Mr. Samuel Taylor, an aged Minister of Jesus Christ, and my true Friend, and fellow Labourer, died at Wem, June 26. 1695. He was turned out from Edstaston Chapel near Wem, by the Act of Uniformity; choosing rather to beg his Bread than ⟨p. 267⟩to wrong his Conscience. He continued in Wem ever since, and preached there as his Strength and Liberty would permit. He had his House burnt in the dreadful Fire that was there in 1676. and had a Child born that very Night. He was a Man of a very tender Spirit, humble and low in his own Eyes, of approved Integrity, and finished well. [Mr. Henry preached his Funeral Sermon at Wem, on 2 Cor. 4. 7. We have this Treasure in Earthe• Vessels].
