Letter from Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath and Wells to George Harbin, c1709. Letter from the Bishop of Bath and Wells to the Reverend George Harbin, the Non-juror chaplain to Viscount Weymouth, explaining, in answer to censures of Mr. Pitts, his action when 'deprived' with the other Non-juror Bishops in 1691. The letter was probably written in answer to an anonymous pamphlet entitiled The Character of a Primative Bishop, published in 1709. The writer, who styles himself A Presbyter of the Church of England, has been identified with John Pitts or Pits. From the fourth series of Facsimiles of royal, historical, literary and other autographs in the Department of Manuscripts, British Museum: Series I - V, (London, 1899).
