English Bishop Benjamin Hoadly 18th Century Copperplate Engraving

- - -

DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:

“Benjamin Hoadly (1676–1761) was educated at St Catharine's College, Cambridge and ordained a priest in 1700. He became a leader of the low church and found favour with the Whig party. The House of Commons, dominated by Whigs, recommended him to Queen Anne, and he became rector of Streatham in 1710. When George I succeeded to the throne, he became chaplain to the King and made bishop of Bangor in 1716. He took up the See on the confirmation of his election, at St Mary-le-Bow on 17 March 1716. In 1717, his sermon on "The Nature of the Kingdom of Christ" provoked the Bangorian controversy. He was then translated three more times, taking up different bishoprics. He maintained that the eucharist was purely a commemorative act without any divine intervention. During his time as bishop, he rarely visited his dioceses and lived, instead, in London, where he was very active in politics. From later summer 1722 to January 1725 Hoadly published letters on contemporary topics, articulating his Whig principles and defending the Glorious Revolution of 1688” [Wikipedia].

Engraving mounted on paper backing, about 3.75x5.75. Minor soil, light wear.
