  William Warburton - LoveToKnow 1911
WILLIAM WARBURTON (1698-1779), English critic and divine, bishop of Gloucester, was born at Newark on the 24th of December 1698.
Warburton was undoubtedly a great man, but his intellect, marred by wilfulness and the passion for paradox, effected no result in any degree adequate to its power.
Warburton's works were edited (7 vols., 1788) by Bishop Hurd with a biographical preface, and the correspondence between the two friends-an important contribution to the literary history of the period-was edited by Dr Parr in 1808.

 June 7th
A much less familiar name to our generation is Warburton than Johnson; but, had any one in the last century predicted such a freak of fame in the blaze of the Bishop's learning and rhetoric, he would certainly have been listened to with incredulity.
Johnson and Warburton were contemporaries; Warburton by eleven years was Johnson's senior, but their lives flowed together for three score and ten, and five years alone divided the death of the great Bishop from the great Doctor.
Warburton, on the other hand, boldly allowing the charge, went on to argue that therein lay an infallible proof of the divine mission of the Hebrew lawgiver, for, unless he had been miraculously assisted, it was impossible that he could have dispensed with the armoury of hopes and terrors supplied by the doctrine of immortality.

In speaking of what he terms "the miraculous interposition of heaven, which defeated Julian’s attempt to rebuild the Jewish temple of Jerusalem," Bishop Warburton says: "Sacrifices constituting the essentials of their [the Jews] worship, their religion could not be said to exist longer than that celebration continued.
But the public hath lately been obliged with the best and fullest account of this whole transaction in Dr. Warburton's Julian, where the evidence for the miracle is set in the strongest light, and all objections are clearly refuted, to the triumph of faith and the confusion of infidelity.

 English Totalitarian Constitutionalism and Manichaean Nationalism
The articulation of the world into a focus on the English children of light and the surrounding darkness enables [William Warburton, later bishop of Gloucester, in a political sermon given on the occasion of the Scotch Rebellion of 1745-1746] to assess the role of England in politics and history.
The political evocation of Warburton holds a peculiar fascination for us because here we can observe in it origins the state of sentiments that later, after having outgrown the remnants of Christian tradition, develops into the totalitarianism of our time.
Warburton elaborates a system of national megalomania that, once it is taken over by the other nations, can only result in the war of all against all that we witness in our time.

Fabricius and De la Bleterie consider the "three times" to include Julian's own attempt to rebuild; yet it is harsh, as Warburton observes, to call a hindrance in rebuilding an actual destruction of the building, though the hindrance was a destruction as far as it went.
Douglas speaks of Warburton's defence of it as "a work written with a solidity of argument which might always have been expected from the author, and with a spirit of candour which his enemies thought him incapable of." These admissions are very strong, considering the authors.

Warburton, originally trained as an attorney in Newark, was a largely self-taught and voracious scholar.
Warburton also instructs Green on how to construct a sermon, on the best English writers to read for style, and continues his advice on essential reading into the authors required for a classical education.

The first theory at which we may glance is that of Bishop Warburton.
Warburton's bold and original idea was to change what was thought a formidable objection to the Jewish religion into a conclusive proof of its supernatural character.
Warburton rests his theory on the two following principles: First, that no religion could, in ordinary circumstances, be established in the world without a reference to future rewards and punishments; and, secondly, that no doctrine as to recompense or retribution hereafter is to be found in the system instituted by Moses.

A strong proponent of this “Test Law” was theologian William Warburton, bishop of Gloucester (1759-79).
During a heated debate in the House of Lords, Warburton’s colleague, the irreligious Earl of Sandwich, complained, “I have heard frequent use of the words ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘heterodoxy’ but I confess myself at a loss to know precisely what they mean.”
Orthodoxy means adherence to the accepted teachings of Christianity— the teachings that have been part of the church since it’s early history.

Sterne’s letter to Garrick was forwarded, it would seem, to Warburton; and the Bishop thanks Garrick for having procured for him “the confutation of an impertinent story the first moment I heard of it.” This, however, can hardly count for much.
If Warburton had really wished Sterne to abstain from caricaturing him, he would be as anxious–and for much the same reasons–to conceal the fact as to suppress the caricature.
The epithet of “irrevocable scoundrel,” which he afterwards applied to Sterne, is of less importance, as proceeding from Warburton, than it would have been had it come from any one not habitually employing Warburton’s peculiar vocabulary; but it at least argues no very cordial feeling on the Bishop’s side.
