Excerpt from Writings of Dr. John Hooper: Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester, Martyr, 1555 This volume contains the most important of the remains of the venerable Bishop and Martyr, John Hooper. They are w first collected together. The Editors are in possession of two other of his works; the one, a Treatise on The Sacrament of the Altar, against Bishop Gardiner; the other, An Oversight and Deliberation upon the holy Prophet Jonah: but as the Selections already published contain a full declaration of the same arguments, doctrines, and illustrations which would be found in any extracts from those Treatises, it is thought unnecessary to increase the volume dedicated to the writings of Bishop Hooper beyond its present size. The extreme scarcity and manifest value of the Confession of Faith by that eminent Reformer, as contained in this volume, have induced the Conductors also to publish it as a separate pamphlet, in the hope that so valuable a document of the age of the Reformation may obtain a more extended circulation. The following Address is reprinted from the original copy of Bishop Hooper's Exposition of some of the Psalms, to which it is prefixed. Although it was in the first instance appropriated only to one of his writings, it has been thought proper to make it a general introduction to the whole volume.
