l and sacrifices in the cause of religious truth he eulogizes in such terms of glowing and affectionate reverence as drew commendation from many of those whose prejudices had accustomed them to consider him in any other character than that which, in reality, eminently belonged to him. The Scripture Account of Prayer was prepared for the press by Dr. Taylor in the spring of 1761, (his prefatory remarks being dated 25th February,) but was not published by him. Early in the morning of the 5th of March in that year, while asleep in his bed, it pleased God to remove him to a better world. 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, w

s hasty, confused letter. You may by it, at least, see I am most willing to revive and improve our old love and acquaintance. Pray, sir, let me hear from you, as soon as your business will permit; and you shall find me always ready, according to my leisure, to deal with you in this epistolary traffic. May All-sufficiency bless, protect, guide, guard, and prosper you in spirituals and temporals, is the hearty prayer of, Your affectionate, John Taylor. Kirkstead, April 29th, 1724. In 1733, a larger sphere of usefulness, and the opportunity of making his talents honourably known to the world, were afforded Mr. Taylor by his removal to Norwich. Here he found a congregation much more suited to his tastes; and already actuated by a liberality of views and feelings, which disposed them to leave him unshackled by any confessions or subscriptions to human creeds, and not only free to pursue the unbiassed suggestions of his own understanding, in his search after religious truth, but

and, in order to perfect his choir in so delightful a part of their devotional duty, he constantly devoted one evening in the week to their instruction. We have before noticed his Scripture Catechism, out of which he regularly examined his young auditors, and impressed upon their minds the importance of attention to the sacred duties of religion. See in various points of his history a Sketch of the Life of the late Dr. J. Taylor, of Norwich, from the Universal Theological Magazine for July 1804, afterwards enlarged and printed in a distinct form by Messrs. R. and A. Taylor. In 1751 appeared a very learned and valuable treatise, entitled, The Scripture Doctrine of Atonement examined, first in relation to the Jewish Sacrifices, and then to the Sacrifice of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In this work the author first inquires into the original meaning, design, and efficacy of sacrifices, which he shews to be, in all respects, the same as that of prayer and praise, o

hat his salary is very small, only twenty-five pounds per annum. Though the balance of the account would seem to be clearly in favour of Pudsey, Mr. Taylor remained patiently for nearly seven years longer in this remote and obscure situation, storing his mind with the treasures of biblical learning, and helping out his narrow income, in some degree, by keeping a small school. Some reference to his engagement in this way occurs in the following letter See Universal Theological Magazine, Sept. 1804. Mr. Johnson was a native of Kirkstead, in humble life, and, in town, joined the congregation of Mr. J. Palmer, of Hackney., which, on other accounts, is worth preserving as a curious indication of the views he entertained at that period on various topics, which were then deeply agitating the dissenting body; and also as exhibiting the obscure and straitened condition of one who afterwards forced his way, by his natural talents and by indefatigable industry, to considerable distinction.

publication was a prefatory discourse to a statement of the case of Mr. Joseph Rawson. This gentleman was excluded from communion with a congregational church at Nottingham, for refusing, after suspicions were entertained of his heterodoxy, to answer in other than scriptural language the following question put to him by the minister, Whether Jesus Christ is the one true supreme God, the same with the Father in Nature, and equal with him in all divine perfections. The publication appeared in 1737, without our author's name; and contains the most just and manly sentiments on the Common Rights of Christians. It gives a brief sketch of the rise and progress of those corruptions which led to the growth and establishment of Popery, which he well describes as consisting not merely in the political and ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop of Rome, but in the assertion and exercise of the pretension, wherever vested, of lording it over the consciences of others; of making inquisition into

ue 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. Reader, expect no eulogium from this stone; enquire among the friends of Learning, Liberty, and Truth. These will do him Justice. 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 classic inscription from the gifted pen of Dr. Parr, who was an ardent admirer of his talents and virtues. Dr. Taylor left one surviving son, Mr. Richard Taylor, of Norwich, and a daughter, married to Mr. John Rigby, of Chowbent. From those two stocks have proceeded very widely extending branches. Before his death he had seen grandchildren On the birth of the first was wr
