HOOPER, George, a very learned writer, bishop of Bath and Wells, was well skilled in mathematics, and in the eastern learning and languages. He sat in those fees above 25 years, often refused a seat in the privy council, and could not be prevailed upon to accept of the bishopric of London on the death of Bishop Compton. He wrote, 1. The church of England free from the imputation of Popery. 2. A discourse concerning Lent. 3. New danger of Presbytery. 4. An enquiry into the state of the ancient measures. 5. De Valentianorum heresi conjecturae. 6. Several sermons; and other works.
