See also:HULSE, See also:JOHN (1708-1790) , See also:English divine, was See also:born—the eldest of a See also:family of nineteen—at See also:Middlewich, in See also:Cheshire, in 1708. Entering St John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, in 1724, he graduated in 1728; and on taking orders (in 1732) was presented to a small See also:country curacy. His See also:father having died in 1753, Hulse succeeded to his estates in Cheshire, where, owing to feeble See also:health, he lived in retirement till his See also:death in See also:December 1790. He bequeathed his estates to Cambridge University for the purpose of maintaining two divinity scholars (£3o a See also:year each) at St John's College, of See also:founding a See also:prize for a dissertation, and of instituting the offices of See also:Christian See also:advocate and of Christian preacher or Hulsean lecturer. By a See also:statute in 186o the Hulsean professorship of divinity was substituted for the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of Christian advocate, and the lectureship was considerably modified. The first course of lectures under the benefaction was delivered in 1820. In 183o the number of See also:annual lectures or sermons was reduced from twenty to eight; after 1861 they were further reduced to a minimum of four. The annual value of the Hulse endowment is between goo and £coo, of which eight-tenths go to the See also:professor of divinity and one-tenth to the prize and lectureship respectively.
