o years of as hard and
unremitting work as ever he did in his life,' I am quite unable to make
out why the years should be limited to two: and certainly the work

[Footnote 81: Dr. Williams printed privately some _Hints to my Counsel
in the Court of Arches_, of which Mrs. Williams has kindly sent me a
copy. He declares that he 'accepts the Articles as they are, and claims
to teach them with fidelity and clearness unsurpassed by living man.' No
one, I think, can doubt his perfect sincerity. The 'hints' probably
suggested some of the quotations and arguments in my brother's defence';
but there is no close coincidence. Dr. Williams cordially expressed his
satisfaction with his counsel's performance.]

intimacy; but the promise was dissolved by his death in 1894.]

[Footnote 96: One of his smartest phrases was occasioned by Mr. Greg
declaring himself to be a Christian. He was such a Christian, said
Fitzjames, as an early disciple who had admired the Sermon on the Mount,
but whose attention had not been called to the miracles, and who had
died before the resurrection.]
