HOADLEY. I. Benjamin, an English prelate, born at Westerham, Nov. 14, 1676, died in Chelsea, April 17, 1761. After leaving Cam- bridge he was lecturer of St. Mildred's and rector of a church in London, and became known by his controversies with Atterbury and the high-church party ; and his " Measure of Obedience," on the doctrine of non-resis- tance, so pleased the commons, that in 1709 they petitioned the queen for his preferment. After the accession of George I. he was made successively bishop of Bangor in 1715, Hereford in 1721, Salisbury in 1723, and Winchester in 1734. In 1717, while bishop of Bangor, he preached his celebrated sermon on the words, " My kingdom is not of this world," asserting the supreme authority of Christ as king in his own kingdom, and that he had not delegated his power, as absent temporal rulers some- times do, to any persons as his vicegerents or deputies. In these positions he was assailed by William Law, and the discussion became so violent in the convocation that the body was prorogued in 1717, and not again permitted to meet for general business. His writings were collected and published by his son John Hoad- ley (3 vols. fol., London, 1773). Akenside has paid a handsome tribute to his memory. II.
