Father Taylor of Boston, quoted by Rita Snowden.

Found in The Daily Study Bible: The Letters to Galatians and Ephesians, by William Barclay, pg 113. (Revised Edition 1976

"Father" Edward Thompson Taylor (1793-1871), the chaplain at Boston's Seamen's Bethel, inspired Herman Melville to create "Father Mapple" in Moby Dick.
