his former friends the Jesuits, and in answer to one of their treatises
entitled, _Mercy and Truth, or Charity maintained by the Roman Catholics_,

captured by the parliamentary forces in 1643. He died the next year. His
double change of faith gave him the full range of the controversial field;

perspicuity of his logic gave great effect to his writings. Tillotson
calls him "the glory of this age and nation."

TAYLOR.--One of the greatest names in the annals of the English Church and
of English literature is that of Jeremy Taylor. He was the son of a
barber, and was born at Cambridge in 1613. A remarkably clever youth, he
was educated at Cambridge, and soon owed his preferment to his talents,
eloquence, and learning. An adherent of the king, he was appointed
chaplain in the royal army, and was several times imprisoned.
