About the Extracts

Sources

All the extracts come from the ten-volume Heber–Eden edition.

Presentation

Each extract is followed by a citation to the Heber–Eden edition, giving volume number and page references.

In the case of ‘Holy Living’ (1650) and ‘Holy Dying’ (1651), the only two works that have appeared in accurate, modern editions, with seventeenth-century spelling by Stanwood, an extra reference, preceded by ‘S’, will be given: this applies to Chapter 2. These, the popular works of Taylor, have also been the most frequently, and often inaccurately, printed, edited and abbreviated over the years.

Selection

With an author like Taylor, who wrote about so many matters, arrangement of material has to be somewhat pragmatic. The four chapters are arranged in themes and sub-themes as follows:

1 The Life of Christ – ‘Great Exemplar’ (1649)

2 Discipleship – ‘Holy Living’ (1650), ‘Holy Dying’ (1651), ‘Doctor Dubitantium’ (1660)

3 Eucharist, Confirmation, Ordination, Liturgy, Preaching – ‘Real Presence’ (1654), ‘Worthy Communicant’ (1660); ‘Episcopacy Asserted’ (1642), ‘Cleris Domini (1651), ‘Rules and Advices’ (1661), ‘Discourse on Confirmation’ (1663), ‘Apology for Liturgy’ (1647), ‘Collection of Offices’ (1658), ‘Enactors’ (1651–55), ‘Supplement’ (1663)

4 Sermons, Friendship, Toleration, Against becoming Roman Catholic, Original Sin: ‘Eniautos’ (1651–55), ‘Supplement to Eniautos’

(1663), ‘Discourse on Friendship’ (1657), ‘Liberty of Prophesying’ 1647), ‘Golden Grove’ (1655), Dissuasive from Popery’ (1664), ‘Two Letters’ (1657), ‘Unum Necessarium’ (1655), ‘Deus Justificatus’ (1656)
