WARBURTON, William, Bp. of Gloucefter, who has been justly styled vir magnus, acer, memorabilis, was defcended from an ancient and confiderable family in Cheshire. His grandfather diftinguished himself in the civil wars of the 17th century, in the royal party. He had 3 fons; the second of whom, George, being bred to the law, practifed as an attorney at Newark in that county. William, the subject of this memoir, and the 2d fon of Mr George Warburton, was born at Newark, Dec. 24, 1698. He was first put to school there under a Mr Twells, but had the chief part of his education at Okeham in Rutlandfhire, where he continued till the beginning of 1714, when, his coufin being made head master of the school at Newark, he returned to his native place, and was for a very fhort time under the care of that learned and respectable relation. In April that year, he was put out clerk to Mr Kirke, an eminent attorney of Great Markham in Nottinghamshire; and continued with that gentleman till 1719. He then returned to his family at Newark. He had always expreffed a strong inclination to take orders; and on the 22d Dec. 1723, he was ordained deacon, and prieft March 1, 1727. In 1728, he was presented by Sir Robert Sutton to the rectory of Brand-Broughton; where he wrote all the great works which will carry his fame down to pofterity. In 1736, he published The Alliance between Church and State; or, the Neceffity and Equity of an Established Religion and a Teft Law; demonftrated from the Effence and End of Civil Society, upon the fundamental Principles of the Law of Nature and Nations." In 1737, he pub hfhed the 1ft vol. of The Divine Legation of Mofes demonftrated on the Principles of a religious Deift, from the Omiffion of the Doctrine of a future State of Rewards and Punishments in the Ferifh Dispenfation. In 1737, an intermitting fever had nearly proved fatal to him, but it was relieved by a plontiful ufe of the bark. Mr Warburton's merit ad now attracted the notice of the heir apparent, in whofe fervice we find him in 1738, when he published Faith working by Charity to Christian Édification, a Sermon. His next work was "A Vind I cation cation of Mr Pope's Effay on Man, by the author Answer to the Rev. Dr Middleton, Dr Pococke, of the Divine Legation." Towards the end of the Master of the Charter Houfe, Dr Richard Grey, 1739, Mr Warburton publifhed a new and impro- and others; ferving to explain and juftify divers Pa ved edition of the 1ft vol. of the Divine Legation; fages in the Divine Legation, objected to by those and in May 1741, appeared the ad part, which learned Writers.

At this period, when Mr Warburton had ture of National Offences truly ftated.-Preached the entire confidence of Mr Pope, he advifed him on the General Faft-day, Dec. 18, 1745-6." Op to complete the Dunciad, and add to it a 4th account of the last of these fermons, he was again bock. This was accordingly executed in 1742, involved in a controverfy with his former antago and publifhed early in 1743, with notes by our nift Dr Stebbing, which occafioned "An Apoloauthor; who, in confequence of it, received his getical Dedication to the Rev.

At Mr Pope's defire, he, about this time, revifed and corrected the Effay on Homer, as it now ftands in the laft edition of that tranlation. The publication of The Dunciad was the last fervice which our author rendered Mr Pope in his lifetime. After a lingering and tedious ilinefs, the event of which had been long forefeen, this great poet died on the 30th May 1744; and by his will, dated the 12th of Dec bequeathed to Mr Warburton one half of his library, and the property of all fuch of his works already printed as he had not otherwife difpofed of or alienated. In 1744, Mr Warburton turned his attention to the feveral attacks which had been made on the Divine Legation, and defended himself in a manner which, if it did not prove him to be poffeded of much humility or diffidence, at leaft de- monitrated, that he knew how to wield the weapons of controverfy with the hand of a master. His firft defence now appeared under the title of "Remarks on feveral occafional Reflections, in "Preface to 3. of the late unnatural Rebellion" In 1747 appear and followed, in 1767, by a 3d volume of fermons, to which is added, his firft Triennial Charge to the Clergy of his Diocefe; which is one of the most valuable difcourfes of the kind to be found in any language. With this publication he closed his literary courfe; except that he made an effort towards publishing, and actually printed, the 9th and laft book of the Divine Legation. This book, with one or