Excerpt from History of the Diocese of Meath, Vol. 2 of 2
As soon as the issue of the battle of the Boyne was known, there was a great sigh of relief from the whole Protestant community of Ireland. After the fight, King William proceeded towards Dublin, and pitched his camp at Finglas. The church clergymen who were left in Dublin immediately formed themselves into a deputation, and waited on the Prince of Orange. They were headed by the Bishop of Meath, who in their name presented an address of welcome and congratulation, at the same time expressing their loyalty to him, and their prayers for his welfare.
On the Sunday following, a Thanksgiving Service was held in Saint Patrick's Cathedral in which the bishop took a prominent part. Another similar service was held in Christ Church shortly after, at which Bishop Dopping preached. Some extracts from his sermon on that occasion have already been given. It will thus be seen that our bishop lost no time in transferring his allegiance to the conqueror.
