[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.
