The Preface, written by Dr. Sanderfon, is dated "London, Aug. 10, 1661," and fubfcribed "The unworthy fervant of Jefus Chrift, Ro. LINCOLN."

XIII. “PROPHECIES concerning the RETURN of POPERY," inferted in a book entitled Fair Warning: The fecond Part. London, 1663.' This volume containing alfo feveral extracts from the Writings of Archbishop Whitgift, and Mr. kichard Hooker, was published with a view to oppofe the Sectaries, who were faid to be opening a door at which Popery would certainly enter.

XV. "EПINOMIE, feu EXPLANATIO JURAMENTI," &c. inferted in the Excerpta è Corpore Statutorum Univ. Oxonienfis,' p. 194. It was written to explain the oath of Obligation to obferve the penal Statutes.

See an account of this excellent tract in "Kennet's Regifter," p. 727.

XVII. Mr. Peck, in the 'Defiderata Curiofa,' Vol. II. has inferted "The HISTORY and ANTIQUITIES of the CATHEDRAL CHURCH of the blefsed Virgin St. MARY, at LINCOLN; containing an exact Copy of all the monumental Infcriptions there, in Number 163, as they flood in 1641; most of which was soon after torn up, or otherwise defaced. Collected by ROBERT SANDERSON, S. T. P. afterwards Lord Bishop of that Church, and compared with and corrected, by Sir WILLIAM DUGDALE'S MS. Survey."

Dr. White Kennet, Bishop of Peterborough, had in his posseffion the copies of two letters tranfcribed from the originals that were in the hands of Bishop Barlow. 1. Superfcribed "For Mr. Thomas Barlow, at the Library in Oxon," and fubfcribed "Your very loving friend and fervant, ROBERT Sanderson," dated "Botheby Pagnell, Sept. 28, 1656," importuning Dr. Barlow, "to undertake the managing that dispute in the queftion of great importance upon the ancient landmarks, by Dr. Jeremy Taylor; fo unhappily (and fo unfeasonably too) endeavoured to be removed in the doctrine of original fin." 2. Another letter of Dr. Sanderfon to Dr. Barlow, at Queen's College, dated "Botheby Pagnell, Sept. 17, 1657," exprefsing himfelf, "That Dr. Taylor is fo peremptory and pertinacious of his errors, as not to hearken to the fober advices of his grave, reverend, and learned friends, amidft the distractions of thefe times," &c. See "Kennet's Regifter," p. 633.

The treatise here alluded to is entitled "Unum Necefsarium, or the Doctrine and Practice of Repentance, defcribing the Necefsity and Measures of a ftrict, holy, and a Chriftian Life, and refcued from popular errors. By JER. TAYLOR, D. D." In the fixth chapter of this treatife the author difcufses the fubject of original fin otherwife than it is commonly explained in the Church of England; whofe ninth article affirms, that "the natural propenfity to evil, and the perpetual lufting of the flesh againft the fpirit, deferves the anger of God and damnation." See also another tract inferted in Taylor's Polemical and Moral Difcourfes, under the title of "Deus Juftificatus; or a Vindication of the Glory of the Divine Attributes in the Question of original Sin, in a Letter to a Perfon of Quality."

It is foreign to my purpose to examine this fubject of controverfy. What Dr. Jeremy Taylor has advanced upon the queftion proceeded from the beft motives, according to his own motto,-"Nihil opinionis gratiâ, omnia confcientiæ faciam."

Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Hammond were jointly concerned in a work entitled "A PACIFIC DISCOURSE of GOD's GRACE and DECREES," and published by the latter in 1660, It would be improper not to obferve, 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 honouréd friends who assisted him in that noble work.
