With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

The martyrdome of IOHN HOOPER Bishop of Worcester.
About the beginning of the six Articles in the time of King Henry the eighth, being in danger for religion, he went beyond Sea, where he was lovingly entertained at Basil and at Zurick of Master Bullinger his singular friend, where he married his wife, which was a Burgundian; and in the reign of King Edward he repaired home, amongst many other English exiles: who being come to London, used to preach twice, or at least once every Sunday: and at his Sermons the Church would be so full that none could enter further into the doors thereof: he was in tongue eloquent, in Scriptures perfect, in pains indefatigable: after he was called to preach before the King, and soon after made Bishop of Gloucester: in that office he continued two years, and behaved himself so well, that his very enemies, except it were for good doings, and sharp correcting of sin, could find no fault with him: and after that he was made Bishop of Worcester, he sustained ⟨p. 254⟩much vexation about his investing, because he would not wear the Priestly vestures.
