To my loC it has fallen: I have done it cheerfully, and despair not of a happy issue." The next letter, dated June 29th, 1785, announced to the Rev. Mr. Jarvis his arrival at New London, and solicited the favor of an early interview with him, to consult upon the time and place of holding a Conven- tion of the clergy. No noise attended this first and undisguised entrance of a Protestant Bishop upon the soil of New England. He came as a simple Christian citizen, and not in any outward pomp and di...gnity such as the adversaries of the Church had apprehended before the war for independence was commenced.
They could well afford to leave him to the quiet pur- suit of his Apostolic office, for the political power was now in their hands, and if the hated hierarchy that once flitted before their vision threatened to inter- 368 HISTORY OF the episcopal church fere with the prerogatives of the State,, it could be easily crushed. "The Presbyterian ministers," says Wilberforce,^ "appeared to be rather alarmed; and, in consequence of his arrival, assumed and gave one another the style and title of Bishops, which formerly they reprobated as a remnant of Popery." He was present at the Annual Commencement of Yale Col- lege in 1785; and when some one mentioned the fact to President Stiles, and suggested that he should be invited to a seat among the distinguished personages, he replied that "there were already several Bishops upon the stage, but if there was room for another he might occupy it." With joy did the clergy of Connecticut assemble in Convention at Middletown, on the 3d day of August, 1785, and publicly w^elcome and recognize their Bishop.
