The persons eligible are, Masters of Arts of the University of Cambridge, under forty years of age. The office is only annual, but the same individual may, under certain circumstances, be continued for any successive number of years, not exceeding six. The duty of the Lecturer is, by Mr Hulse's will, to preach and print twenty sermons in each year, ten in April, May, and the former part of June, and ten in September, October, and the former part of November. The subject of the discourses is-to shew the evidence for revealed religion, or to explain some of the most difficult texts or obscure parts of Holy Scripture, or both. The time and place of delivery are to be in Great St Mary's Church, and either on the Friday mornings or the Sunday afternoons of each week in the above-mentioned period; and if the duties be not discharged by the person appointed, his salary is divided amongst the six senior Fellows of St John's college. The Preacher is not afterwards eligible to the office of Christian Advocate. By a decree of the Court of Chancery in 1830, it was ordered that the number of Lectures shall be reduced to eight, and that the time of printing be enlarged for the term of one year from the delivery of the last Lecture. Various circumstances prevented any appointment taking place until the year 1819, when the first election was made, and Lectures have since been delivered and published in the following order: 1841 Henry Alford, M.A. Trinity. 1843 J.
