  lecturer from 1853 to 1857. He died very suddenly 13 Aug. 1868. For some years Goode was editor of the ‘Christian Observer,’ and became the recognised champion of the so-called evangelical party in the Anglican church. He was the author of a large number of tracts, pamphlets, letters, and speeches upon the church-rate question, the Gorham case, and the whole tractarian movement.

His chief works are: 1. ‘Memoir of the Rev. W. Goode, M.A.,’ 2nd edition, 1828, 8vo. 2. ‘The Modern Claims to the Possession of the extraordinary Gifts of the Spirit, stated and examined,’ &c., 2nd edition, 1834, 8vo. 3. ‘A Brief History of Church Rates, proving the Liability of a Parish to them to be a Common-Law Liability,’ &c., 2nd edition, 1838, 8vo. 4. ‘The Divine Rule of Faith and Practice,’ 2 vols. 1842, 8vo, and again revised and enlarged in 3 vols. 1853, 8vo. This is an ‘expansion of Chillingworth's doctrine that the Bible alone is the religion of protestants,’ supported by a systematic collection of church authorities, and is perhaps the most learned exposition of distinctively evangelical theology. 5. ‘Tract XC. historically refuted; or a Reply to a Work by the Rev. F. Oakeley, entituled “The subject of Tract XC. historically examined,”’ 1845, 8vo, 2nd edition, 1866. 6. ‘The Doctrine of the Church of England as to the effects of Baptism in the case of Infants. With an Appendix containing the Baptismal Services of Luther and the Nuremberg and Cologne Liturgies,’ 1849, 8vo; 2nd edition, 1850. 7. ‘A Vindication of the Doctrine of the Church of England on the Validity of the Orders of the Scotch and Foreign Non-Episcopal Churches,’ in three pamphlets, &c., 1852, 8vo. 8. ‘The Nature of Christ's Presence in the Eucharist, or the Doctrine of the Real Presence vindicated in opposition to the fictitious Real Presence asserted by Archdeacon Denison, Mr. (late Archdeacon) Wilberforce, and Dr. Pusey,’ 2 vols., 1856, 8vo. A supplement to this appeared in 1858. 9. ‘Fulfilled Prophecy. A Proof of the Truth of Revealed Religion, being the Warburtonian Lectures for 1854–8,’ 1863, 8vo.

 GOODEN, JAMES (1670–1730), jesuit, born in Denbighshire in 1670, was educated in the college at St. Omer, entered the novitiate at Watten in 1689, and was professed of the four vows 2 Feb. 1706–7. For several years he taught philosophy and mathematics at Liège, and he filled the office of rector of the college of St. Omer from 14 March 1721–1722 till 15 April 1728, when he became superior of the house of probation at Ghent. He died at St. Omer on 11 Oct. 1730.

His works are: 1. ‘Anathemata Poetica serenissimo Walliæ Principi Jacobi regis … filio recens nato sacra, offerebant ad ejusdem Principis pedes prostratæ musæ Audomarenses,’ St. Omer, 1688, 4to (composed by Gooden and G. Killick). 2. ‘Trigonometria plana et sphærica, cum selectis ex astronomia Problematis,’ Liège, 1701, 12mo.

 GOODEN, PETER (d. 1695), controversialist, probably a son of Peter Gooden of New Hall, Pendleton, near Manchester, was educated in the English College at Lisbon, and after being ordained priest was sent back to England upon the mission, in company with Edward Barlow, alias Booth [q. v.] He appears first to have been chaplain to the Middletons at Leighton Hall, near Lancaster. About 1680 he removed to Aldcliffe Hall, the seat of the seven daughters of Robert Dalton, esq. In this mansion Gooden ‘kept a sort of academy or little seminary for educating of youth, who were afterwards sent to popish colleges abroad to be trained as priests.’ After the accession of James II, he was appointed chaplain to the Duke of Berwick's regiment, and during that reign he had frequent conferences with Stillingfleet, William Clagett [q. v.], and other learned divines of the church of England. ‘No man,’ says Dodd, ‘was better qualified to come off with reputation in a personal conference,’ as ‘he was naturally bold and intrepid, had a strong voice, a ready utterance, and generally made choice of such topics as afforded him matter to display his eloquence.’ The revolution of 1688 obliged him to retire to his old abode at Aldcliffe Hall, where he died on 29 Dec. 1695.

He published: 1. ‘The Controversial Letters on the Grand Controversy, concerning the pretended temporal authority of the Popes over the whole earth; and the true Sovereignty of kings within their own respective kingdoms; between two English Gentlemen, the one of the Church of England, and the other of the Church of Rome,’ 2nd edit. 1674, 8vo. This was against Thomas Birch, who was vicar of Preston, Lancashire, from 1682 till his death in 1700. 2. ‘The Sum of the Conference had between two Divines of the Church of England and two Catholic
