on the great Bishop of Winchester, namely, that he was an illiterate person, and that this was the reason why Edward hesitated to appoint him Bishop of Winchester. This is a point which in a great measure addresses itself to the eye, and therefore is not a subject for reasoning. But the general tone of the letter is so easy, though addressed, whilst he was yet only an archdeacon, to a person of great eminence, that it is quite as satisfactory as the caligraphy, and both the one and the other may well have weight in disproof of this accusation with every unprejudiced person.
