Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHERLOCK, THOMAS (1678-1761) , English divine, the son of William Sherlock (q.v.), was born at London in 1678. He was educated at Eton and at St Catharine's
Hall
 ,
Cambridge
 , and in 1704 succeeded his father as master of the Temple, where he was very popular. In 1714 he became master of his old college at
Cambridge
  and vice-chancellor of the university, whose privileges he defended against Richard Bentley. In 1715 he was appointed dean of Chichester. He took a prominent part in the Bangorian controversy against Benjamin Hoadly, whom he succeeded as bishop of Bangor in 1728; he was afterwards translated to Salisbury in 1734, and to London in 1748. Sherlock was a capable
administrator
 , and cultivated friendly relations with dissenters. In
parliament
  he was of good service to his old schoolfellow Robert Walpole. He published against Anthony Collins's deistic Grounds of the Christian Religion a volume of sermons entitled The Use and
Interest
  of Prophecy in the Several Ages of the World (1725); and in reply to
Thomas
  Woolston's Discourses on the Miracles he wrote a volume entitled The Tryal of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus (1729), which soon ran through fourteen editions. His
Pastoral
 
Letter
  (1750) on " the
late
  earthquakes " had a circulation of many thousands, and four or five volumes of Sermons which he published in his later years (1754-1758) were also at one time highly esteemed. He died in July 1761.
A collected edition of his works, with a memoir, in 5 vols. 8vo, by J. S. Hughes, appeared in 183o.
