		Bishop Goodman was nephew of Dr. Gabriel Goodman, forty years Dean of Westminster, and one of the translators of the English Bible.

	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		It was abundantly clear to Bishop Hooper, even before his diocesan visitation, and to other English clerics and statesmen engaged in laying the foundations of Protestantism, that reform of the parochial clergy was more than a familiar religious ideal it was a matter of necessity.

	John HOOPER (Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester)
		He is said to have then entered the Cistercian monastery at Gloucester but in 1538 a John Hooper appears among the names of the Black Friars at Gloucester and also among the White Friars at Bristol who surrendered their houses to Henry VIII.
		This led to a prolonged controversy; Hooper had already denounced the "Aaronic vestments" and the oath by the saints, prescribed in the new Ordinal; and he refused to be consecrated according to its rites.
		While he expressed dissatisfaction with some of Calvin's earlier writings, he approved of the Consensus Tigurinus negotiated in I 549 between the Zwinglians and Calvinists of Switzerland; and it was this form of religion that he laboured to spread in England against the wishes of Cranmer, Ridley, Bucer, Peter Martyr and other more conservative theologians.

	John Hooper
		Some might say that Edward the Sixth's Bishop of Gloucester was too Calvinistic; but he was not more so than the Thirty-Nine Articles.
		Hooper was a far-sighted man, and saw the danger of leaving nest-eggs for Romanism in the Church of England.
		On his arrival there, he was received with every sign of sorrow and respect by a vast multitude, who went out on the Cirencester Road to meet him, and was lodged for the night in the house of a Mr Ingram, which is still standing, and probably not much altered.

	Memoirs of John Hooper
		It was customary, at this time, for the bishops of England to wear the same, or similar garments, to those worn by the Romish clergy:—a chymere, and under it a white rochet, then a mathematical cap with four angles, representing the world divided into four equal parts.
		Thus Hooper was at last consecrated bishop of Gloucester; from which time forward he neglected the use of no means, within his reach, to train up his flock in the fear of God, and in the knowledge of the gospel of his grace.
		He was highly pleased that his death had been appointed to take place at Gloucester, that those who heard his doctrines while living, might witness his sealing their veracity with his blood, not doubting but the Lord would enable him to finish his service like a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
