? If this is the Jeremiah you are researching, this is from

The Berkshire Chronicle, Saturday, March 23 1867 - it's a long article....

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD AND THE LAY DECLARATION

8 Russell-terrace, Reading 22 March 1867
====

From the long list of alphabetical names.... is

Jeremiah Hooper YORK, 6 Horn Street.

Just quote this part'

My Lord, - We, the undersigned laymen, being communicants of the Church of England in Reading, beg to express to your lordship our great regret at the address which you have received from 'two hundred male communicants' of this town.  It is in justice to ourselves that we feel called upon to disavow the sentiments conveyed in the document to which we refer.
