ANTHONY DOPPING, BISHOP OF MEATH. ANTHONY DOPPING, the subject of this paper, was son of a Gloucestershire gentleman of the same name, who had purchased an estate in the county Meath in 1636. The future bishop was born in Dublin in March, 1643, and his boyhood's lot was consequently cast upon the troubled times when the rebellion of 1641 was being crushed out by the iron hand of Cromwell. Anthony was educated at St. Patrick's School, and entered Trinity College in May, 1656. His earlier academic years were passed under the r6gime of the Cromwellian Fellows; and after the Restoration his name appears in the first list of Scholars elected. Next year (1662), at the age of 19, he obtained a Fellowship, " in which (the sweetness of his temper was such) he executed all the duties of his place to the satisfaction both of his superiors and inferiors."' Later on, in 1681-2, he was appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University. In this capacity he was able to do the College some little service, when the evil days of James II. and Tyrconnell came: at least he succeeded in preventing the intended imprisonment of all the collegians, though even this, as Archbishop King tells us, "cost him all his cunning and interest to effect."'2 In the meantime he had vacated his Fellowship, on his appointment as vicar of St. Andrew's, Dublin, 1669, and was shortly afterwards married to Jane, daughter of " honest Sam Molyneux," chief engineer of Ireland, and sister of Sir Thomas Molyneux, first baronet. The ancient parish of St. Andrew had been reconstituted in 1665, and Dopping was the second vicar. Up to this time the parishioners had worshipped at St. Wer- burgh's, but during his incumbency a new church was built, "after an ovall model," on the bowling green 1 Walter Harris, Works of Sir J.

Dr. Dopping was very regular in his attendance at the parochial vestry meetings-his signature as vicar is only once wanting to their minutes; and the index and marginal references in his hand, which may still be seen in the Parish Register, are evidences of the careful attention to detail, which was a marked feature of his life. In those days the city churches were largely attended by people of rank and fashion. Sir William Temple was one of the congregation of St. Andrew's when Dopping ministered there; and in a letter, written from Moor Park eighteen years afterwards, he tells his old vicar that he has " retained the opinion which I then conceived of that goodness and prudence, which are not so commonly met with in the clergy as learning and eloquence.''2 The year 1679 saw Dopping's advancement to the episcopal bench. Through the influence of the Duke of Ormonde, then Lord Lieutenant, whose chaplaincy he held, he was appointed Bishop of Kildare, and conse- crated shortly afterwards in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. Three years later he was translated to Meath, and at the same time made a Privy Councillor.3 As Bishop of Meath he lent his influence and efforts to the project which was then on foot of publishing the Bible in Irish. The New Testament and the Book of Common Prayer had been printed in that language at the beginning of the century. Convocation had passed canons in 1634, in spite of the opposition of Bramhall and others, enjoining the conduct of divine service in the Irish tongue, wherever it was spoken. Bedell had translated the Old Testament, but the Rebellion of 1641 'J. T. Gilbert, History of Dublin, 1859, vol. iii. p. 306. The present church of St. Andrew occupies the same site, but the church of Dopping's day had fallen into such decay in the next century that it was rebuilt between 1793 and 1807. This building, commonly called the " Round Church," was burned to the ground on Christmas Day, x86o. = Dopping Correspondence, preserved in Armagh Library, no. 178.

The original Irish type had fallen into the possession of the Jesuits, and had been carried by them to Douai. But when the Restoration of Charles II. had improved the condition of affairs in Ireland, the Hon. Robert Boyle conceived the design of reprinting the New Testament in Irish, and it was published in 1681. Henry Jones, then Bishop of Meath, was greatly interested in the undertaking. He had in his keeping the manuscript of Bedell's Old Testament, and he urged Boyle to get this printed also.' The sheets, "a con- fused heap, pitifully defaced and broken,"2 were put into the hands of Dr. Andrew Sail, a converted Roman Catholic with a competent knowledge of the Irish language, who had come over to Ireland to help in the business of translation and supervision. Jones's death at this juncture was very inopportune; but fortunately the sympathies of his successor had already been enlisted: indeed Jones had informed Dr. Sall that Dopping was the only man whom he had gained to join him in the work.3 The new bishop, however, was fully alive to the difficulties that were to be faced. In a letter to Lady Ranelagh, Boyle's sister, he says:- " I am of opinion that the prosecution of this worke will meet with two considerable impediments, the one from some politicians of our owne communion, who are of opinion that the Irish being a conquered nation and there being some statute laws made for conforming them to the English language and customs, their language ought rather to be discountenanced than incouraged, and that the carrying on of the present designe would be an arraignment of the wisdom of our ancestors. The other wch is more considerable, is the little or no hope of doing any good among them by this reason for want of good laws for the banishing of the priests and fryars from among them. For they have obtained so great an authority among the people and they are so much inslaved to the dictates of yr teachers that whatever T, Birch, Worksof the Hon.

