There followed, as appears from the unpublished correspondence of Dr. Griffith with Bishop White, a series of petty but an- noying persecutions which, as detailed in these Constitution of the American Church. 191 letters, reveal a lamentable laxity in doctrine, and even in morals, existing in the Virginia Church. It is a pitiful story, and of interest alone in showing a conspiracy of ministers and members of the Episcopal Church designed to destroy the efficiency, if not the very exist- ence, o...f the Episcopate, the powers of which they evidently felt would be at once exercised for their punishment. These annoying hindrances at length wore out the patience of Griffith and wrung from him the resignation of the office he had never sought, but which he would have adorned and honored. It was not till after the death of Griffith and the return of the Bishops of Pennsylvania and New York from their suc- cessful journey to England, that the scholarly Madison, the President of William and Mary College, was chosen to the Episcopate of Vir- ginia and sent to England to complete the college in the English line.
