Soon after the acceiTion of George I. Mr. Hoadly was 
nominated one of the chaplains to his majefty, having, be¬ 
fore his admifiion to that office, been created doftor of 
divinity by archbilhop Wake. In'1715, he was appointed 
to the fee of Bangor, with which he was permitted to 
hold his livings in commsndam. During the following year, 
he publilhed A Prefervative againlt the Principles and 
Practices of the Nonjurors, both in Church and State, &c. 
and in 1717, he preached before the king his famous fer- 
mon, on The Nature of the Kingdom or Church of Chrift, 
which excited againlt him no little clamour among the 
clergy of the liigh-chufch party, and gave rife to the ce¬ 
lebrated controverfy which bears this prelate’s name. One 
of the molt able and important treatifes which the bifliop 
publilhed in the courfe of this -controverfy, appeared in 
17x9, in an Svo. volume, entitled, The common Rights 
of Subjects defended ; rind the Nature of the Sacramental 
Tell conlidered ; in Anfwer to the Dean of Chichelter’s 
(Dr. Sherlock’s) Vindication of the Corporation and Teft 
Ai 5 ts. 
The Bangorian controverfy was hardly brought to a 
conclufion, when Dr. Hoadly, in 1721, was tranllated 
from the fee of Bangor to that of Hereford : and in 1723, 
his lordfhip was tranllated to the fee of Salilbury ; upon 
which he religned his rectory of Streatham. In 1724, he 
publilhed A Charge to the clergy of his diocefe, delivered 
at his primary vifitation. He likewile continued to em¬ 
ploy his pen in the caufe of that liberty which he loved, 
and for which he had been fo ftrenuous and triumphant 
an advocate. In 1732, his lordfhip drew up An Account 
of the Life, Writings, and Character, of Dr. Samuel 
Clarke ; which was prefixed to the pofthumous works 
of that eminent divine, then Hr ft publilhed, and is a lad¬ 
ing monument to the memory of his illuftrious friend. In 
17 34, he was advanced to the valuable fee of Winchefter; 
and in the following year he publilhed his truly rational 
and ufeful treatife, entitled, A plain Account of the Na¬ 
ture and End of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper; in 
which, all the Texts of the New Teltament relating to it, 
are produced and explained ; and the whole Doctrine about 
it is drawn from them alone. A judicious abridgment of 
this piece, under the title of, The rational Chriftian’s Af- 
fiftant to the worthy Receiving of the Lord’s Supper, was 
publilhed by Dr. Difney, in 1774. 
In 1754, bilhop Hoadly publilhed a volume of his dif- 
courfes, entitled, Sixteen Sermons formerly printed, now 
collected into one Volume, &c. and in the following year 
he publilhed, Twenty Sermons, the firft Nine of them 
preached before the King in Lent, &c. The remainder 
of his days were fpent in the enjoyment of thofe tranquil 
pleafures which naturally 1-pring from the recollection of 
a well-fpent and ufeful life. He died at his palace at 
Chellea, in 1761, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. Dr. 
Hoadly was diltinguilhed by confiderable learning, and 
uncommon talents, which he confecrated, in the molt ho¬ 
nourable manner, to the fervice of mankind. By his 
feizing every proper opportunity to defend the caufe of 
truth, virtue, and religion in general, and of our happy 
conliitution in particular, in whatfoever quarter attacked ; 
by his afierting and- vindicating, on the molt interefting 
occafions, and againlt the greateft names (and that at once 
with the temper of a Chriltian, and the good manners of 
a gen; 1 ’ .an), the rights of the throne and thofe of Eng- 
lifhmen, he added’to the name of fcholar thofe far fupe- 
rior, of a good man, a good fubjeft, and a true lover of 
his country. In 1773, his fon, Dr. John Hoadly, pub¬ 
lilhed a complete edition of his father’s works, in three 
volumes, folio. 
The good name and charafter of this truly pious and 
liberal-minded prelate, after repofing for many years in 
peace, have been lately raked up, in no very handfome 
manner, by the author of the Civil and Ecclefiaftical Hif- 
iory of Winchefter, It is evident that Mr. Milner does 
H O A 
not admire the meritorious fervices of Dr. Hoadly, whofe 
name and memory will be ever dear to the true friends of 
the Britifh conliitution, and to the caufe of civil and re¬ 
ligious liberty. The bifhop’s illation. Dr. Hoadly Alhe, 
has ably refuted the foul calumny intended. He clearly 
proves that Mr. M. has committed miftakes in his account 
of the bilhop ; and that his remarks are dallied with an 
acrimonious and illiberal tinfture. The reflections on bi- 
Ihop Hoadiy’s monument in Winchefter cathedra], were 
manifeftly deligned to ftain his memory ; and though,- per¬ 
haps, all that Dr. Alhe has advanced, will not induce 
this Roman catholic writer to retraft them, he 'may ne- 
verthelefs thank Dr. Alhe for correcting the errors into 
which he appears to have fallen refpeCting the bilhop, and 
may reCtify them in a future edition of his work. It is 
ever to be lamented when liiftorians write under the in¬ 
fluence of ftrong prejudices ; for, though they may gratify 
tranfient illiberality, they are lure to dilgult impartial pol- 
terity.

ceding, born in 1706 ; and ftudied at Bennet College, Cam¬ 
bridge, under the tuition of Dr. Herring, afterwards arch¬ 
bilhop of Canterbury. He took his degree in piiyfic ; and, 
particularly applying himfeif to mathematical and philo- 
ibphical Itudies, was, when very young, admitted a mem¬ 
ber of the Royal Society. He was made regifter of Here¬ 
ford while his father filled that fee, and was early ap¬ 
pointed phyfician to his majeity’s houfehold, but died at 
his houfe in Cheifea in 1757. He wrote, 1. Three Let¬ 
ters on the Organs of Refpiration, 4to. 2. The Sulpici-

EleCtrical Experiments; and, 4. Oratio Anniverfaria, in
