Jeremy Taylor alternated between the Earl of Carbery's seat, called "the Golden Grove," in Caernarvonshire, near which he taught a school, and the society of his friend John Evelyn, in London or at Sayes Court in Surrey,--tending on the whole to London, where he resumed preaching, and, after a brief arrest and some little questioning, was left unmolested.
