It happened that Sir Thomas Roe, the English ambassador, was at Elbing, and he entered into the scheme to reconcile the Lutherans and the Reformed churches with lively interest. He persuaded the great Oxenstiern 20 Biographical Sketch to use his influence with the Lu- theran clergy, and advised Dury to go to England and lay his plans before the prelates, recom- mending him to Charles I, and influencing in his favour both the Puritan Archbishop Abbott and Bishop Laud. Dury was success- ful in En...gland in so far that he was authorized to carry to Prus- sia the assurance of the coopera- tion of the English clergy in the recommendations that all parties abstain from disputes in the pul- pit, from calling hard names and disturbing legal ceremonies of worship.

Dr. Charles A. Briggs had the good fortune, a few years ago, to discover in London the manuscript of Dury's "Summarie Relation" of this journey, with its vivid descrip- tion of Europe during the Thirty Years' War, and published it in the Presbyterian Review for April, 1887, together with a short account of the author's noble work for Christian union.
