re incontinence, the
turning away his wife, and taking the wife of his
man-servant in her room; to which may be added subornation
of witnesses. It doth not appear that he resigned his
bishoprick voluntarily, but was convented before the High
Commission Court in England in the tenth year of king James
I., and degraded. His case is cited in the long case of the
bishop of Lincoln. Before his deprivation he made a fee-farm
lease of the tithes of his see in the territory of Kilultagh
to Sir Fulk Conway at a small rent", etc. (_Ibid._, pag.
208-9).

We already had occasion to mention this unfortunate man, when treating
of the see of Down and Connor in the March number of the _Record_ (page
271); and surely no words of ours are required to make the reader fully
appreciate the true character and mission of the Establishment in our

the great Protestant historians.

gallowglasses than the lord deputy allow; and 6th, That they should
answer all general hostings, as those of the Pale do, and shall not

DR. COLENSO AND THE OLD TESTAMENT.

NO. III.

We have reserved for the last place a difficulty on which Dr. Colenso
has expended all his powers of persuasion and all his skill in
figures--"the number of the Israelites at the time of the Exodus". Here
is his argument in a few words:--Jacob and his family numbered seventy
persons when they came down into Egypt. His descendants sojourned in
