To the Printer of the 'St. James's Chronicle' 2 LONDON, February 5, I 765. SIR, To the four questions proposed to me in your last week's paper, I answer: 1. None of those six persons lately ordained by a Greek bishop were ordained with my consent or knowledge. 2. I will not, cannot, own or receive them as clergymen. 3. I think an ordination performed in a language not understood by the persons ordained is not valid. 4. I think it is absolutely unlawful for any one to give money to the Bishop (or to any one for him) for ordaining him. I am, sir, Your humble servant.
