formation conferred by that body on a Roman Catholick. He now came to London, and officiated for a few months in the Imperial Ambaffador's chapel, till it was fuppreffed, at the end of 1780, by order of, the Emperor Jofeph II. He afterwards preached occafionally at Duke-street chapel till Eafter 1782, when it is believed he declined the exercife of all clerical functions, and gave himself up to the tranflation of the Bible, of which he first formed the defign 1760; and of which he published a Frofpectus in 1786, 4to. The oppofition he met with among the members of his own church, and the long and cruel interruption he complains of to his biblical ftudies, were at length relieved by a patron who, for the last 10 years, with a dignity peculiar to himself, afforded him every conveniency that his heart could defire towards the carrying on and completing his arduous work. This patron was the late Lord Petre, whofe munificence was ex tended, by his will, beyond his life; but even this was not fufficient to carry through the prefs more than the firit fix books of the Old Teftament, published 1792. A dangerous fever, and its lafting confeqrences, put a stop to the prefs work for a whole year; but the rubs the author met with from profeffed Catholicks and bis own brethren were a trial of patience not esfily borne. Ignorance, envy, and malice, in the various thapes of monks, friars, and witlings, had been bufy 10 years in depreciating his labours, and affaffinating his reputation. The fecond volume appeared 1797, dedicated to the Duchefs of Gloucester, as the firit had been to Lord Petre; and, in a volume of critical remarks, published 1800, he entered into a full vindication of his theory reipecting the Jewish Scriptures, A Letter to the Bishop of London on the fubject, 1787. Propofals, 1788. A general answer to the Queries, Councils, and Criticifms, refpecting it, 17.10. Addrefs to the Publick on its Publication, 1793. Letter to the Bishop of Centuria, 1794. He had printed in octavo 104 of the Pfalms, and prepared for prels as far as the 118th, when a painful and excruciating dif order put an end to his life. As a controverfi.lift, D.. G. diftinguished himf, 1787, by a Letter to Dr. Freftley, m defence of the Divinity of Chritt; and by a Letter to a Member of Parliament on the expediency of a General Repeal of all Penal Statues regarding ReIgious Opinions; and by 6. a modeit Apology for the Roman Catholicks of Great Britain, 1800." On the Thuifday after his decease he was interred in the church-yard of Paddington; and his funeral tended by his Steady and generous patron Mr. Timothy Brown, Doctors Crombie, Calder, and Difney, Mellrs. King, Good, Jarvis, and Chalmers, P. 285. Mifs Wilkes had invited a large party of friends, fome to dinner, and fome to a rout in the evening; but, finding herfelf unwell, she went to bed about one o'clock in the morning, and about five minutes after rung the bell for her maid, who fent for medical affistance. Mifs W. however, expired before Mr. Jones, of Mountftreet (the gentleman called in), had been prefent many minutes. Her complaint was a cramp in the ftomach, a disease often almost instantaneously fatal. It hardly ever gives any previous warning of its attack; the pain is violent; and a fenfe of coldnets is generally felt; but no marks of morbid affection have been found in those who have been opened after death. Of her property, which was confiderable and at her own difpofal, the has made a very prudent and benevolent difpofition, as shall be fated in a future number. L BIRTHS. LATRY, the wel, of.
