Whilst I here exercised the first Labours of my Ministry, two several Assaults did threaten my Expulsion: The one was a new Oath,1 which was made by the Convocation, commonly called The Et caetera Oath: For it was to swear us all, That we would never Consent to the Alteration of the present Government of the Church, by Archbishops, Bishops, Deans, Arch-deacons, &c. This cast the Ministers throughout England into a Division, and new Disputes. Some would take the Oath, and some would not.
