One clergyman, whose friendship I have long valued, whose uprightness and gentleness of heart are still my admiration, wrote a pamphlet about my work, blaming the course which Convocation had taken in their im- potent abuse of it, and warning his brethren that it was really powerful and really dangerous. He called at once on the bishops to combine their action against 24 dn Episode in the mysel...f as the greatest scandal the Church of England had ever suffered. He went over to the Church of Rome in consequence of their apathy. A weekly paper was started and lived upon the attacks directed against myself, and against two others whom I shall not name, and which at last put such a pressure on the Arch- bishop of York, as would have required no small de- gree of manliness to overcome.
