John Hoadly (27 September 1678 – 19 July 1746) was an

Anglican divine in the Church of Ireland. He served as Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin (1727 to 1730), as Archbishop of Dublin (1730 to 1742), and as Archbishop of Armagh
from 1742 until his death.

Life

He was born at

High Church party's troubles with Burnet. He was also attacked for his friendship with Thomas Chubb, whose views were considered to be dangerously unorthodox.[2]

In 1717

Sir Robert Walpole in support; and Hoadly was translated to Dublin in January 1730. As archbishop of Dublin, he built the residence of Tallaght at a cost of £2,500.[2]

In October 1742 Hoadly became Archbishop of Armagh on Boulter's death, the

Roman Catholic services. He was for many years a major force in Irish politics.[2]

As Archbishop of Armagh, Hoadly served as

one of the Lord Justices three times between 1742 and 1746.[3]

Hoadly died at Rathfarnham, 19 July 1746, of a fever.[2]

Works

Hoadly's writings consisted of occasional sermons, a pastoral letter on the rebellion of 1745, a defence of Burnet's work on the articles against William Binckes, 1703, and a commentary on Bishop William Beveridge's writings.[2] In the British Library Catalogue (accessed online 19 November 2012) are:

  • 3. An Answer to a Letter from a Citizen of New Sarum being a true account of the affront offer'd the Bishop [G. Burnet] there: and a fresh proof of the mallice and injustice of his enemies. [1710]
