Cambridge , where he became fellow in 1752. He was ordained in 1757, and in 1762 was appointed domestic chaplain to the archbishop of Canterbury. In 1767 he became rector of Lambeth, and took his D.D. degree at Cambridge , preaching on that occasion a sermon which induced John Norris (17341777) to found the Norrisian professor-ship of divinity. About two years later he was appointed chaplain to the king and master of the hospital
Of his published works the Review of the Life and Character of Archbishop Secker (London, 1770), and the Summary of the principal Evidences for the Truth and Divine Origin of the Christian Revelation (London, 'Soo), have passed through numerous editions.End of Article: PORTEUS, BEILBY (1731-18o8) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