But in spite of difficultiesthe projectwas not abandoned. On the death of Dr. Sail, the manuscripthaving come into Dopping's hands, he gave it to Narcissus Marsh, Provost of Trinity College2; and the work was eventu- ally completedunder the supervisionof Dr. Hunting- ton, who succeeded Marsh as provost. Meanwhile Dopping had written a circular letter to the Irish bishops, soliciting subscriptions. An extract will show his views:- " How it may be a meansof convertingthe natives to the Protestantreligion, that somethingought to be done by or clergy to convert recusants, by whose labours they are maintained,that it was thought worthy of this nationall church to provide canons for reading the service in the native tongue, that the Reformaiqn obtained a prosperous successe among the Welsh and English by having the word of God translated and preached in those languages, that the insuccessfulness of it among us is to bee imputed to the want of it, and that since all former statutes (for converting the natives to the English language) have proved insuccessful, it will bee no harme to try whether .the word of God dressed up in yr owne tongue may not have that influence upon their reformaion wch our labour has hitherto beene unable to effect.""3 Six or seven of the bishops promised, in answer, to assist; others refused.4 Dopping also wrote a preface for this version of the Old Testament, but we learn from some correspondence between Boyle and Huntington' that it had apparently been lost, and the book was published without a preface in 1685-.

  • SUPPLEMENT to the CORRESPONDENCE of ROBERT BOYLE Updated 2017
    SUPPLEMENT TO THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ROBERT BOYLE Updated 2017 Note: This section comprises the texts in chronological order of all letters to or from Boyle that have come to light since The Correspondence of Robert Boyle was published in 2001, together with information about lost letters that was not included in the edition. The most significant source of extant letters is the Dopping Collection at Armagh, which was unfortunately overlooked during the preliminary search for materials for this edition. These letters form part of a three-volume collection of Anthony Dopping’s papers which in the eighteenth century came into the possession of the collector, Michael Ignatius Duggan. From him they passed to Dr John Lodge, remaining in the Lodge family until they were purchased for the Public Library in Armagh in 1865. They are published here by kind permission of the Governors and Guardians of Armagh Public Library. A further ‘new’ letter, from Boyle to Samuel Clarke, which is now in the collection of the Royal Irish Academy, has clearly come from an autograph collection, probably of nineteenth-century date: it seems likely that further scattered items that have survived as part of autograph collections will come to light in due course. Three further letters have been added to the version updated in 2017, one a Boyle- Hartlib letter that survives only through a copy in a notebook of James Tyrrell now in the Wellcome Library, the others letters from Boyle to Thomas Hyde that survive in an 18th-century edition of Hyde’s writings and which were kindly drawn to our attention by Will Poole.

  • A Preface to Swift's Test Act Tracts
    Ian Higgins The Australian National University, Canberra A Preface to Swift’s Test Act Tracts Abstract. There are seven securely canonical polemical works by Jonathan Swift that are primarily concerned with opposing Whig attempts to repeal the Sacramental Test in favour of Protestant Dissenters in Ireland. They are occasional prose works, polemical interventions in topical controversies over the repeal attempts of 1707–9 and 1732–33. In his Test Act tracts, and in other polemical and satirical writings, Swift responds to an array of Dissenting arguments arraigned against the Sacramental Test. One of these Dissenting anti-Test argu- ments was that temporal rewards for religious conformity and penalties for Nonconformity encouraged religious hypocrisy. Swift’s response to this argument has become notorious. This essay will offer a short view of Swift on the Sacramental Test and hypocrisy. It will notice the kinds of general argument Swift drew upon in defence of conformity and for imposing civil disabilities on Dissenters. I The Sacramental Test, in Swift’s words, “obliges all Men, who enter into Office under the Crown, to receive the Sacrament according to the Rites of the Church of Ireland.”1 The Test Act had been imposed in England in 1673 after the forced withdrawal of Charles II’s Second Declaration of Indulgence in 1672. It required “that all and every person or persons … that shall bear any office or offices, civil or military” must take “the Sacrament of the Lords Supper according to the usage of the Church of England.” The Test Act of 1678 further required all Members of Parliament to make a declaration against the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.2 After the passing of the Toleration Act in 1689, the Test Acts were the principal bulwark of the Anglican confessional state or at least of the Anglican monopoly of public office.

