SANDERSON, ROBERT (1587-1663) ,
English
  divine, was born probably at Sheffield,
Yorkshire
 , in September 1587. He was educated at
Rotherham
  grammar school and at Lincoln College,
Oxford
 , took orders in 1611, and was promoted successively
to several benefices. On the recommendation of Laud he was I appointed one of the royal chaplains in 1631, and was a favourite preacher with the king, who made him regius professor of divinity at
Oxford
  in 1642. The Civil War kept him from entering the office till 1646; and in 1648 he was ejected by the
Parliamentary
  visitors. He recovered his position at the Restoration, was
moderator
  at the Savoy Conference, 1661, and was promoted to the bishopric of Lincoln. He died two years
later on the 29th of January 1663.
His most celebrated
work
  is his Cases of
Conscience
 , deliberate
judgments upon points of morality submitted to him. They are distinguished by moral integrity, good sense and learning. His practice as a college lecturer in logic is better evidenced by these " cases " than by his Compendium of Logic, first published in 1618. A complete edition of Sanderson's works (6 vols.) was edited by William Jacobson in 18J4. It includes the
Life
 
by Izaak Walton, revised and enlarged.
