 Nonjurors
Hickes denied to her "usurping" bishops and their adherents not only sacerdotal powers, but even the benefits of the Incarnation (it was the posthumous publication of his attack on all Jurors that provoked Benjamin Hoadly to reply, and so led to the "Bangorian Controversy" and the long suspension of Convocation).
But Hickes used the Communion Office of 1549, and after his death (1715) a reform movement began, culminating in the compilation, by Collier, T. Brett, and others, of a new Service Book (1718) based on the 1549 Prayer Book, but enriched from primitive liturgies.
Hence the decline of Jacobitism and the accession of George III - resolute for toleration - were epoch-making in Scottish Church as in English political history.

George Hickes, on the other hand, and Henry Dodwell, were scholars first and men of piety afterwards.
Hickes’s style is sharp in controversy; in general literature—concerned, chiefly, with the burning questions of nonconformity and of the oaths—it is coloured by the diversity of his learning; and he shows, like several of his friends among the non-jurors, the influence of the early liturgies in which he was thoroughly at home.
If Hickes was the most learned clerk, Henry Dodwell was the most learned layman, among those who refused the oath to William and Mary.

Hickes is an ancient Anglo-Saxon surname that came from the son of Richard.
Surnames that were formed with filius or son were more common in the north of England and it was here that the number of individuals without surnames was greatest at this time.

Some scholars therefore observe that the lines of Apostolic Succession from +Sancroft and +George Hickes which come down to the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States through +Seabury are not a "valid line of Apostolic succession" because a "historic episcopate" must be maintained and a "schismatic" group hence does not retain that status.
One of the rare introductions of lines from outside the PECUSA after this point came from their bishops who were serving outside of the USA.
+Henry St. George Tucker in 1912 was assigned to Japan and he was consecrated by the PECUSA bishop +John Hines and +Rollestone Fuffe from a C of E line to the Abp of Calcutta and +Arthur Lea from a direct line to an Abp of Canterbury.
