DISHONESTY OF THE PRIEST-

HOOD.

(From the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald.)
Doctor Jeffry Glynn's will, by which was foundett
and endowed " a grammar school to be ever maintained
in the town of Bangor, for the better education an
bringing up of poor men's children."
It recites "In the name of God, Amen, July 86,1557'
I Jeffry Glynn, Doctor of the Civil Law, do make mY
Testament and last will, &c.
" First I give and bequeath my Frier House in Bangor,
with all other Lands, Tenements, and Hereditarnents,
with their appurtenances all and singular thereunto he;
longing, as also all other my Lands, Tenements, 011 n
Hereditaments, in North Wales '
, or elsewhere, wit"'
the realm of England, to the Right Reverend Fathers
in God, Morrice Bishop of Rochester, and William
Bislipp of Bangor, their heirs and assigns for evermore,
to the intent and purpose that the said I3ishops, °r
the survivors of them, or theirs, or the survivors of then"
shall within the space of half a year next after my de"
•
cease, cause the same to be assured in due form of 1a w,
as learned counsel shall best devise, to the use of n
Grammar School, to be ever maintained in the said
Town of Bangor, for the better education and bringing
up of poor men's children. And I will that meal
pounds of my goods be spent upon the edifying of the
said House within one year after my decease.
''ltem
:—I give and bequeath to the said Bishops, the
Bishop of Rochester and the Bishop of Bangor:or
hundred pounds of good and lawful money of Englaa"
charging them before God, that they or either of then',
shall purchase in lands, hereditaments, reversions,
other annual commodities, to the yearly value of twen,tY
pounds by the year, and the same to make sure to toe
use .of ten poor scholars, diligently to be brought UP of
the same school of Bangor. And I will that every °
d
the said scholars shall receive yearly of the said lens'
or tenements so purchased forty shillings a year towards

There is every conveniency for carrying the
of the founder into effect. The situation is vile,

The population of Bangor, and the adjoining ;parisui
of Llandegai and Llanllechid amounts to considelbild
more than 10,000. Here then we have an amPle*"•ehe
for carrying into effect the beneficent intention of
founder of an establishment for the education of P°°
men's children, under the immediate inspection of be
Bishop and the higher clergy ; and the result is
tided illustration of the degree of benefit the 1140redi
classes of the community have to expect from auy fun
which Parliament may grant towards their education;
if such funds be left under the control, and subieeof
to the discretionary management, of the clergy
the Established Church. The Bangor School di:
a fair specimen of the manner in which bondlo,
of similar foundations, expressly intended for ,700
education of the poorer classes of the community, 1/4..,
left. to the tender mercies of the Law Church, have beg
burked, mad their funds prostituted to administer to, tna'r
selfish objects of individuals. Here is a free gralstnts
school amply endowed for the education of poor laco a
children, under the immediate eye of the Bishop

Yet, in the face of such a barefaced pr slit
aciut!ty to
a public trust, • the clergy have the nufools-
pollute their respective pulpits by shooting

bolts against the Government plan or w" of
education ; claiming for themselves the sole right
managing whatever funds may be granted for the Pc"
poses of general education. And, at the same tune'
with the dishonest view of enlisting public prejudice i°
their favour, they set themselves up, forsooth, as tbe
advocates of such education, and such education onlY,
as has the Bible for its hand-hook. Such hypocritical
dishonesty is well worthy the adoption of the politic:E.
intriguers constituting the great bulk of the ) elcrgi : 0
the Law Church ; but it is totally unworthy the
sane
of either honest or honourable men.
