance, and who are at the same time most dis- tinguished for their regularity of conduct, industry, and learning' 1 (Charles Yate). 71 1100 JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER.

Gunning, Reminiscences 11. 309 3 n: 'It was about this time [1 826] that the Johnians, wishing to lessen the expenses of men of fortune, made an order that their fellow-commoners should appear in hall a certain number of 20 times every week. This restriction was so obnoxious to them, that they made a point of entering the hall at the latest moment allowed, and seating themselves at the bottom of the table, indulged in whisperings ; and as they also frequently laughed very heartily, the fellows (like Scrub in the play) thought they were ridiculing them. At length this restraint became so dis- 25 agreeable, that by way of avoiding it, many of them were in the habit of affecting to be ill, anil managed to obtain an aegrotat, which left them at liberty to dine where they pleased, provided they were in college before the gates closed in the evening.' Then follows a Btory of one of these sick men who drove away from college in a postchaise for a day's Shooting at Ickle- 30 ton. The man's father told his tutor, ' that although his son kept neither servant nor horse, and resided no longer than he was compelled, his first year's expenses exceeded .1000.' The new court was commenced in 1827, partially occupied in 1830. and completed in 1831. The architects were Thomas Rickman and Henry 35 Hutchinson (Cooper's A nnals iv. 555; Memorials II. 141, 142). Dr. Wood's quiet temper must have made it easier for him than for Marsh to endure the provocation recorded by Gunning (ibid. II. 185 seq. ): 'I recollect meeting Dr. Parr at Caius lodge, during one of his visits to Davy: there were only two other guests present, Herbert Marsh and James 40 Wood (afterwards master of St. John's). Parr was in prodigious spirits and attacked the Johnians most unmercifully, who, although they must have felt annoyed at his sarcasms (which were very offensive), parried his attacks with great good humour. At length Marsh said, You must come and dine u-ith me. Dr. Parr, on the earliest day you can fix, as I am only making 045 short stay at CamWidge. Parr replied, "I cannot dine with you, but I have no objection to smoking a pij>e one evening." Indeed, Dr. Parr, that will JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FrRST MASTER. 1101 not satisfy me; I wish you would spend a long day with vie, if any day can be considered long when you are of the party. ' "Oh, Master Marsh," he replied, don't imagine you can disarm me by these civil speeches." He then returned to the attack (which Marsh had 5 interrupted) with renewed vigour. Among other remarks, I recollect the following, addressed to Marsh : "Do you not remember our meeting on the sea-coast, when you were just returned from Leipsic? You told me you were engaged, and you shewed me the picture of your intended bride ! I discovered a tear in your eye; you tried to conceal it. Don't he ashamed of I o il> I observed ; it indicates a better feeling than often actuates the heart of the }>ricst, the Johnian, and the aspiring p>r of essor of divinity.'''' ' There is another notice of Marsh ibid. 243. Jas. Wood the master must be carefully distinguished from Jas.

The master's sister suffered severely for her ignorance of the fact that there were two James Woods among the fellows. A suitor, butler in a neighbouring family, shewed her in the newspaper the intelli- gence of the marriage of Mr. Wood fellow of St. John's. 'You cannot 20 expect anything more from him, and must look elsewhere for support.' The argument prevailed ; she married an unworthy husband, but shortly became a widow, and was maintained as befcre by her brother, who always paid her a yearly visit, even during her husband's life.

The present Work is intended to comprise the sub- ^C stance of the lectures, in mathematics and Natural Philosophy, which are usually read in the University. The want of a System of this kind having been long complained of, Mr. Vince and the Author of this first volume agreed to undertake the work jointly; the former engaging to draw up the Fluxions, Hydrostatics and Astronomy ; and the latter, the Algebra, Me- 40 chanics, and Optics. That the whole might form one system, the parts drawn up by each were submitted to the consideration of the other, and such alterations and additions made, as were thought necessary by both. ' The whole will consist of Four Volumes; the first and second contain- ing the principles of Algebra and Fluxions; and the third and fourth, the 45 Elements of Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Optics and Astronomy. These will be published in succession, and as soon as possible. ' The Authors beg leave to return their thanks to the Vice-Chancellor 712 1102 JAMES WOOD, THIRTY -FIRST MASTER and Syndics of the University Press, who, with their usual Liberality, have undertaken to print the work.'

