 | | Goodman, Bishop of Gloucester in the reign of Charles the First, lies under the odium of having conformed to the Church of Rome; and certain it is, he had a difference with Archbishop Laud, at the celebrated Convocation of 1640. |
 | | Bishop Goodman was nephew of Dr. Gabriel Goodman, forty years Dean of Westminster, and one of the translators of the English Bible. |
 | | We wish, however, Goodman had as clear views about the odiousness of seeking, as of misusing, the preferments of the Church, whereas, in common with a number of his brethren of the day, perhaps of other days too, he avows a desire of promotion, which little savors of the Christian spirit in primitive times. |
