He was a " Hopkinsian before Hopkins. " But min- gled with all his sternness and strength is a beauty and felicity most unusual to his time, unexampled among his New England associates. In extent of learning probably none of them but John Norton could compare with him. He was a man of whom it was said that " on the Lord's business he could put a king in his pocket. " Mr. Hooker died July 7, 1647, at the age of sixty-one, and it is said on the anniversary of his birth. His mortal part lies mould...ered back to dust just behind this church. His memory is that of one of the best and greatest of men. Upon the death of Mr. Hooker the Church does not seem to have contemplated the possibility of long continuing with- out another minister.
