'It is good that we have a proper scholarly edition of Taylor's Holy Living and Holy Dying. Stanwood has provided us with very sound, scholarly, and careful editions of two of the most popular devotional manuals of the seventeenth century. These are very sound editions and ones we have long needed.'

'P.G. Stanwood has presented us with a reliable text based upon scrupulous collation of all the editions published during Taylor's lifetime ... Holy Living is in every way an achievement equal to that of Holy Dying; the two treatises are counterparts, each excellent in its kind. We can be grateful to this new edition for increasing our appreciation of a major writer of English prose and a major defender of the potential for good in human nature.'
