Note 337 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Ecclesiastic, April, 1852. Grainger's Biog. Hist., iii. 236; Burnet's Hist. of his own Times, i. 177.
Baxter tells us "he was the chief speaker of all the Bishops, and the greatest interrupter of us, vehemently going on with what he thought serviceable to his end, and bearing down answers by the said fervour and interruptions."—Life and Times, part ii. p. 363. Of course I do not forget that in this quotation from Baxter we have the report of an antagonist; but the readiness and candour with which he allows moderation and other virtues where they existed on the part of any of the Episcopalians, give weight to his estimates of character.
