Taylor, John (1), "the Wafer Poet," was born at Gloucester, England, in 1580, and was educated at a free school in that town. He went to London, where he was apprenticed to a waterman, and followed this occupation for the most of his life; hence his appella- tion of " the Water Poet." He was also collector of the wine fees for the lieutenant of the Tower, and keeper of a public-house at Oxford and Westminster. He died in 1654.

Taylor, John (2), D.D., a learned English Dissenter and educator, was born near Lancaster in 1694, and was educated at Whitehaven. He settled first at Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, where he preached to a small congrega- tion and taught a grammar-school for nearly twenty years. In 1733 he was settled over a Presbyterian Church at Norwich, but in 1757 went to Warrington, in Lancashire, to superintend an academy, and died there, March 5, 1761. Among his publications are.

His greatest work is his Hebrew Concordance, adapted to the English Bible, in which every word in the Hebrew Bible, with all its forms and signilications, is to be found. His Scripture Doctrine ofOrii/inal Sin called forth the celebrated an- swer of Edwartls, in his treatise on Orii/inul Sin, wliich, whatever else may be said, it was not in the power of Taylor of Norwich to answer. In his Paraphrase on the' Romans, with notes, he also found opportunity to broach freely his Arian sentiments, although the work also contains many valuable illustrations and com- ments on the Epistle.
