Book Description
Excerpt from The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity: Books I. IV Richard hooker was born at Heavitree, now a suburb of Exeter, about the year 1553. His parents were poor, but he had an Uncle John, who was Chamberlain of Exeter, a man fairly well-to-do, who cared about his nephew. The nephew was to have been apprenticed to a trade, but his schoolmaster spoke with enthusiasm of the thoughtful spirit of study that lay hidden in this pupil under a slow manner, of the clear mind in the half-sickly body, and urged that he should have at least a, year of college work for further trial of his worth. Uncle John turned for advice to John Jewel, another Devonshire man, who was then Bishop of Salisbury. Jewel saw the school master, and saw the boy, and saw that the judgment 0f the schoolmaster was right. He helped John Hooker to send his nephew, at the age of fifteen, to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, watched his progress, and became enthusi asric in praise of his quiet piety, and the steadiness with which he made his way good as a scholar. Jewel's praise of the youth to Edwin Sandys, Bishop of London, caused Sandys to send his son to Oxford instead of to Cambridge, which had been his own University, that he might have guidance from Hooker as a companion and tutor. Other pupils also sought him, and regarded him with strong affection. He took his degree of m.a. In 1577, and obtained a Fellowship at his College.
