LIFE OF ARCHBISHOP SHARP. 405 



of the Protestant Church in Poland. This gentle- 

 man had received very great prejudices in his 

 youth against the Church of England, from 

 those among whom he was educated. But after 

 he had been twice in England, and had spent 

 some time in Oxford, and in the conversation 

 of our English divines, and in the study of our 

 Liturgy and Church discipline, he became not 

 only reconciled to them, but an admirer of our 

 ecclesiastical constitution ; and took all oppor- 

 tunities ever after, of expressing his friendship 

 and zeal for the English Liturgy and ceremo- 

 nies*. 



Dr. Ursinus was likewise very well inclined 

 to a conformity in worship and discipline to that 

 of the Church of England ; but if he did not 

 prosecute the design with a warmth and zeal 

 equal to Jablouski's, it may be imputed to his 

 never having seen the Church of England in her 

 own beauties and proper dress as the other 

 had. 



absentiam ordinatus fuit. Sed duos ego hic Berolini ordinatos 

 in Poloniatn misi.'' See more in Di-. Jablouski's Reflections on 

 Monsieur Bonet's letter, Appendix II. No XII. 



* His own account of his sentiments of the Church of Eng- 

 land, and how he came by them is worth the reader's perusal. 

 It was wrote in a letter to Dr. Nicholls, in 1708 (which will 

 be found in the Appendix).
