A TORY CONVERT. Swift's mission on behalf of the Irish Church-He is disappointed of the bishopric of Waterford-Writes " Project for the Advancement of Religion"-His interview with Godolphin-Whigs favourable to the Dissenters-Growing alienation of Swift from the Whig leaders-His private life at this time-Writes "Sentiments of a Church of England Man "-His " Argument to Prove the Inconveniences of Abolishing Christianity"-Summary and explanation of Swift's religious views-His dislike of the Dissenters -Final triumph of the Whigs-They refuse Swift any assistance -His departure for Ireland-Stay at Laracor-Incidents thereof -He returns to England on a second mission-Change in the political situation there -Accession of the Tories-The Journal to Stella-Swift's account of his own conduct-Policy of Harley -He wins Swift over to the Tory cause-Swift's motives. Swift had come over to England in the same vessel as the Irish viceroy, Lord Pembroke, with whom he had been very intimate at Dublin Castle. After a visit to his mother at Leicester he proceeded to London, where he arrived, it would seem, towards the end of December, 1707. He found the Whig party stronger than ever. The ministry still contained a small Tory leaven; but the Tory opposition to the Spanish succession war, on the steady prosecution of which the Whigs had staked their reputation, rendered the influence of the former party very weak. Before Swift could enter fully on the question of the Irish first-fruitsr he soon had evidence that, in spite of his relations with Lord Somers, the Whigs laid little value on his support. In January, 1708, the bishopric of Waterford became vacant.
