which, through a tradlate (entitled A Discourse Concerning
Episcopacy) appended to it, caused him to be tried for libel
upon the Puritan ministry and sentenced by the Courts. He
visited England no less than three times to obtain ordination,
but, owing to the misrepresentations of his enemies, failed in
his object until 1739, when, already in his sixtieth year, he
was ordained by the Bishop of Exeter. From that date until
his death in 1754 Mr. Checkley was settled in Providence, as
reftor of S. John's Church. He was a noted controversialist
and possessed great skill in the Indian language in use in
Rhode Island and enjoyed a lengthened acquaintance with
the natives themselves.
A biographical sketch of Checkley has lately been prepared by
the Rev. Edmund F. Slafter, D. D., Registrar of the Diocese
of Massachusetts, and issued as a volume of the Prince Society's Publications. It is entitled: — John Checkley; or the Evolution of Religious Tolerance in Massachusetts Bay. Including
Mr. Checkley's Controversial Writings; His Letters and Other
Papers; His Presentment on the Charge of a Libel for Publishing a Book; His Speech at His Trial; the Hon. John Read's
Plea in Arrest of Judgment; and a Bibliography of the Great
Controversy on Episcopacy by the Ministers of the Standing Order and the Clergy ofthe Church of England. 1719-1774. With
Historical Illustrations and a Memoir. It is a monument of
painstaking research.
8 "Commissary"
For the regulation and increase of religion in America the
Bishop of London, deriving his authority from an order of
Charles II., appointed as his commissaries, before the close of
the seventeenth century, the Rev. James Blair to Virginia,
about 1690, and the Rev. Dr. Thomas Bray to Maryland, in
1696. See Classified Digest ofthe Records ofthe S. P. G. London, 1895. p. 2. It is on record that Commissary Bray sent a
nucleus of a parochial library to Rhode Island in 1700. While
Doclor MacSparran does not mention the name ofthe commissary having jurisdiction in Rhode Island at the period of this
entry, it was probably Commissary Garden, from whom he notes
the reception of a letter at a later date and who in 1743 opened a
training-school for negro teachers at Charleston, South Carolina.
