Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORLEY, GEORGE (1597-1684) , English
bishop
 , was born in London and educated at Westminster and
Oxford
 . In 164o he was presented to the sinecure living of Hartfield, Sussex, and in the following year he was made canon of Christ
Church
  and exchanged to the rectory of
Mildenhall
 , Wiltshire. He preached before the Commons in 1642, but his sermon gave offence, and when in 1647 he took a prominent part in resisting the parliamentary visitation of
Oxford
  University he was deprived of his canonry and living. Leaving England he joined the court of Charles II., and became one of the leading clergy at The Hague. Shortly before the Restoration he came to England on a highly successful mission to gain for Charles the support of the Presbyterians. In 166o he regained his canonry, and soon became dean of Christ
Church
 . In the same year he was consecrated
bishop
  of Worcester. At the Savoy conference of 1661 he was
chief
  representative of the bishops. He was translated to the see of Winchester in 1662. His works are few and chiefly polemical, e.g. The Bishop of Worcester's
Letter
  to a friend for Vindication of himself from the Calumnies of Mr Richard
Baxter
  (London, 1662).
