and conversant in nothing but statutes and reports. The casuist might think his whole time spent in canonists and schoolmen; and the divine, in fathers and councils. The antiquary might tie him down to medals and charters; and the linguist fancy him always poring upon lexicons, or else the several Eastern languages could not be so familiar to him as Latin and Greek. The philosopher found no science out of the reach of his comprehensive genius; nor the masters of polite literature, any graces in the classics which had escaped his observance. Yet in all these several attainments, his surprising excellency was, that the variety of learning did not distract his thoughts, nor the intenseness of study sour the facetiousness of his humour. He so tempered the crabbedness of the mathematics with the politeness of the orator, the legends of the rabbins with the fidelity of the fathers, and the occurrences of modern history with the transactions of antiquity, that he was as delightful in his conversation, and as entertaining in his friendships, as he was profound in his knowledge, and ornamental in his life. "The next posture I am to view Bishop Hooper in, is as a gentleman. And here his accomplishments were so great, as not only to excel those of his own profession, but to be a match for such as had made conversation and ceremony their sole and ultimate study. Little would one have thought that the travels of this great man were confined to a clownish part of the Low Countries, when he knew the manners of the whole world, and had transcribed into his own practice whatever was really valuable in the most polite courts of Europe. "The private course of his life would force any one to confess, that he was far from affecting popularity, or doing any thing for noise and ostentation; but his appearance was so venerable, his conversation so endearing, and his demeanor so uncommon, as to render him the most popular and noted prelate of his order. "But in the midst of these civilities and accomplishments, it is still remarkable, that the gravity of the Bishop kept the ascendant of the gentleman; and that his principles were too stiff to bend to any company. His zeal and integrity were inviolable, and truth was never lost in a crowd of words: his sincerity was no sufferer by his complaisance; nor was the courtier too hard for the Christian. "Such a learned and accomplished person must be acceptable to any diocese; and we have the less reason to wonder at his growing character, if we consider the wise rules and uncommon maxims by which he conducted his life. "Pray God we may always continue in the same posture that he left us, and may have no reason to make that complaint upon the decease of our spiritual father, which Pliny did upon the loss of his friend: 'Amisi vitæ meæ rectorem, amisi ducem, et vereor ne posthac negligentius vivam.' "I know the compass of your paper, or else I could add a thousand things about the intellectual capacities of this great prelate, who, like Moses, had no dimness in his understanding, no abatement of his natural force, and youthful wit, at the uncommon period of almost ninety years. "Heu Pietas! Heu prisca Fides! "As long as religion shall lift up her head, and learning retain a sense of gratitude, the memory of this great and good man shall be blessed, and nothing shall be able to hate him, but vice; nothing to traduce his character, but envy; and nothing to insult his ashes, but faction."
