	In 1857 he was married, and accepted the college living of [[St Ippolyts]], near [[Hitchin]], in [[Hertfordshire]], where he remained for fifteen years. During his time there he took part in discussions on university reform, continued his studies, and wrote essays for various periodicals. In 1870 he was appointed a member of the committee for revising the translation of the [[New Testament]], and in 1871 he delivered the Hulsean lectures before the university. Their title was ''The Way, the Truth, and the Life'', but they were not prepared for publication until many years after their delivery.

==Life==

In 1851 he also took the recently established triposes in moral science and natural science, and in 1852 he became fellow of his college. In 1854, in conjunction with [[John Eyton Bickersteth Mayor|J. E.

He had been brought up in the strictest principles of the Evangelical school, but at Rugby he fell under the influence of [[Thomas Arnold]] and [[Archibald Campbell Tait]], and his acquaintance with [[John Frederick Denison Maurice]] and [[Charles Kingsley]] finally gave his opinions a direction towards [[Liberalism]].

In 1857 he was married, and accepted the college living of [[St Ippolyts]], near [[Hitchin]], in [[Hertfordshire]], where he remained for fifteen years. During his time there he took part in discussions on university reform, continued his studies, and wrote essays for various periodicals. In 1870 he was appointed a member of the committee for revising the translation of the [[New Testament]], and in 1871 he delivered the Hulsean lectures before the university.

In 1872 he accepted a fellowship and lectureship at [[Emmanuel College, Cambridge]]; in 1878 he was made Hulsean professor of divinity, and in 1887 [[Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity]].

Hort died on [[30 November]] [[1892]], worn out by intense mental labour. He is buried in Petersfield Cemetery, Cambridge.
