HOOKER THOMAS, the renowned pastor of the church in Hartford, Connecticut, was born at Marfield, Leicestershire, in 1586, educated at the university of Cambridge, and elected a fellow of Emanuel College. He was, in 1626, a lecturer in Chelmsford, Essex, but not being willing to conform to all the rites of the church of England, he was obliged to lay down the ministry. He afterwards kept school, and had for his usher, John Eliot, who, in America, was afterwards styled the Indian apostle. Finding himself still prosecuted by the spiritual court, in 1630, he went over to Holland. He there became intimately acquainted with the celebrated Dr. Ames, who declared, that although he had been acquainted with many scholars of divers nations, yet he never met with Mr. Hooker's equal for preaching, or for disputing. Dr. Mather says, that Mr. Hooker and Mr. Cotton were the Luther and Melancton of New England: he meant to describe their different genius. It is difficult for us, at this date, to know which was Melancton, or how either resembled him. Mr. Hooker arrived at Boston, Sept. 4, 1633, in the Griffin, gov. Haynes, Mr. Cotton and Mr. Stone being his fellow passengers. In October Mr. H. was ordained pastor of the church in Newtown. In June, 1636, he went with his church above a hundred miles, and settled upon the banks of the river Connecticut. Here he was the chief instrument of beginning another colony. Had this divine been called to the church in Boston, and Mr. Haynes had no rival in gov. Winthrop, it is most probable they would have continued with their people in Massachusetts. He often visited Boston; and whenever he preached, his great fame drew crowded assemblies. This great man died, July 7, 1647. Mr. Cotton said, that he did "Agmen ducere et dominari in concionibus, gratia spiritus sancti et virtute plenis;" and that he was "vir solertis et acerrimi judicii." A very full memoir of Mr. Hooker has been written by the grandson of Mr. Cotton, who calls him the light of the western churches. It makes part of the Magnalia, and is also printed in a separate volume. Many volumes of Mr. Hooker's sermons were printed ; most of them are now out of print. One volume on John xvii. is yet preserved among us, and certain of his polemical writings. His most famous work is the survey of church discipline: the first copy was sent to England in a vessel which was lost. The copy which we now have, wants the finishing hand of the author, but is a work of great merit and research. He was a friend to the consociation of churches. He also gives more authority to the elders than was ever allowed by our fathers of the Massachusetts colony. Eliot: New England Biographical Dictionary, p. 238.⁴
