Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667) was a prominent cleric in the Church of England who gained renown as an author during Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate. Often referred to as the ""Shakespeare of Divines"" for his poetic eloquence, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest prose writers in the English language.
