Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOODMAN, GODFREY (15831656) ,
bishop
  of
Gloucester
 , was born at
Ruthin
 , Denbighshire, and educated at Westminster and
Cambridge
 . He took orders in 1603, and in ,6o6 obtained the living of Stapleford Abbots, Essex, which he held together with several other livings. He was
canon
  of Windsor from 1617 and dean of Rochester 162o1621, and became
bishop
  of
Gloucester
  in 1625. From this time his tendencies towards Roman Catholicism constantly got him into trouble. He preached an unsatisfactory sermon at
court
  in 1626, and in 1628 incurred charges of introducing popery at Windsor. In 1633 he secured the see of
Hereford
  by bribery, but Archbishop Laud persuaded the king to refuse his consent. In r638 he was said to be converted to Rome, and two years later he was imprisoned for refusing to sign the new canons denouncing popery and affirming the divine right of kings. He afterwards signed and was released on
bail
 , but next year the bishops who had signed were all imprisoned in the Tower, by order of
parliament
 , on the charge of treason. After eighteen weeks' imprisonment Goodman was allowed to return to his diocese. About 165o he settled in London, where he died a confessed Roman Catholic. His best known book is The Fall of Man (London, 1616).
