BEING in prison, Dr. Taylor spent all his time in prayer, reading the holy scriptures, writing, preaching, and exhorting the prisoners, and such as resorted to him, to repentance, and amendment of life, and within a few days after, several other learned and godly men in sundry counties of England were committed to prison for religion, that almost all the prisons in England were become christian schools and churches; so that there was no greater comfort for protestants, than to come to the prison• to behold their virtuous deportment, and to hear their prayers, preachings, most godly exhortations, and consolations.
