  Rules and advices to the clergy of the diocesse of [blank] for their deportment in their personal and publick capacities. Given by the Bishop at the visitation.

summary:
  6. Think no man considerable upon the point or pretence of a tender Conscience , unless he live a good life , and in all things endeavour to approve himself void of offence both towards God and man : but if he be an humble person , modest & inquiring , apt to learn , and desirous of information ; if he seeks for it in all ways reasonable and pious , and is obedient to Laws , then take care of him ; use him tenderly , perswade him meekly , reprove him gently , and deal mercifully with him , till God shall reveal that also unto him , in which his unavoidable trouble , and his temptation lies . Fear no mans person in the doing of your duty , wisely , and according to the Laws : remembing always that a servant of God can no more be hurt by all the powers of wickedness , than by the noise of a flies wing , or the chirping of a Sparrow .

  A copy of a letter written to a gentlewoman newly seduced to the Church of Rome by the Reverend J.T. D.D. late Bishop of Down and Connor.

summary:
  And then for penances and temporal satisfaction , which might seem to be as a plank after the shipwrack of the duty of Repentance , to keep men in awe , and to preserve them from sinking in an Ocean of Impiety , it comes to just nothing by your doctrine ; for there are so many easie ways of Indulgences and getting Pardons , so many con-fraternities , stations , privileg'd Altars , little Offices , Agnus Dei's , amulets , hallowed devices , swords , roses , hats , Church-yards , and the fountain of these annexed Indulgences the Pope himself , and his power of granting what , and when , and to whom he list that he is a very unfortunate man that needs to smart with penances ; and after all , he may choose to suffer any at all , for he may pay them in Purgatory if he please , and he may come out of Purgatory upon reasonable terms , in case he should think it fit to go thither ; So that all the whole duty of Repentance seems to be destroyed with devices of Men that seek power and gain , and find errour and folly ; insomuch that if I had a mind to live an evil Life , and yet hope for Heaven at last , I would be of your Religion above any in the World. This is the Catholick faith , so saith the Creed of Athanasius ; and unless a company of Men have power to alter the faith of God , whosoever live and die in this faith , are intirely Catholick and Christian.

  A funerall sermon preached at the obsequies of the Right Hon[oura]ble and most vertuous Lady, the Lady Frances, Countesse of Carbery who deceased October the 9th, 1650, at her house Golden-Grove in Carmarthen-shire / by Jer. Taylor ...

summary:
  Childhood is so tender , and yet so unwary ; so soft to all the impressions of chance , and yet so forward to run into them , that God knew there could be no security without the care and vigilance of an Angel-keeper : and the eies of Parents and the armes of Nurses , the provisions of art , and all the effects of Humane love and Providence are not sufficient to keep one child from horrid mischiefs , from strange and early calamities and deaths , unlesse a messenger be sent from heaven to stand sentinell , and watch the very playings and the sleepings , the eatings and the drinkings of the children ; and it is a long time before nature makes them capable of help : for there are many deaths , and very many diseases to which poor babes are exposed ; but they have but very few capacities of physick ; to shew , that infancy is as liable to death as old age , and equally exposed to danger , and equally uncapable of a remedy : with this onely difference , that old age hath diseases incurable by nature , and the diseases of childhood are incurable by art ; and both the states are the next heirs of death . And to this Catalogue of mortality Man is inrolled with a [ Statutum est ] It is appointed for all men once to die , and after death comes judgment ; and if a man can be stronger then nature , or can wrestle with a decree of Heaven , or can escape from a Divine punishment by his own arts , so that neither the power nor the providence of God , nor the laws of nature , nor the bands of eternall predestination can hold him , then he may live beyond the fate and period of flesh , and last longer then a flower :

  A sermon preached at the opening of the Parliament of Ireland, May 8. 1661 before the right honourable the Lords justices, and the Lords spiritual and temporal and the commons / by Jeremy Lord Bishop of Down and Connor.

summary:
  If old men will dispute , let them look to it ; that 's meat for the strong indeed , though it be not very nutritive : but the Laws and the Counsels , the Exhortations and the Doctrines of our Spiritual Rulers , are the measures by which God hath appointed Babes in Christ to become Men , and the weak to become strong ; and they that are not to be received to doubtful disputations , are to be received with the arms of love into the imbraces of a certain and regular Obedience . Thus every man snuffes up the wind , like the wild asses in the wilderness , and thinks that Authority is an incroachment upon a mans birth-right ; and in the mean time never considers that Christ took upon him our Nature that he might learn us Obedience , and in that also make us become like unto God.

