In  695  he  again  visited  Rome,  and  on  22nd
November  Sergius  consecrated  him  as  arch-
bishop of  the  Frisians.  Pippin  assigned  him
Utrecht  as  the  place  of  his  see  ;  he  consecrated
bishops,  founded  monasteries,  built  churches,
and  ordained  priests  for  them  with  separate
cures.  In  703  or  704  he  received  a  visit  from
Wilfrid  (q.v. ),  who  had  preached  in  Frisia  be-
fore him.  Pippin's  son  and  successor,  Charles
Martel,  held  him  in  honour,  and  he  bap-
tized Charles's  son  Pippin,  afterwards  King.
When  his  strength  failed  he  consecrated  a
bishop  as  his  coadjutor.  He  died  at  Epter-
nach,  one  of  the  monasteries  he  had  founded,
on  6th  or  7th  November,  probably  in  739.

WILSON,  Daniel  (1778-1858),  fifth  Bishop
of  Calcutta,  eldest  son  of  Stephen  Wilson,  a
prosperous  silk  manufacturer.  He  left  school
at  fourteen  to  enter  an  uncle's  office  in  London,
and  though  trained  in  a  strictly  Evangelical
home  led  a  careless  life  until  1796,  when  he
was  converted.  He  desired  ordination  ;  his
father  refused  consent,  but  finally  gave  way,
and  Wilson  entered  St.  Edmund  Hall,  Oxford
(then  the  Evangelical  centre),  1798.  He
graduated  B.A.,  1802 ;  won  the  English
Essay  (May  1803)  on  Common-Sense,  which
provoked  a  Head  to  say  to  his  Vice-Principal :
'  So  common-sense  has  come  to  Edmund  Hall
at  last.'  '  Yes,'  he  replied, '  but  not  yet  to  the
other  colleges.'  Wilson  was  examined  formally
for  his  M.A.  degree,  1802,  and  took  it,  1804.
