_Nonjurors' Oratories in London_ (Vol. ii., p. 354.).--
"Nothing, my lord, appears so dreadful to me, as the account I have of
the barefaced impudence of your Jacobite congregations in London. The
marching of the King's forces to and fro through the most factious
parts of the kingdom, must (in time) put an end to our little country
squabbles; but your _fifty churches_ of nonjurors could never be thus
daring, were they not sure of the protection of some high
ally."--Letter from Bishop Nicholson to Archbishop Wake, dated Rose,
Sept. 20. 1716. in Ellis's _Letters_, Series iii.