I Have read over this book which the Assembly of Divines is pleased to call The Directory for Prayer , I confesse I came to it with much expectation , and was in some measure confident , I should have found it an exact and unblameable modell of Devotion , free from all those objections which men of their owne perswasion had obtruded against the publike Liturgy of the Church of England ; or at least , it should have been composed with so much artifice and finenesse , that it might have beene to all the world , an argument of their learning and excellency of spirit , if not of the goodnesse and integrity of their religion and purposes .

  Christ's yoke an easy yoke, and yet the gate to heaven a strait gate in two excellent sermons, well worthy the serious perusal of the strictest professors / by a learned and reverend divine.

summary:
  THE Holy JESUS came to break from off our necks two great Yokes : the one of sin , by which we were fettered and imprisoned in the condition of Slaves and miserable persons ; the other of Mose's Law , by which we are kept in pupillage and minority , and a state of imperfection , and asserted unto us the glorious Liberty of the Sons of God. But besides , that God hath made his Yoke easie by exterior supports more than ever was in any other Religion , Christianity is of it self , according to humane estimate , a Religion more easie , and desirable by our natural and reasonable appetites , than Sin in the midst of all its pleasures , and imaginary felicities .

  A sermon preached at the funerall of that worthy knight Sr. George Dalston of Dalston in Cumberland, September 28. 1657. By J.T. D.D.

summary:
  But to us Christians {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} ( as Platoes expression is ) we have a necessity to declare and a demonstration to prove it , when we read that Abel died by the hands of Cain , who was so ignorant , that though he had malice and strength , yet he had scarce art enough to kill him ; when we read that Iohn the Baptist , Christ himselfe and his Apostles and his whole army of martyrs died under the violence of evil men ; when vertue made good men poor , and free speaking of brave truths made the wise to lose their liberty ; when an excellent life hastened an opprobrious death , and the obeying God destroyed our selves ; it was but time to look about for another state of things where justice should rule and vertue finde her own portion : where the men that were like to God in mercy and justice should also partake of his felicity : and therefore men cast out every line , and turned every stone , and tried every argument , and sometimes proved it well , and when they did not , yet they believed strongly , and they were sure of the thing even when they were not sure of the argument . And true it is , that although God was pleased in all times to communicate to mankind notices of the other world sufficient to encourage vertues , and to contest against the rencontres of the world , yet he was ever sparing in telling the secrets of it ; and when St. Paul had his rapture into Heaven , he saw fine things and heard strange words , but they were {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , words that he could not speak , and secrets that he could not understand , and secrets that he could not communicate .

  A sermon preached in Saint Maries Church in Oxford. Vpon the anniversary of the Gunpowder-Treason. By Ieremy Taylor, fellow of Allsoules Colledge in Oxford

summary:
  For since all know that your Grace thinks not your life your owne , but when it spends it selfe in the service of your King , opposing your great endeavours against the zelots of both sides who labour the disturbance of the Church and State , I could not think it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to present to your Grace this short discovery of the Kings enemies , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , and proper to your Grace who is so true , so zealous a lover of your Prince and Country .

