Thither he removed in October 1757. Of the sacrifice of personalworth and excellence, of the scriptures, and the thankful esteem with which Christians ought to receive and practically improve them.

Dr. Taylor wrote at Warrington, a pamphlet entitled The Scripture Account of Prayer, in an Address to the Dissenters of Lancashire, occasioned by the preparation of a Liturgy, to be introduced into a new place of worship recently established at Liverpool; a proceeding which had excited conser having acquitted herself as a true Christian under a long course of bodily weakness.

In the year 1715, having completed his academical studies, he entered upon the ministerial office at Kirkstead, in Lincolnshire, where he remained for eighteen years, notwithstanding that it seems to have been a situation of great poverty and obscurity, and ill suited, in many respects, to a man of such high and distinguished acquirements as he afterwards proved himself to possess, and which so well fitted him for a more honourable and conspicuous post. His ordination, as a preaching Presbyter, took place on the 11th day of April, 1716, and was conducted by the ministers of Derbyshire. The original instrument of

From the composed posture in which the body was found, it was judged that his departure had been perfectly tranquil. On the second of June, in the same year, his wife followed him, after having acquitted herself as a true Christian under a long course of bodily weakness. They were both interred in the chapel yard at Chowbent, near Bolton, in Lancashire. A plain mural tablet is fixed in the chapel, with the following inscription:— Near to this place rests what was mortal of John Taylor, D. D.

While taking his natural rest, he fell asleep in Jesus Christ, the 5th of March, 1761, aged 66. A tablet has more recently been erected to his memory in the chapel at Norwich, graced with a c

I hope I am in some measure qualified for the work, though important. I have no learning to boast of, yet I trust I have so much as, by the assistance of God, and by diligent application, may capacitate me to be useful, among plain simple people especially.

816, by Messrs. R. and A. Taylor. growing up around him, several of whom have been till very lately, and some of whom are still, in our churches, universally respected and esteemed. Dr. Taylor's eldest grandson, the Rev. Philip Taylor, late of Dublin, was born at Norwich, in 1747. He received his education first under Dr. Harwood, then of Congleton, afterwards in the academies of Exeter and Warrington. In 1767, he was chosen assistant to the Rev. John Brekell, of Benn's Garden, in Liverpool, whom he succeeded as minister of the congregation in 1770. In 1777 he removed to Dublin, as assistant to his father-in-law, the Rev. Dr. Weld, in the pastoral charge of the congregation assembling in Eustace Street, in that city. In this connexion he continued during the remainder of a life protracted to the advanced period of eighty-three years, universally and deservedly respected.

ht to the Established Church. At Kirkstead it clearly appears that the minister was in the habit of marrying. He did so, in some measure, from necessity, there being no church or chapel of the Establishment attached to the district. In fact, Dr. Taylor was himself married there, on the 13th day of August, 1717, to Mrs. Elizabeth Jenkinson, a widow of Boston; and it was from such marriage that the widely-spread line of his descendants sprang. In 1726 he had an invitation to Pudsey, near Leeds, which, on mature deliberation, he declined to accept. In order the better to determine this point, he drew up an accurate statement of the advantages and disadvantages of each side of the question, in which the recommendations of his settlement at Kirkstead are represented in no very attractive light. He complains that he is among a people not only illiterate, but generally sluggish; little addicted to reading, of no ingenuity, and even insensible of their duty to a minister; also that h

VIII., from which we may be allowed to insert the following extracts:—From the high character which he justly bore as a consummate Hebrew scholar, it may be presumed that he would be very careful thoroughly to ground his pupils in the knowledge of this sacred tongue. This appears accordingly to have been the case. From the papers with which the present writer has been favoured by the Rev. Thomas Astley, of Chesterfield, his only surviving pupil in these branches of learning, it is evident that, in addition to the ordinary mode of grammatical instruction, he drew out for them, and caused them to copy and get by heart, a sort of sacred vocabulary, containing copious and elaborate lists of the various Hebrew denominations of persons, things, relations, qualities, &c.; distinguishing the various synonyms, with their different shades of meaning, and often supplying the correspondent Greek terms in the Septua
