Jonathan Shipley, 1714-1788, bishop of St. Asaph. Regarding this sermon, Benjamin Franklin wrote to his son William Franklin, from London
on April 6, 1773: “
. . . I have sent to Mr. Galloway, one of the Bishop of St. Asaph’s Sermons to your Society for propagating the Gospel. I
would have sent you one, but you will receive it of course as a Member. It contains such liberal and generous Sentiments,
relating to the Conduct of Government here towards America, that Sir J. P.
[John Pringle]
says it was written in compliment to me. But from the Intimacy of Friendship in which I live with the Author, I know he has
express’d nothing but what he thinks and feels; and I honour him the more, that thro’ the mere Hope of doing Good, he has
hazarded the Displeasure of the Court, and of course the Prospect of further Preferment . . .
