  • Jeremy Taylor was a clergyman in the Church of England who achieved fame as an author during The Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. He is sometimes known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetic style of expression and was often presented as a model of prose writing. He is remembered in the Church of England's calendar of saints with a Lesser Festival on 13 August. Taylor was educated at The Perse School, Cambridge before going on to Gonville and Caius College, at Cambridge, where he graduated in 1626. He was under the patronage of William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. He went on to become chaplain in ordinary to King Charles I as a result of Laud's sponsorship. This made him politically suspect when Laud was tried for treason and executed in 1645 by the Puritan Parliament during the English Civil War. After the Parliamentary victory over the King, he was briefly imprisoned several times. Eventually, he was allowed to live quietly in Wales, where he became the private chaplain of the Earl of Carbery. At the Restoration, his political star was on the rise, and he was made Bishop of Down and Connor in Ireland. He also became vice-chancellor of the University of Dublin.
  • Jeremy Taylor, théologien et prédicateur anglican, né à Cambridge. Il fut nommé en 1642 chapelain du roi Charles Ier d'Angleterre, vécut dans la retraite depuis la mort de ce prince jusqu'à la restauration des Stuarts, fut promu par Charles II d'Angleterre à l'êvêché de Down et appelé au conseil privé. On a de lui, outre un grand nombre de livres de controverse : Discours sur la justice et la bonté de Dieu au sujet du péché originel; le Grand modèle de Sainteté, une histoire de la vie et de la mort de J. -C. ; Règles et exercices d'une vie sainte; Doctor dubitanlium, recueil de règles pour les cas de conscience. Ses Œuvres, qui forment 6 volumes in-folio, jouissent au XIX siècle d'une grande autorité en Angleterre, tant pour le style que pour la rigueur de la logique.