  A discourse of the nature, offices, and measures of friendship with rules of conducting it / written in answer to a letter from the most ingenious and vertuous M.K.P. by J.T.

summary:
  But to consult with a friend in the matters of friendship is like consulting with a spiritual person in Religion ; they who understand the secrets of Religion , or the interior beauties of friendship are the fittest to give answers in all inquiries concerning the respective subjects ; because reason and experience are on the side of interest ; and that which in friendship is most pleasing , and most useful is also most reasonable and most true ; and a friends fairest interest is the best measure of the conducting friendships : and therefore you who are so eminent in friendships could also have given the best answer to your own inquiries , and you could have trusted your own reason , because it is not only greatly instructed by the direct notices of things , but also by great experience in the matter of which you now inquire . Christian Charity is friendship to all the world ; and when friendships were the noblest things in the world , charity was little , like the sunne drawn in at a chinke , or his beames drawn into the Centre of a burning-glass ; but Christian charity is friendship , expanded like the face of the sunne when it mounts above the Eastern hills : and I was strangely pleas'd when I saw something of this in Cicero ; for I have been so push'd at by herds and flocks of people that follow any body that whistles to them , or drives them to pasture , that I am grown afraid of any truth that seems chargeable with singularity : but therefore I say , glad I was when I saw Laelius in Cicero discourse thus .

summary:
  But that this Rite of admitting into mysteries , and institutions , and offices of Religion by Baptisms , was used by the posterity of Noah , or at least very early among the Jews , besides the testimonies of their own Doctors , I am the rather induced to believe , because the Heathen had the same Rite in many places and in several Religions : so they initiated disciples into the secrets of a Mithra ; and the Priests of Cotyttus were called b Baptae , because by Baptism they were admitted into the Religion ; and they c thought Murther , Incest , Rapes , and the worst of Crimes , were purged by dipping in the Sea , or fresh Springs ; and a Proselyte is called in Arrianus , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , intinctus , a baptized person . 1.

  Deus justificatus. Two discourses of original sin contained in two letters to persons of honour, wherein the question is rightly stated, several objections answered, and the truth further cleared and proved by many arguments newly added or explain'd. By Jer. Taylor D.D.

summary:
  7. in which ye also walked sometimes when ye lived in them , such a concupiscence as that which is the effect of habitual sins or an estate of sins , of which the Apostle speaks , Rom. 7. 8. Sin taking occasion by the commandement wrought in me all manner of concupiscence ; that is , so great a state of evil , such strong inclinations and desires to sin , that I grew as captive under it ; it introduced a necessity like those in S. Peter , who had eyes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 full of an Adulteress : the women had possessed their eyes , and therefore they were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 they could not cease from sin : because having 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 all concupiscence , that is the very spirit of sinful desires , they could relish nothing but the productions of sin , they could fancy nothing but Colloquintida and Toad-stools of the earth . The sum of all is this ; by the disobedience of one man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 many were constituted or put into the order of sinners they were made such by Gods appointment , that is , not that God could be the Author of a sin to any , but that he appointed the evill which is the consequent of sin , to be upon their heads who descended from the sinner : & so it shall be on the other side ; for by the obedience of one , even of Christ , many shall be made , or constituted righteous .

summary:
  He reconciled us to God by his Death led us to God , drew us to himself , redeemed us from all iniquity , purchased us for his Father , and for ever made us his servants and redeemed ones , that we being dead unto sin , might live unto God. 8. In your dressing , let there be ejaculations fitted to the several actions of dressing : as at washing your hands and face , pray God to cleanse your Soul from sin ; in putting on your cloaths , pray him to cloth your Soul with the righteousness of your Saviour and so in all the rest .

  B. Taylor's Opuscula the measures of friendship : with additional tracts : to which is now added his moral demonstration proving that the religion of Jesus Christ is from God : never before printed in this volume.

summary:
  But to consult with a friend in the matters of friendship is like consulting with a spiritual person in Religion ; they who understand the secrets of Religion , or the interior beauties of friendship are the fittest to give answers in all inquiries concerning the respective subjects ; because reason and experience are on the side of interest ; and that which in friendship is most pleasing and most useful , is also most reasonable and most true ; and a friends fairest interest is the best measure of the conducting friendships : and therefore you who are so eminent in friendships could also have given the best answer to your own inquiries , and you could have trusted your own reason , because it is not only greatly instructed by the direct notices of things , but also by great experience in the matter of which you now inquire . Christian Charity is Friendship to all the world ; and when Friendships were the noblest things in the world , Charity was little , like the Sun drawn in at a chink , or his beams drawn into the centre of a Burning-Glass ; but Christian charity is Friendship , expanded like the face of the Sun when it mounts above the Eastern hills : and I was strangely pleas'd when I saw something of this in CICERO ; for I have been so push'd at by herds and flocks of People that follow any body that whistles to them , or drives them to pasture , that I am grown afraid of any Truth that seems chargeable with singularity : but therefore I say , glad I was when I saw Laelius in Cicero discourse thus : Amicitia ex infinitate generis humani quam conciliavit ipsa natura , contracta res est , & adducta in angustum ; ut omnis charitas , aut inter duos , aut inter paucos jungeretur .

