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. ADDITIONAL NOTES _The numbers at the beginning of paragraphs refer to the pages_ 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. _Page_ 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.

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). 94. _Judicious Hooker._ This is the f
