My colleague and friend Julius Kim did his doctoral dissertation on Tillotson:

The Religion of Reason and the Reason for Religion: John Tillotson and the Latitudinarian Defense of Christianity, 1630-1694.

There is an essay on Tillotson in the forthcoming essay in the covenant and Justification volume.

His diss. is not yet available via UMI. Our library doesn't even have a copy yet, but I hope the library will accession a copy soon.

John Tillotson, Archbishop of Canterbury (October 1630 -- November 22, 1694) was present on the side of the Presbyterians at the 1661 Savoy Conference but chose to conform at the imposition of the 1662 Act of Uniformity. He was irenic towards nonconformists, however, and being a confident of William & Mary after the Glorious Revolution brought about an ecclesiastical commission for the reconciliation of Dissenters. He was one of the patrons of Matthew Poole's Synopsis.
