Robert White (1645-1703) was an English artist and engraver. A Londoner, he was a pupil of David Loggan, and became a leading English portrait engraver of the late 1600s.

Contents:
Dedication to the Honourable George Lord Bishop of Winchester, Preface; The Life of Dr. Robert Sanderson, Late Lord Bishop of Lincoln [unpaginated, c. 200 pages]; Dr. Pierce's Letter. The Bishop of Lincoln's Letter. (46 pages)- unpaginated (Judgment concerning submission to usurpers), [2, title leaf], 47-84 (Pax Ecclesiae), (85-86, title leaf), 87-168 (Judgment in one view for the settlement of the Church), [title leaf], (10), 169-(254) (Reasons of the present judgment of the University of Oxford), (title leaf), 255-76 (A sermon of Richard Hooker found in the study of the late leaned Bishop Andrews). [All the title pages bear the Richard Marriott, 1678, imprint]. There is no errata page after FINIS page.
Robert Sanderson (1587-1663) was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire. and educated at Rotherham grammar school and Lincoln College, Oxford. He was appointed one of the royal chaplains in 1631, and being one of the king's favorite preachers, was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford in 1642, a chair he occupied 1646-48 and 1660-61. He was appointed Bishop of Lincoln in 1661. His book on logic, LOGICAE ARTIS COMPENDIUM (1615) became a popular textbook for many years and was studied by the young Isaac Newton. His sermon "Nine Cases of Conscience Resolved" (1678) placed him at the head of English causits.
Sanderson's logic remained popular even after the appearance of the influential Port-Royal Logic. Sanderson's sermons were also admired; but he is perhaps best remembered for his Nine Cases of Conscience Resolved (1678), in consideration of which he has been placed at the head of English casuists. He left large collections of historical and heraldic matter in MS.
