William Cooper (Puritan)

1653) was an English clergyman of Puritan views, chaplain to Elizabeth of Bohemia, participant in the Savoy Conference, and ejected minister.

[2] He married the daughter of the Dutch painter John Le Maire, who was in favour with William Laud, and so obtained the living of Ringmer in Sussex in 1641.

[5] This was a deal under which she would receive again an English pension, but was required to dismiss Johnson and take on Cooper, who had the approval of the Long Parliament.

After her brother's execution in 1649 there was no further question of her accepting Parliament's nominee, and she appointed William Stamp around 1650, and then George Morley.

He published several sermons, some of them edited by Samuel Annesley in his Morning Exercises at Cripplegate, and he wrote the annotations on the Book of Daniel in Matthew Poole's Commentary.
