rambling; and because he spoke doubtfully about
the success of his intended Efforts and Of the supe
rior capacity of the established clergy that they
alone should monopolize education, that his Ian
guage was not to be depended upon as sincere.
How this could have come into their heads, except
from the terror into which the situation of the col
ege had thrown them, it is not easy to conceive for
certainly William Penn was as explicit any man
could have been under similar circumstances. He
informed them that after repeated efforts with the
king he feared they had come too late. This was
plain language. He informed them again that he
would make another trial with the king; that he
would read their papers TO him, unless perempto
rily commanded to forbear but that, if he failed,
they must attribute his want of success not to his
want of will, but want of power:
''This, though expressive OF his doubts and fears,
was but necessary caution when his exertions had
already failed and it was still more necessary when
there was reason to suppose that, though the king
had regard for him, and was glad to employ him
as an instrument in forwarding his public views,
yet that he would not crafty him where his solicit
atoms directly opposed them That William Penn
did afterwards make trial with the king to serve
the college, there can be no doubt, because no in
stance be produced wherein he ever forfeited
his word or broke his promise. But all trials with
this view must of necessity have been Intellectual.
The king and his ministers had already determined
the point in question"
Such were the sentiments OF Clarkson.
