History Of The Diocese Of Meath Volume Ii PDF Download

Excerpt from History of the Diocese of Meath, Vol. 2 of 2 Nearly all the bishops followed the lead Of Dopping. There were, however, among them two non-jurors. One was Sheridan, Bishop Of Kilmore, who retaliated the injuries inflicted on him from his late sovereign by a faithful and immovable allegiance. He left his diocese and went over to England, and was there upon deprived, ostensibly because he had absented himself from his diocese without licence, but, Of course, really because he refused to take the oath of allegiance. The other non-juror was Otway, Bishop of Ossory. An order for his suspension was issued, but Bishop Dopping interceded for him, and urged that he that continues steadfast to the late King, from whom he received SO many disobligations, and so Slender a protection, will be much more so to his Majesty, when his judgment is convinced. 2 Dopping also wrote to Otway, setting forth the reasons why in his judgment the Prince Of Orange should be acknowledged. Whether he succeeded in convincing him, or whether, being such an old man, it was deemed advisable to condone his Offence, is not clear, but at all events, he was allowed to retain his See until his death, which occurred two years later.
