杰里米·泰勒长期以来被认为是巴洛克式英语散文的最高大师，他作为一个神学家，特别是作为一个宗教自由的捍卫者的地位，很少被讨论。他作为一个散文文体家的声誉取决于他的论文神圣的生活和神圣的死亡，以及他的布道。他的神学和他的政治是载于自由的预言（1647年），工作很少读到今天。在这部作品中，泰勒主张一种自由主义神学，这将给持不同意见的传教士以广泛的自由，他解决了困扰英国直到1660年的问题：谁在教会里？他的回答是：几乎所有人。泰勒的自由主义，以及它所允许的宗教宽容，是建立在一种从修辞中得出的理性思想之上的。世纪对理性概念的研究普遍忽视了修辞学的影响。罗伯特·胡普斯（Robert Hoopes）对17世纪英国的正确理性的研究并不关注修辞。Hoopes对TLP的讨论集中在科学、柏拉图主义和哲学怀疑论的形成影响上。芭芭拉夏皮罗表明，在17世纪后期的英国，概率和确定性是如何被定义为反对修辞的：这些术语的含义来自
W HILE Jeremy Taylor has long been regarded as the supreme master of baroque English prose, his status as a theologian, and especially as a defender of religious liberty, has rarely been discussed. His reputation as a prose stylist depends upon his treatises Holy Living and Holy Dying, as well as upon his sermons. His theology and his politics are contained in The Liberty of Prophesying (1647), a work seldom read today. In this work, Taylor argues for a latitudinarian theology that would give broad freedom to dissenting preachers, and he addresses the question that plagued Britain until 1660: Who is in the church? His answer: Just about everybody. Taylor’s latitudinarianism, and the religious tolerance it permitted, was grounded in an idea of reason drawn from rhetoric. Studies of the concept of reason in the seventeenth century have generally neglected the impact of rhetoric. Robert Hoopes’s study of right reason in seventeenth-century England pays no attention to rhetoric. Hoopes’s discussion of TLP focuses instead upon science, Platonism, and philosophical skepticism as formative influences. Barbara Shapiro shows how, in later seventeenth-century England, probability and certainty came to be defined against rhetoric: these terms came to have meanings derived
