“The greatest evils, are from within us; and from ourselves also we must look for the greatest good.”

Work
This volume forms part of the collected works of Jeremy Taylor, a prominent figure in English religious literature of the 1600s. The central text, "The Rule and Exercises of Holy Living and Dying," represents a significant contribution to Anglican devotional prose, offering guidance on Christian conduct and the proper approach to mortality. Taylor's work addresses practical spirituality, examining how believers might structure their daily lives in accordance with religious principles while also preparing for the inevitability of death. The writings reflect the theological and pastoral concerns of the Caroline era, combining rhetorical elegance with moral instruction. As a whole, the collection preserves Taylor's reputation as a master of English prose style and an influential voice in the tradition of Christian practical divinity. more
