"[1] In Holland he was licensed to preach, and was one of three who officiated in turns to the English presbyterian congregation at Amsterdam.
He always preached without notes, and his memory was so good that he could recall the language of an unwritten sermon fourteen years after its delivery.
On his return to England he was for three years (1704-7) assistant to John Green, an ejected divine, who had formed an independent church at Tunstead, Norfolk.
Coming up to London in 1707, Hunt accepted a call to succeed Richard Wavel, an ejected divine who died on 19 December 1705,[1] as pastor of the Independent congregation at Pinners' Hall, Old Broad Street.
Hunt was accounted 'a rational preacher;' his matter was practical, his method expository, his style easy.
At Barrington's seat, Tofts in Essex, he was in the habit of meeting Anthony Collins On 31 May 1729 he was made D.D.
He had been married with a distant relative of Lardner, who preached his funeral sermon at Pinners' Hall.
