He was as such an important C17th figure, even beyond the University of Oxford and Dioceses of Worcester and Winchester, and fundamentally entwined nationally in the heightened political and religious controversies of his time. He was involved in the restoration of the monarch in 1660, as well as in the consequent deliberations regarding a settlement with a view to establishing church unity in the subsequent decades. He was also a man who straddled cultures and political epochs, born at the end of the C16th and living through much of the C17th, thus a life that began in the era of the Gunpowder plot and which ended in the run-up to the so-called Glorious Revolution. This meant that Morley's personal and professional evolution touches on moments of extraordinary tumult and contention, requiring him to develop profound skills of negotiation, compromise, and bridge-building. As such he become a skilled mediator, a diplomat at a time when this was most in demand. 517 $aBishop Morley of Winchester 1598-1684 606 $aBenefactors$vFiction 615 0$aBenefactors 676 $a813.6 700 $aThomson$b Andrew$0829393 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477031603321 996 $aBishop Morley of Winchester 1598-1684$93014659 997 $aUNINA
