Rule And Exercises Of Holy Dying

Rule and Exercises of Holy Dying

by Jeremy Taylor

This book, written by a Church of England clergyman during the tumultuous times of Oliver Cromwell, offers a guide to preparing for death. It explores the spiritual, emotional, and practical aspects of approaching mortality, offering meditations and prayers for the dying, their loved ones, and the clergy attending them. 'Rule and Exercises of Holy Dying' reflects the prevailing view of death in the 17th century, where it was considered a constant presence and a necessary subject of contemplation.
