of these times," &c.
Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Hammond were jointly concerned in a work
entitled "A PACIFIC DISCOURSE of GOD'S GRACE and DECREES," published
by the latter in 1660.
It would be improper not to observe, that in the Preface to the
Polyglott Bible, printed at London in 1657, Dr. Bryan Walton has
classed Dr. Sanderson among those of his much honoured friends who
assisted him in that noble work.

LIFE OF HOOKER
_Frontispiece._--The portrait here given is from Hooker's monument in
Bishopsbourne Church.
_Text, etc._--_The Life of Mr. Richard Hooker_ was first published
in small _octavo_ in 1665. The second edition was prefixed to the
_Ecclesiastical Polity_ of 1666, _folio_, and again in 1676 and 1682.
It was also included in Walton's collection of 1670. A valuable essay
on Hooker by Dean Church is prefixed to the Clarendon Press edition of
the first book of _Ecclesiastical Polity_, 1876.

3. _at this time of my age._ He says at p. 4 that he was "past the
seventy of his age."
5. _John Hales._ See vol. i. p. 193, note.
7. _He was born, etc._ "Probably in March, 1553-54," says the _Dict.
of Nat. Biography_.
8. _a school-boy._ He was educated at Exeter grammar school.
14. _the Bishop said to him. Cf._ chap. iii. of the _Vicar of
Wakefield_, where this anecdote is referred to. Indeed Hooker is there
alleged to have been the "great ancestor" of George Primrose.
23. _elemented._ See note to vol. i. p. 53.
26. _I cannot learn the pretended cause._ It seems probable that
the views of Hooker and his friends had offended Barfoot, who was a
zealous Puritan.
17. _he entered into Sacred Orders._ About 1581.
30. _her conditions_, personal qualities, manners. Recent
investigations tend to show that honest Izaak's account is prejudiced,
as Hooker in his will makes his "wel-beloved wife" sole executrix and
residuary legatee, and his father-in-law was one of the overseers.
Nevertheless Wood calls her "a clownish, silly woman, and withal a
mere Xanthippe."
58. _The forenoon ... Geneva._ The speaker was Fuller, but the
quotation is not quite textual.
70. _and behold God's blessings. Cf._ p. 33.
71. _corps_, endowment. "When the _corps_ of the profit or benefice
is but one the title can be but one man's" (Hooker, _Ecclesiastical
Polity_, v. lxxx, sec. 11).