  A discourse of artificial beauty, in point of conscience between two ladies with some satyrical censures on the vulgar errors of these times.

summary:
  Youth , Riches , Honour , Beauty , Strength , Policy and Eloquence might be all arraigned and condemned before such unjust and unjudicious Judges , who would cry down all use of things because of some abuses , which flow not from the nature of the things abused , which are good , but from the malice of the persons or minds abusing that native good which God diffused to every creature . It is a great part of calm and sober wisdome to resolve all things into their rational and pure principles , of which this is one , That whatever is in nature , is good in its kind ; That the goodness of all things in nature is reducible to a good end in Reason and Religion ; That no person is abridged in a right and holy use of things by anothers abuse of them ; That the just use of things may be restrained , though the abuse cals for reformation , and the excess for moderation ; That since God doth not annihilate what he hath made ( as all ) good in nature because of mans abuse of things , no more have we any cause to annul or deny our sober use of any thing for others petulancy and abuse : What things vice or vanity are most prone to usurp , as to the most sweet , fair and inviting delights of life , no doubt vertue and modesty may lawfully challenge , and vindicate to their propriety .

  Clerus Domini, or, A discourse of the divine institution, necessity, sacredness, and separation of the office ministerial together with the nature and manner of its power and operation : written by the special command of King Charles the First / by Jer. Taylor.

summary:
  We know , who sacrific'd a Hecatomb for one Mathematical Demonstration ; and another that upon the like occasion cry'd out , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , in a kind of Rapture . In execution of this power and pursuance of this commission , for which the power was given ; the Apostles went forth , and all they upon whom this signature passed , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , executed this power in appropriation and distinct ministery : it was the sword of their proper ministery ; and S. Paul does almost exhibite his Commission and reads the words , when he puts it in execution , and does highly verifie the parts and the consequence of this argument ; God hath reconciled us to himself by Christ Iesus , and hath given to us the ministery of reconciliation ; and it follows , now then we are Embassadors for Christ.

THe Roman Doctrine of Indulgences was the first occasion of the great Change and Reformation of the Western Churches , begun by the Preachings of Martin Luther and others ; and besides that it grew to that intolerable abuse , that it became a shame to it self , and a reproach to Christendome , it was also so very an Innovation , that their great Antoninus confesses , that concerning them we have nothing expresly , either in the Scriptures , or in the sayings of the Ancient Doctors : and the same is affirmed by Sylvester Pri●rias .

  A dissuasive from popery to the people of England and Ireland together with II. additional letters to persons changed in their religion ... / by Jeremy Lord Bishop of Down.

summary:
  But even the better sort of them do believe , or else they do worse , for they urge and cite the Dialogues of S. Gregory , the Oration of S. John Damascen de Defunctis , the Sermons of Saint Augustine upon the Feast of the Commemoration of All-souls ( which nevertheless was instituted after S. Augustin's death ) and divers other citations , which the Greeks in their Apology call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , The Holds and the Castles , the corruptions and insinuations of Heretical persons . [ When we are gone from hence , there is no place left for repentance , and no effect of satisfaction . ] S. Dionysius calls the extremity of death , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The end of all our agonies , and affirms , That the Holy men of God rest in joy , and in never failing hopes , and are come to the end of their holy combates S. Justin Martyr affirms , That when the soul is departed from the body , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , presently there is a separation made of the just and unjust : The unjust are by Angels born into places which they have deserv'd ; but the souls of the just into Paradise , where they have the conversation of Angels and Archangels . S. Ambrose * saith , that Death is a haven of rest , and makes not our condition worse , but according as it finds every man , so it reserves him to the judgment that is to come .
