On 21 Dec. 1715 Hoadly was promoted to the bishopric of Bangor, and was consecrated 18 March following ... In 1716 Hoadly endeavoured to justify the favour shown to him by the publication of his famous treatise 'A Preservative against the Principles and Practices of the Nonjurors both in Church and State'. This treatise was occasioned by the publication of some of the papers of the nonjuror, George Hickes. It is a popular work, designed, according to its author, (1) to state the case between the protestant branches of the royal family and the popish; (2) to maintain the right in all civil govermments to preserve themselves against persons in ecclesiastical offices as well as others; (3) to state the case between Jesus Christ and those who, professing to be his followers and ministers, substitute themselves in his place' [DNB]
