Ecclesiastical notes on patronage bill and lordly reform
A critical review of the bishops bill on church patronage in England. The report of the Lords select committee shows broad parliamentary emasculation, striking out clauses expanding parishioner rights and bishop duties, leaving a weak measure. The piece also comments on Mr Charley’s failed bid to raise spiritual peers and praises Richard’s St Alban’s Bishopric speech.