Lond. 1850, p. 231 : 'Dr. Wood's Progressive Mathematical Studies may still be con- sidered as marking the extent to which this subject should be read by the common student. In reading the first part of the work the student will probably at first need additional explanations and examples, which he may 1 5 obtain from many works in common use. In the second and succeeding Parts the subject admits of developements much more extensive than Dr. Wood has given ; but still this work may be considered as the standard of our algebra, excluding its recent progress.' Foot-note. 'Mr. Lund, in his last edition of Dr. Wood's Algebra (1845), has very properly kept his ad- 20 ditions distinct from the original text by a difference of type. He has omitted the second part of the treatise altogether, which I cannot but regret; for that portion of Dr. Wood's book represented very well the general doc- trine of equations as a long established part of mathematics ; whereas Dr. Hymers' treatise, to which Mr. Lund refers as replacing this part, belongs 25 to the progressive mathematical studies of the University. ' Cf. ibid. 184: 'But before 1800 this evil [the uncertainty of the line which the examination would take] had been, in a great measure, remedied by the publication of standard works, and their general acceptance in the University. Such works were Dr. Wood's Algebra, Mechanics, and Optics; 30 works admirably constructed for their purpose. About the same time Pro- fessor Vince published his Trigonometry, his Fluxions, his Hydrostatics, and his Astronomy: but these were works deficient in the judicious selection and simple exposition which belonged to Dr. Wood's books ; and their influence was muoh more limited and short-lived.' 35 The principles of mechanics : designed for the use of students in the univer- sity.

Dr. JAMES WOOD, THIRTY-FIRST MASTER, 1103 Wood's treatise on the subject might be considered as the standard work in the university, at the beginning of the present century. Among the pecu- liarities of this work, as we may now call them, were Newton's proof of the composition of forces, which goes upon the supposed identity of statical and 5 dynamical action ; the laws of the collision of bodies, also proved according to Newton ; the laws of falling bodies, cycloidal pendulums, and projectiles, proved as Cotes had proved them, by elegant geometrical methods. The rest of the book, the properties of the mechanical powers and of the centre of gravity, had long had their places in elementary works on mechanics. IO In this compilation, brief and simple as it was, there was no part which had not both a historical value and a geometrical rigour of proof. I do not think that any of the parts of the subject which I have mentioned deserved to be rejected out of our system, although it might be very proper to intro- duce other modes of dealing with these mechanical problems, as comments l 5 upon the standard proofs, and as preparations for the higher mathematical studies. The newer modes of treating mechanical questions employed in rival works, were more instructive when compared with those older and simpler reasonings ; and it is to be regretted that Dr. Wood's Mechanics has been allowed to vanish from among the books current in the university.' 20 Foot-note. 'lam aware that a volume was published in 1841, calling itself a new edition of Dr. Wood's Mechanics ; but this publication does not at all diminish the force of what I have said. There is, in this "New Edition " scarcely a vestige, either of Dr. Wood's general arrangement, or of his treatment of particular questions ; for the modes of teaching every 25 subject appear to me to be taken from the rival works which had been pub- lished in the seventeen years elapsed since the last edition (the seventh) of Dr. Wood's Mechanics. For instance, every one of the peculiarities of the work which I have above noticed in the text is obliterated : the division of statics and dynamics, the statical proof of the composition of forces, the jq analytical investigation of the resultant of forces, and, I think, every noticeable feature in which Dr. Wood's rivals differ from Dr. Wood, are adopted. It is still to be hoped that some member of Dr. Wood's college will give the Cambridge world a new edition of his Mechanics^ Ibid. 202 : ' There is one part of Dr. Wood's Mechanics which it would 35 be desirable to retain, namely, the doctrine of the Oscillations of Pendulums. This subject is so important, both historically and in its application, that it should be made a portion of our standard elementary mechanics. The student of that science ought not to remain in ignorance of the laws of such oscillations, till he falls in with them, if it so happens, as examples of the 40 differential calculus. In all the editions of my Mechanics, I proceeded upon this conviction, and proved the properties of cycloidal oscillations by the method of limits ; modifying however Cotes's demonstration. But in the last edition, I have, I think, rendered the proof more simple by restoring it nearly to the form in which Dr. Wood gave it.' 45 The elements of optics: designed for the use of students in the university.

