The Manuscript 37 Duke advised previously with Bp Trevor & Bp Drummond about this matter. For he directed me to visit them both, as soon as I could: which I did. Several Days past, before I was directed to kiss the Kings Hand. When I had done it on

I appointed Dr Simpson to succeed him, on the strong Recommendation of the Duke of Newcastle & Lord Hardwicke: having then never heard any thing to the Disadvantage of his Character. I heard too much afterwards. 3 )[July 7. I wrote a strong Letter to the Duke of Newcastle in Favour of the University of Oxford, which see.]] July 10 I set out upon my Visitation: & July {26} returned to reside at Lambeth. The King expressed great Satisfaction in both. In those 18 Days I confirmed about 15 times. Bp Yonge, then of Bristol was so kind as to assist me. The Expences of my Visitation were near 488^: of which abt 90 1 * was for religious Tracts given away; & about 86 1 * Charity to different Parishes & Persons. Procurations reed {then} in all were {78-8-6} < 101-6-10). ABp Herring had not resided at Lambeth for several of the last Years of his Life: ABp Hutton, not at all. An absurd & hurtful Custom had obtained, of giving Ale to all Servants, who came to the Gate on any Message. After so long an Intermission, this might have been left off: but was continued long before I knew, that any such Custom had ever been. And so the Opportunity was lost. All the Drains, & the Canal from the East End of the Gallery, & the Ditch from the Back-Gate, were nearly choaked up. And cleaning them, which should have been made part of the Dilapidations, but was not, cost a great Deal. Whilst this noisome Work was doing, in the month of August, we went to Lord Roystons in St James's Square; where I had a regular & moderate Fit of the Gout. 2)[Some time this Summer, the University of Oxford presented an Address to the King. I took great personal Pains with him to persuade him to receive it kindly. I could not prevail on him to speak to the Persons, who presented it. But he read it afterwards: & then directed me to return the University Thanks for it from him; which I did by a Letter to the Vice-Chancellor.] On the Duke of Newcastles Recommendation, I took for my Oxford Chaplain, very willingly, Dr Hall, who had been FOLIO 52 Chaplain to ABp Hutton; Dr Burton, for whom I was 1758-1764 instrumental in procuring a Canonry of Christ-Church, having a Wife & Family, & the Care of a Church in Town. 3 )[To him I gave in Apr. 1760 All Hallows Breadstreet, worth 170 1 * a year and in Oct. 1761 Bocking R. worth 450^, wch being above 30 miles from London, though Dr Walker had held it with a London Living, I would not give a Dispensation, though All Hallows thus fell to the Church of Canterbury. In 1764 I added to Dr Hall South-Church R.
