Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early Writings of John Hooper, D. D: Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester Martyr, 1555; Comprising the Declaration of Christ and His Office Answer to Bishop Gardiner; Ten Commandments; Sermons on Jonas; Funeral Sermon John Hooper was born in Somersetshire, about the close of the fifteenth century. His name is usually spelt Hoper, or Houper, by himself and his contemporaries. He studied at Oxford, probably in Merton College, and subsequently embraced the monastic life. After the dissolution of the monasteries, and when the Act of the Six Articles was in force, he withdrew to the continent, where he was kindly received at Zurich by Bullinger. He remained abroad till the accession of King Edward VI. In 1548 he returned to England, and residing in London, preached continually to large congregations, taking also an active part in the proceedings of that period. In May, 1550, ho was nominated to the bishopric of Gloucester, but was not consecrated till the next year. This delay was owing to his objections to an oath by the saints, and to some of the vestments formerly worn by the Romish prelates, and then retained. The former point was conceded; but the dispute respecting the habits went so far, that Hooper was for a short time confined in the Fleet. This matter being at last arranged by his yielding in a great measure to what was required, he entered upon his diocese, to which that of Worcester was afterwards added, and discharged the duties of the episcopal office in a most exemplary manner. On the accession of Queen Mary, Hooper was one of the first who were brought into trouble. Ho was committed to the Fleet in September, 1553, 011 a false allegation of being indebted to the Queen, and was treated with much severity. The particulars are related by himself in one of his letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
