Sunder- land writes, by the King's command, to Dr. Fell, Bishop of Oxford, and Dean of Christ- church. The Reverend Prelate answers, that he has long had an eye upon Mr. Locke's be- haviour; but though frequent attempts had been made (attempts of which the Bishop ex- presses no disapprobation) to draw him into imprudent conversation, by attacking in his company the reputation, and insulting the me- mory, of his late patron and friend, and thus JOHN LOCKE. 276 to make his gratitude, and all the ...best feelings of his heart, instrumental to his ruin, these attempts all proved unsuccessful. Hence the Bishop infers not the innocence of Mr, Locke, but that he was a great master of concealment, both as to words and looks ; for looks, it is to be supposed, would have furnished a pretext for his expulsion, more decent than any which had yet been discovered. An expedient is then sug- gested to drive Mr. Locke to a dilemma, by Bummoning him to attend the College on the 1st of January ensuing. If he do not appear, he shall be expelled for contumacy ; if he come, matter of charge may be found against him, for what he shall have said at London, or elsewhere, where he will have been less upon his guard than at Oxford.
