Thomas See also:Tenison's See also:elevation to the see of See also:Canterbury in 1694 Gibson was appointed See also:chaplain and librarian to the See also:arch-See also:bishop, and in 1703 and 1710 respectively he became See also:rector of See also:Lambeth and See also:archdeacon of See also:Surrey. In the discussions which arose during the reigns of William and See also:Anne relative to the rights and privileges of the See also:Convocation, Gibson took a very active See also:part, and in a See also:series of See also:pamphlets warmly argued for the right of the See also:archbishop to continue or prorogue even the See also:lower See also:house of that See also:assembly. The controversy suggested to him the See also:idea of those researches which resulted in the famous Codex See also:juris ecclesiastici Anglicani, published in two volumes folio in 1713,—a See also:work which discusses more learnedly and comprehensively than any other the legal rights and duties of the English See also:clergy, and the constitution, canons and articles of the English See also:- CHURCH

Church. In 1716 Gibson was presented to the see of See also:Lincoln, whence he was in 1720 translated to that of See also:London, where for twenty-five years he exercised an immense See also:influence, being regularly consulted by See also:Sir See also:Robert See also:Walpole on all ecclesiastical affairs. While a conservative in church politics, and declaredly opposed to See also:methodism, he was no persecutor, and indeed See also:broke with Walpole on the See also:Quakers' See also:Relief See also:Bill of 1736. He exercised a vigilant over-sight over the morals of his See also:diocese; and his fearless denunciation of the licentious masquerades which were popular at See also:court finally lost him the royal favour. Among the See also:literary efforts of his later years the See also:principal were a series of See also:Pastoral Letters in See also:defence of the " See also:gospel See also:revelation," against " lukewarmness
and " See also:enthusiasm," and on various topics of the See also:day; also the Preservative against Popery, in 3 vols. folio (1738), a compilation of numerous controversial writings of eminent See also:Anglican divines, dating chiefly from the See also:period of See also:- JAMES

A second edition of the Codex juris, " revised and improved, with large additions by the author," was published at Oxford in 1761. Besides the See also:works already mentioned, Gibson published a number of Sermons, and other works of a religious and devotional See also:kind. The Vita Thomae Bodleii with the Historia Bibliothecae Bodleianae in the Catalogi librorum manuscriptorum (Oxford, 1697), and the Reliquiae Spelmannianae (Oxford, 1698), are also from his See also:pen.