two occafional fermons, and fome valuable directions for the ftudy of theology, have been given to the world in the fplendid edi tion of his works in 7 vols 4to, by his friend and biographer the Bp. of Worcefter. That prelate fays, that the 9th vol. under all disadvantages, is the nobleft effort which has hitherto been made to give a rationale of Chriftianity. While the Bp. of Gloucefter was thus exerting his aft ftrength in the caufe of religion, he projected a method by which he hoped to render it effectual fervice after his death. He transferred L. 500 to Lord Mansfield, Sir Eardley Wilmot, and Mr Charles Yorke, upon trust, to found a lecture, in the form of a courfe of fermons, to prove the truth of revealed religion in general, and of the Chriftian in particular, from the completion of the prophecies in the Old and New Testament, which relate to the Chriftian church, especially to the apoftacy of Papal Rome. To this foundation we owe the admirable Introductory Lectures of Hurd, and the well-adapted Continuation of Halifax and Bagot. After this, by the decay of nature, the Bp. fell into a habit of melancholy, which was aggravated by the lofs of his only fon, who died of a confumption but a fhort time before his father, who died June 1779, in the 81ft year of his age. A neat marble monument has been erected to him in the cathedral of Gloucefter, with a proper infcription. and fiery Eruption which defeated that Emperor's attempt to rebuild the Temple at Jerufalem, 1750." A 2d edition of this difcourfe, "with Additions, appeared in 1751, in which year he gave the public his edition of Mr Pope's Works, with Notes, in 9 vols. 8vo; and in the fame year printed "An Anfwer to a Letter to Dr Middleton, inferted in a Pamphlet intitled, The Argument of the Divine Legation fairly stated," &c.; and "An Account of the Prophecies of Arife Evans, the Welth Prophet in the laft Century," annexed to the first volume of Dr Jortin's Remarks on Ecclefiaftical History. In 1752, he published the firft volume of his fermons, preached at Lincoln's Inn, entitled, "The Principles of Natural and Revealed Religion, occafionally opened and explained; and this, in 1754, was followed by a 2d. His next work was "A View of Lord Bolingbroke's Philofophy." In Sept. 1754, he was appointed one of his Majefty's chaplains, and in the next year was prefented to a prebend in the cathedral of Durham. About this time the degree of D. D. was conferred on him by Dr Herring, Abp. of Canterbury. A new impreffion of The Divine Legation being now called for, he printed a 4th edition of the first part of it, with a dedication to the earl of Hardwicke. The fame year appeared "A Sermon preached before Charles Duke of Marlborough, Prefident, and the Governors of the Hofpital for the Small-pox and for Inoculation, at the Parish-church of St Andrew, Holborn, April 24, 1755" And in 1756, "Natural and Civil Events the Inftruments of God's Moral Government; a Sermon on the Faft-day, at Lincoln's Inn Chapel." In 1757, Dr Warburton meeting with Mr Hume's tract, entitled, The Natural History of Religion, filled the margin of the book, and fome interleaved flips of paper, with many fevere and threwd remarks on the infi. delity and naturalism of the author. These he put into the hands of his friend Dr Hurd, who, making a few alterations of the ftyle, added a thort introduction and conclufion, and published them in a pamphlet, entitled, "Remarks on Mr David Hume's Natural History of Religion, by a Gentleman of Cambridge, in a Letter to the Rev. Dr Warburton." Towards the end of 1757, Dr Warburton was promoted to the deanery of Briftol; and in the beginning of 1760, he was, thro' Mr Allen's intereft with Mr Pitt, afterwards earl of Chatham, advanced to the bifhopric of Glouofter. He was confecrated on the 20th January, 1760, and on the 30th preached before the houfe of lords. In 1761, he printed "A Rational Account of the Nature and End of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper." In 1762, he published" The Doctrine of Grace; or the Office and Operations of the Holy Spirit Vindicated from the infults of Infid.lity and the Abufes of Fanaticifm," 2 vols 12mo; and in 1762 drew upon himfelf much illeberal abufe from fome writers of the popular party, on occafion of his complaint in the houfe of lords, on the 15th Nov. 1763, against Mr Wilkes, for putting his name to certain notes on the infamous" Ellay on Woman." In 1765 he published a New edition of the 2d part of the Divine Legation, in 3 vols. In 1766, he gave a new and much improved edition of the Alliance. This was (2.)