    934 WILLIAM KING: A GREAT ARCHBISHOP 'Wltlltam 1ktng : a \Breat arcbbtabop. Bv M. G. MEDCALF. HE name of William King, though, perhaps, unfamiliar to T English readers, has a just claim to our remembrance as a great church-builder, and a zealous champion of the material and spiritual interests of the Church. The greatest of the Archbishops of Dublin since the Reformation, no other prelate has left his mark on the diocese to the same extent. Dean of St. Patrick's in the days of the Revolution, he took a prominent part in the stirring events of these times. A strong ruler, a good fighter, he made many enemies as he passed through life. But his enemies were those whose vices gave them good cause to fear him. His was no faultless character. He was stern and unyielding, at times even arrogant and overbearing, but in days when everything was bought and sold, William King stands out as an upright and conscientious pastor of souls, who devoted all his powers and all his substance to the service of the Church. William King was born in 16 50 in the town of Antrim, the son of a Scotch Presbyterian. As a small boy he had the greatest difficulty in learning how to read. As a schoolboy he showed a very independent spirit, refusing to learn anything until satisfied himself as to its practical utility. He often played truant from school in order to read biography and history. Of this par(of his life he says in his Autobiography: "I obtained a book of arithmetic and learned the rules with the greatest pleasure as far as the extraction of square root, but I dared not tell this to anyone lest I should be flogged." He rebelled against what he considered the unprofitable labour of learning by heart a Latin grammar in Latin, while all the time he was read­ ing diligently in spare hours the works of Ovid, Virgil, Persius, and Horace.

The questions these two books raised for the settlement of Ireland and for the relationship between the two kingdoms of Ireland and England have become very important for Anglo-Irish political history yet their publication circumstances in 1691 have not been considered. The article argues that studying these circumstances, applying the methods of book history, and analysing carefully reception contexts reveals the ways that senior government figures used print for political and personal influence, demonstrates the growing role and sophistication of printed discourse in Anglo-Irish politics, and uncovers how networks of trusted friends and allies operating between kingdoms could be crucial for the production and favourable reception of political argument in print.

  • The Religion of a Lawyer? William Blackstone's Anglicanism Wilfrid Prest
    The Religion of a Lawyer? William Blackstone’s Anglicanism 153 The Religion of a Lawyer? William Blackstone’s Anglicanism Wilfrid Prest William Blackstone’s Anglicanism was neither so intolerantly High Church nor so pragmatically supportive of the socio-political order as recent writers have suggested. Blackstone’s views did not remain constant over his life, and while his first published work does display an intense commitment to the Established Church, his later dealings with Dissenters point to the development of a less combative, more eirenic position. I We scarcely think of George Yule as an historian of Anglicanism. Yet the considerable extent to which godly reformation of the Ecclesia Anglicana remained a common, or at least widely-shared goal, even despite clear lack of agreement as to how that end might best be achieved, is a theme which runs through Yule’s various accounts of religious life in early modern England, both before and during the great upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century. He also emphasized that before 1660 ‘to make hard and fast distinctions between Anglicans and Puritans in general terms is positively misleading’. The reason was simply stated: apart from a few sectaries ‘not only were all Puritans Anglicans but the style of the English Church could be described as predominantly Puritan’. Hence ‘the impossibility of sharply drawing lines between Puritans and so-called Anglicans’, at least 1 before the Stuart restoration. The return of the monarchy and the bishops in 1660 initiated developments which made it increasingly difficult to posit the essential unity of English Protestants, especially after the Toleration Act of 1689.
