sons disturbed his tranquillity, and rendered it necessary for 
him to change the scene, and to remove to London, where 
he exposed himself to considerable danger by officiating in a 
private congregation of loyalists. Invited by Edward lord 
Conway to his seat at Portmore in the county of Antrim, he 
remained in Ireland until the Restoration. On that event he 
came over to England, and in January, 1660-1, his services 
were recompensed by the promotion to the sees of Down and 
Connor. He was also made privy-counsellor of Ireland, 
and appointed to the administration of the bishopric of Dro- 
more, and honoured with the office of vice-chancellor to 
the university of Dublin. Of his works, which were numer¬ 
ous, consisting chiefly of sermons and devotional pieces, and 
printed in four, and also in six volumes, folio, the most re¬ 
markable is entitled, “ Theologia Eclectica, or a Discourse 
on the Liberty of prophesying; shewing the unreasonable, 
ness of prescribing to other men’s faith, and the iniquity of 
persecuting different opinions," 4to. first published in 1647. 
The author, when this book was written, belonged to a van¬ 
quished and persecuted party; and he strongly and boldly 
pleads for liberty of conscience, and the rights of individuals 
to judge for themselves in matters of religion. This work, 
considering the time in which it was written, and the con¬ 
nections of the author, indicates a very enlightened mind 
with regard to the subjects of discussion ; and may be perused 
with no small degree of interest even in the present period of 
greater knowledge and liberality. With respect to toleration, 
however, he limits it to such doctrines as are not inconsistent 
with society or the public good; a limitation which is capa¬ 
ble of being much misconstrued and misapplied. The most 
popular of Taylor’s other writings, have been his “ Golden 
Grove, or Manual of daily Prayers;” his treatise on “ Holy 
Living and Dying;” and his “ Ductor Dubitantium, or Rule 
of Conscience.” Dr. Dodwell long since observed, and not 
unjustly, that “ Dr. Taylor, in his voluminous writings, said 
many lively things, which will not bear a strict examination.”

reprinted in 1769. An abridgment of this learned work, 
entitled “ A Summary of the Roman Law,” was published
