Biography

Of Magdalen Hall Oxford, then chaplain to Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke (one of the senior lay assessors at the Assembly) and rector of Kensington from 1640. Hodges sat on the Assembly's middle bench, contributed to the catechetical work and the chapter on the moral law, and was a moderate Presbyterian closer to Reynolds than to Calamy on the broader settlement question. After the Restoration he conformed in 1662, succeeded Cranford at Christ Church Newgate, and was made Dean of Hereford. Died in 1672. His best-known sermon is Inaccessible Glory (1655), preached at the funeral of Lord Wharton's daughter.
