E-text prepared by Leah Moser and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Lives of John Donne, Henry Wotton, Rich'd Hooker, George Herbert, &c, Volume 2" by Izaak Walton is a biographical collection written in the late 17th century. This work presents the lives of several significant literary and religious figures of the time, including John Donne and Richard Hooker, and delves into their contributions to literature, theology, and the Church of England. Walton provides a rich tapestry of their thoughts, virtues, and personal anecdotes, inviting readers to explore the lives and legacies of these influential characters. At the start of this volume, Walton introduces Richard Hooker, emphasizing the difficulty of portraying someone he never met. He reflects on Hooker's early life and education, illustrating his virtuous upbringing and early devotion to learning and faith.

As Walton sets the scene for Hooker’s life, he hints at the immense respect Hooker garnered for his theological writings, especially "The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity", underscoring the book’s exploration of faith and reason in the context of the Church’s governance. The narrative hints at the trials and triumphs that Hooker faced, foreshadowing a deeper examination of his legacy within both ecclesiastical and literary circles.
