ROBERT SANDERSON. DR. ROBERT SANDERSON, the late learned Bishop of Lincoln, whose Life I intend to write with all truth and equal plainness, was born the 19th day of September, in the year of our redemption 1587. The place of his birth was Rotherham, in the county of York; a town of good note, and the more for that Thomas Rotheram, sometime Archbishop of that see, was born in it; a man whose great wisdom, and bounty, and sanctity of life, have made it the more memorable; as indeed it ought also to be, for being the birth-place of our Robert Sanderson. And the reader will be of my belief, if this humble relation of his life can hold any proportion with his great piety, his useful learning, and his many other extraordinary endowments. He was the second and youngest son of Robert Sanderson, of Gilthwait Hall, in the said parish and county, Esq., by Elizabeth, one of the daughters of Richard Carr, of Buterthwate Hall, in the parish of Ecclesfield, in the said county of York, Gentleman. This Robert Sanderson, the father, was descended from a numerous, ancient, and honourable family of his own name: for the search of which truth I refer my reader, that inclines to it, to Dr. Thorn |
