Released on bail he resided at Launton, and under the Commonwealth he continued to ordain priests there, using Ralph Bathurst as a deputy.〔Roger Kenneth French, Andrew Wear (editors), ''The Medical Revolution of the Seventeenth Century'' (1989), p. 32.〕〔http://www.ray-jones.org.uk/stories.htm〕 In 1663 he was made bishop of Worcester. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Skinner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
