292 HISTORY OF
in Surry, in a vault which had been made to receive those of Mrs. Horsley, who
died some time before him. The elegant and affectionate inscription on the mo-
nument, which he wrote to perpetuate her virtues, has no addition for himself, but
the lines which mark, that in death they were not divided.
It is not to be supposed, that, in times like those in which this prelate lived,
such an ardent, powerful, and devoted supporter of the established order of things,
in church and state, as he was, could fail of having enemies. The opinion, how-
ever, cannot be controverted, that he had great attainments and superior talents;
that, in general and scriptural knowledge, he had few equals; that he exposed and
overcame one of the most dangerous and seducing heresies of modern times; and
that his intellectual vigour, distinguished learning, critical sagacity, as well as
recondite knowledge, have combined to place him among the most eminent men
of his age and country.
His splendid edition of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton; his Commentaries on
the Prophets; his Dissertation on the Latin and Greek Prosodies; his Controversy
with Priestley; and a long catalogue of sermons, charges, and other detached
publications, are the fruits of his talents and sjpdious life.
On the translation of Bishop Horsley to the see of St. Asaph, the vacant
deanery was filled by the Rev. Dr. William Vincent, head master of Westminster
school; so well known, and so eminently distinguished, for his learning and his
virtues. This dignity he still enjoys—and may he long enjoy it.
SEMPER HONOS, NOMENQUE SUUM, LAUDESQUE MANEBUNT.