Issued as vol. iv. pt. i. of The principles etc. Second ed. ibid. 1801. 8vo. Fifth ed. ibid. 1823. 8vo. Wm. Whewell, ibid. p. 204: 'Dr. Wood's Elements of Optics is a work excellent, for the most part, in the selection and demonstrations of its pro- positions, and deserves to be retained as our standard work on this subject. 5 More recently this subject has been treated analytically. So far as the analytical method has superseded the geometrical, I am obliged to say (though I believe that I myself, by c illege lectures, may have formerly con- tributed to bring about such a change), the result has been very unfortu- nate; for in this subject especially, the geometrical method of tracing the IO course of reflected and refracted rays is highly instructive to the student in the earlier stages of his progress. I do not think the university ought to hesitate to make Dr. Wood's Optics the standard work to be studied by candidates for honours, as an introduction to all other modes of treating the subject.' 1 5 Ibid. 233: 'I have stated in the last chapter that I do not think the university can adopt any mode of presenting the elements of optics as a permanent subject better than is contained in the work of Dr. Wood. Perhaps the calculation of the aberration of refracted rays might be omitted at this stage of study.' 20 Henry Brougham (in the Edinb. Rev. 1. 158 163) reviewed the second edition of the Optics. ' Our author has confined himself almost wholly to the mathematical view of the subject; and we are inclined to think that he has composed this treatise rather with a view to assist the student of astronomy, than to fur- 25 nish a complete exposition of all the discoveries which have been made upon the nature of light and the laws of its action considered as a separate branch of science. His propositions are chiefly drawn from the Lecliones opticae of Sir Isaac Newton : and a very meagre account is given of the wonderful truths unfolded by that philosopher in his Optics. ... 30 ' Admitting however that the plan of this treatise is adapted to teach the most important parts of optical science, we cannot withhold our approba- tion from the execution. The paits are digested and arranged with great pernpicuity ; the order in which they succeed each other is, for the most part, natural and easy ; the demonstrations are sufficiently neat and con- 35 cise ; and yet the steps of the reasoning are given with such fulness, that any learner may readily follow them, provided he is prepared by a previous acquaintance with the elements of mathematics. In some parts the author has fallen into considerable inaccuracies ; chiefly where a reference was necessary to the merely experimental branch of the science.' 4 Dr. Wood was F.R.S. and wrote in the Memoirs of the Manchester Society, and in the Philotoph. Transactions for 1798 on the Roots of Equations (Abridgem. xvin. 341 ; Upcott, Diet. Living Authors, 1816; Watt). RALPH TATHAM, THIRTY-SECOND MASTER. Admitted 7 May 1839. Bom at Barton in Whittingham Northumb. ; admitted pensioner 2 May 1796 aet. 17; foundation scholar 1796; B.A. 1800 as 12th wrangler; M.A. 1S03; B.D. 1 81 1 ; D.D. by mandate 1839. 10 Nov. 1S09 he was elected public orator, defeating Rob. Walpole of c Trinity, the traveller, editor of Comicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, by 20 votes, 152 to 132 (Cambr. Chron. 18 Nov. ; Cooper's Annals, IV. 492; Gun- ning's Reminiscences, n. 249). He was well qualified for this office by his singular dignity of person and courtesy of manner. He brought forth butter, said the wags, in a lordly dish. Opie's portrait of Dr. Sam. Forster of IO Norwich (a full length, in a gown) in the college hall, bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Tatham 1 . He resigned the oratorship in 1836, and 4 Febr. 1836 Christopher Wordsworth of Trin. Coll., son of the master, since master of Harrow, canon and archd. of Westminster, and now bp. of Lincoln, was elected, defeating Jo. Fred. Isaacson of St. John's by 264 to 15 169 votes (Cooper ibid. 599). ' Dr. Tatham was tutor to Chas. Fox Townshend, who was a student of St. John's college, and died there in 181 7 aet. 21, being buried in the ante- chapel. In consequence of this he appears to have been presented by the marq. Townshend to the valuable rectory of Colkirk, co. Norf.' (Charles 20 Yate). He held Colkirk with Stibbard from 10 Febr. 1816 to his death, which occurred 19 Jan. 1857 aet - 7^ (Cambr. Chron. 24 Jan). His remains were placed in the hall 23 Jan. and on the 24th were carried round two of the courts of the college, preceded by the choir, and after a choral service deposited with his brother's in a vault in the antechapel. 2? 25 Oct. 1843 queen Victoria and prince Albert visited St. John's, ' where every preparation was made to receive her with due respect, the courts and passages being lined with crimson cloth, and refreshments pre- pared in the hall for the royal party' (Charles Yate). In Sept. i860 a stained glass window, 'The raising of Lazarus,' by 30 Wailes of Newcastle, was placed in the chapel, N. side, by the family, in memory of Dr. Tatham. As the window was not suitable to the new chapel, the family replaced it by two windows, also by Wailes, to be placed in the new antechapel N. transept N. side. 1 Arms : gyronny of 6 ar. and az. 3 martlets sa.

The 'family, I am informed, was previously settled at Sandbach, Cheshire' (Chables Yate). 5 The father, Ra. Tatham of St. John's B.A. 1776, was of Bishopton Durham and died there in Jan. 1825 after a very long illness (Cambr. Chron. 14 Jan. 1825; Quarterly Theol. Rev. 1. 602 a; Christ. Remembr. vn. 127). His widow, Ann last surviving daughter of Meaburn Smith esq., formerly of Morton house Durham, died at Colkirk rectory 9 Oct. 1847 {Cambr. IO Chron. 16 Oct. 1847). One Ra. T., probably the same, was appointed to Addingham vicarage Cumb. by the dean and chapter of Carlisle in 1806 (Clerical Guide, 1822). A brother Tho.
