THOMAS (1586–1647) , New See also:England theologian, was See also:born, probably on the 7th of See also:July 1586, at Marfield, in the See also:parish of Tilton, See also:County of See also:Leicester, England. He graduated B.A. in 16o8 and M.A. in 1611 at See also:Emmanuel See also:College, See also:Cambridge, the intellectual centre of See also:Puritanism, remained there as a See also:fellow for a few years, and then preached in the parish of See also:Esher in See also:Surrey. About 1626 he became lecturer to the See also:- CHURCH

Hooker was placed under See also:bond and retired to Little Baddow, 4 M. from Chelmsford.

Hooker seems to have been a See also:leader in the formation of that sentiment of discontent with the Massachusetts See also:government which resulted in the See also:founding of See also:Connecticut.

William Hubbard (See also:General See also:History of New England), " after Mr Hooker's coming over it was observed that many of the freemen See also:grew to be very jealous of their liberties." He was a leader of the emigrants who in 1636 founded See also:Hartford, Connecticut. In a See also:sermon before the Connecticut General Court of 1638, he declared that " the choice of public magistrates belongs unto the See also:people by See also:God's own See also:allowance" and that " they who have the See also:power to appoint See also:officers and magistrates, it is in their power, also, to set the See also:bounds and limitations of the power and See also:place unto which they See also:call them." Though this theory was in advance of the See also:age, Hooker had no See also:idea of the separation of church and See also:state--" the See also:privilege of See also:election, which belongs to the people," he said, must be exercised " according to the blessed will and See also:law of God." He also defended the right of magistrates to convene synods, and in the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (1639), which he probably framed, the See also:union of church and state is presupposed. Hooker was pastor of the Hartford church until his See also:death on the 7th of July 1647. He was active in the negotiations which preceded the formation of the New England See also:Confederation in 1643. In the same year he attended the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of Puritan ministers at See also:Boston, whose See also:object was to defend See also:Congregationalism, and he wrote a Survey of the Sumrne of Church Discipline (1648) in See also:justification of the New England church See also:system. His other See also:works See also:deal chiefly with the experimental phases of See also:religion, especially the experience precedent to See also:con-version. In The Smile's Humiliation (1637), he assigns as a test of See also:conversion a willingness of the convert to be damned if that be God's will, thus anticipating the See also:doctrine of See also:Samuel See also:Hopkins in the following See also:century.
