Noting that he anticipates no serious opposition in the upcoming election; discussing a "movement among a certain section of the clergy of the county against [him] on the ground of objection to certain passages in [his] late work" [his Lord George Bentinck: a political biography]; maintaining that his work is "eminently religious" and not "infidel"; asking Partridge whether such a movement is "organised"; urging his point that "it is of the utmost importance for the sake of the Church itself, that there sh[ou]ld be no scandalous schism bet[wee]n any considerable body of the clergy & the leader in the H[ouse] of Comm[ons] of a conservative ministry. If this conservative ministry fail, another will not be seen in a hurry"; saying that he will "not remain member for Bucks, unless the clergy heartily support" him.
