Today is the feast of St. Jeremy Taylor, my favorite Caroline Divine and one of the greatest Divines of Anglican history. I highly recommend his writings to all Anglicans seeking pious instruction for this earthly life.
From Lesser Feasts and Fasts:
O God, whose days are without end, and whose mercies cannot be numbered: Make us, we beseech thee, like thy servant Jeremy Taylor, deeply sensible of the shortness and uncertainty of human life; and let thy Holy Ghost lead us in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
