Gatta expounds upon Taylor’s eternal hope as evidenced in the "wit [that] surpasses mourning, extending the poet’s own chant of salvation to the mouth of the grave."

 Edward Taylor and the Rosicrucian elements
To substantiate Taylor's exposure to Rosicrucian literature, it is helpful to contemplate Rosicrucian and alchemical literary sources which were available in New England between 1682 and 1725, the duration of Taylor's opus.
These holdings indicate that Taylor had access to Rosicrucian literature, and that although alchemy was derided by Thomas Hooker (1586-1647) pastor of Hartford, Connecticut, and one of the founders of the Connecticut Colony, as a "foolish conceit," the controversial nature of alchemy did not prevent further study (Exaltation 106).

 Edward Taylor   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Taylor belongs to the "metaphysical" school of poetry best known in the poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw and Thomas Carew (pronounced Cary) of the 1630s and 1640s in England.
The fact that Taylor still practiced this style of poetry forty years after it had gone out of fashion in England is best explained by the isolation of the colonies from literary fashion and the suitability of the metaphysical style to Taylor’s purpose.
Taylor organizes the poem into three parts, beginning with unlocking the heart to God’s love, then the putting on of heavenly robes, and finally meeting with God (now a real estate agent) to view the confines of heaven with the prospect of renting a dwelling there.

 Edward Taylor (1642?-1729)
Taylor may also seem both too easy ("doesn'the tell it all?") and too complicated, because of arcane word choices,the curious compounding of images, and the plethora of biblical images.
Taylor's fondness for extended metaphors is apparent in "Upon aSpider Catching a Fly" and his famous "Huswifery." The latterleads to discussion of Taylor's frequent use of spinning and weaving terms,frequently in relationship to poetic language or the need for the "Weddengarment" of righteousness that robes mankind for the Lord's Supperand union with Christ.
As readers,we eavesdrop on Taylor, but we are not easily invited into the poems, exceptinsofar as we identify with the Elect soul in its struggles or with Tayloras a representative pilgrim in his journey toward salvation.

 Edward Taylor: Brief Lecture Notes
It is important to remember that Taylor did not write his poems for publication; rather, he used them as aids to meditation and as preparation for giving communion to his congregation.
Taylor typically uses images of debasement in referring to his own lines.
Notice that Taylor, like Bradstreet, frequently uses the "Venus and Adonis" form (stanzas consisting of six lines of iambic pentameter rhyming ababcc) that permits questioning in the quatrain and an answer or conclusion in the couplet.

 Heath Anthology of American LiteratureEdward Taylor - Author Page
As penitent sinner, Taylor recounts his personal conversion and acceptance of God’s grace, and as community preacher, he leads his congregation to the founding of a “Particular Church” over which he would preside for another fifty years as spiritual guide, disciplinary statesman, and piously learned theologian.
Taylor’s purpose is self-examination, to root out sins that infect his soul and to cultivate instead a heart receptive to God’s sweet grace and readied to hymn “New Psalms on Davids Harpe to thee.”
Taylor inherited an exegetical and poetic tradition that was rooted in the Calvinist belief in the literal text and sole authority of Scripture as God’s Word, from which spiritual meanings might be drawn only within strict frameworks of prudent interpretation.
