In a little more than 100 years the Protestant Bench was bombarded with a heart-searching oath this time of allegiance. Opinion was divided; the point was not so clear as in 1559. The Archbishop of York and his brethren of London, Lincoln, Bristol, Winchester, Rochester, Llandaff and St. Asaph, Carlisle and St. David's, swore to bear true allegiance to Their Majesties King William and Queen Mary.
On the motion of the Bishop of Llandaff, the words 'on the true faith of a Christian' were inserted in the declaration a clause which, by the way, had the effect, as Lord Holland perceived at the time, of excluding Jews from Parliament until the year 1858.
There was quite enough to satisfy the cravings even of his multiform spirit. He soon came to know, and to be on terms of greater or less intimacy with, Coleridge, Wordsworth, De Quincey, Southey, the celebrated Bishop Watson, of the See of Llandaff, Charles Lloyd, and others, then the genii loci.
He was a man of great mark and influence at Oxford, where he died and was buried. There is a monument to him in the chapel of Balliol. He was translated to this see from Llandaff, where he had been bishop since 1816. He was buried in the New Building the last bishop interred in the cathedral.

He too, according to Bede, who lived some 250 years after his time, went to Rome; and he is said to have visited and corresponded with St. Martin of Tours. Dubricius, again, whom legend makes the contemporary both of St. Patrick and of King Arthur, appears in Wales, as bishop and abbot of Llandaff. He too is ordained by a Roman bishop, St.
