WiUi very 'just though severe animadversions , by Warburton , upon Laud . th this instance he does not differ from the historian of the Puritans .
( 76 ) 303 . [ 290 . T . J An extract from Heylin , gives risfc to the present annotation , which contains some intelligence respecting Franciscus de Clara [ Christopher Davenport ] . ( 77 ) 387 . Ch . vii . ( not vi . ) [ 369 . T . 1 I read , in Toulmin ' s edition of
Near , "Bishop Hatfield ' s tomb , whicn had been erected many years before /' f Warburton ' s statement is 250 . ] The truth is , Hatfield died in May , 1381 , and was buried at Durham under the Episcopal stall . *
( 78 ) 429 . ( 405 . T . ] Warburton does not concur in the historian ' s judgment of Grimstone ' s and of Selden ' s speech . Our prelate ' s attachment to his own theory of church-alliance , may insensibly have biassed his
opi-. ( 79 ) 431 . [ 407 . T . ] It was scarcely worth notice that Neal has informed us where Guy Vaux ' s dark-lantern is deposited . At such points does Bishop Warburton cavil , in the absence of materials for any weighty accusation !
m ) 434 . [ 409 . T . J The historian ' s representation concerning Goodman , is not prejudiced . I consider Dt . Toulmin ' s note as decisive of the question . ( 81 ) 436 . [ 412 . T ] Of this annotation the reasoning may be left to the reader . It will be sufficient for
me to observe that it is matter of opinion , and does not impeach Neal's faithfulness and impartiality . Acts of attainder are most odious in my eyes , and scarcely reconcileable with our constitution .
( 82 ) 438 . [ 414 . T . ] It is difficult to suppose , that this letter did not proceed from Stratford ' s own pen . The king ' s consent to his execution , reflects no honour on the personal character of Charles .
( 83 ) 504 . [ 472 . T ] That Neal's insinuations against this monarch in respect of the Irish insurrection are " very unjust and groundless /'' is not quite so much a matter of certainty as our prelate supposes . The reader of Dr . Toulmin ' s discriminating and

intelligent i ^ pte scarcely approve of Warburtoif s cohfideiht declaration . ( 84 ) 505 . [ 474 . T . ] Neal explains himself ; nevertheless , his episcopal annotator overlooks the explanation . ( 85 ) 510 . [ 479 . T . ] Warburton rises in his language , and now speaks of ** a villainous accusation , destitute
of all proof and likelihood . " " His Lordship , " remarks NeaPs Editor , " might have spared some of his warmth and bitterness . For if it be
an accusation , it comes forward as a conclusion arising from the facts and . authorities stateu in the preceding pages . It is properly the opinion of the author , and the reader will judge how far it justly flows from the evidence laid before him . "
So far , Dr . Toulmin . His reply is that of genuine candour and good sense to violent prejudice and passion . ( 86 ) 512 , [ 481 . T . ] With Dr . Toulmin , I ask , " Why should a design to mislead be insinuated against Mr . Neal ? Has he not in the same
paragraph informed his readers , that many were of opinion , that those grievances which had been redressed ought to have been covered ? Doth he not fairly state the whole business ? And doth he not , with candour and
impartiality , avoid biassmg his reader * while he was giving a decided opinion on the conduct of the parliament in this affair > All this appears , in the hurry of his remarks , at breakfasttime , to have escaped his lordship ' s notice . Had he read on before he
wrote , in the margin of his book , it would have precluded his censure /* ( 87 ) Ib . [ Ib . T . ] This annotation contains the prelate ' s judgment on facts , which our historian has ingenuously recorded .
( 88 ) 527 . [ 494 . T . J Neal ' s Editor has satisfactorily vindicated him from this charge of " a notorious falsehood / ' which has arisen from Bishop Warburton ' s want of candour and discrimination .
( 89 ) 532 . [ 499 . T . ] Our prelate objects to Neal ' s reasoning in answer to Col Iyer ' s . Be the historian ' s argument or opinion what it may , the attack is not made upon his integrity . ( 90 ) Ib . [ Ib . T . ] Rapin as well as Neal is censured for what Bishop Warburton thinks an erroneous conclusion . ( 91 ) 534 . [ 501 . T ] The validity of
