State Papers, Dom. Charles II. Wood says (Ath. Ox. iv. 334), “On the 22nd of April, 1675, being the very day that Dr. Fuller, Bishop of Lincoln, died, after several discussions that passed between His Majesty, and certain persons of honour then present, concerning the person to be preferred, Dr. Barlow was introduced into the presence of His Majesty, and had the grant of that see, and forthwith kissed His Majesty’s hand for the same.” Coventry and Williamson were his friends.
