T. TAYLOR. 399 1632, aged fifty-five years, and his remains were interred in St. Mary's church, Aldermanbury. He was an inde- fatigable student, an excellent preacher, and eminently useful in his ministry. He enjoyed great comfort in being faithful, and additional comfort in being useful in the Lord's work. The welfare of his people lay near his heart. He was not so much concerned to gather tithes into his barn, as souls to Jesus Christ. He who was a guide to others, did not wander out of the way himself. He preached and practised righteousness. His life was particularly exem- plary, his enemies being judges. His piety, his charity, andhis moderation, were manifest to all.. Mr. Leigh calls him " a solid and judicious divine."+ Fuller, who has classed him among the fellows and learned writers of Christ's college, Cambridge, says, he was exceedingly charitable, most strict in his conversation, a grave divine, a painful preacher, and a profitable writer."4: Wood says, " he was excellent in following and opening an allegory ; and that he was highly esteemed by the London ministers, as well as by the people of his charge." On account of his pro- found knowledge of the scriptures, he was commonly styled, " the illuminated doctor."§ He was, says Dr. " a sound and sensible divine, and a very useful preacher ; one who had penetrating views of the human heart, and of the oracles of God."11 His Worms.-1.
