A religious writer, born in Staffordshire, England, in 1627, was the wife of Richard Hopton, a Welsh judge. She became at one time a Roman Catholic, but, realizing her mistake, she returned to the Protestant Church. She died in 1709. Her writings are all on religious topics, intended to lead the reader to a devout and holy life. They are Daily Devotions (London 1673, 12mo; 5th ed. 1713) Meditations, etc. (publ. by N. Spinckes, London 1717, 8vo). She also remodeled the Devotions in the ancient Way of Offices (originally by John Austin, who died in 1669), with a preface by Dr. George Hickes (q.v.) (1717, 8vo; new ed. 1846, 8vo). Allibone, Dict. of Authors, 1, 887; Darling, Cyclop. Bibliograph. 1, 1538.
