Coleridge is concerned to isolate a particular genesis of the Deism and Unitarianism of the eighteenth century. His insistence that the moral life requires divine aids, a communion with the divine spirit, leads him to trace a genealogy of Deism which sees the root of the problem exemplified in the Arminian Cambridge divine Jeremy Taylor. His understandable revulsion from the asperity of the Augustinian-Calvinistic emphasis upon human depravity and need, and his fear that this would subvert all attempts to preach and attain true holiness, led Taylor to assert a degree of human ethical sufficiency which seemed to subvert Christian stress upon human need for grace. Perhaps ironically, Coleridge employs arguments from the philosophy of autonomy, of Kant, to sustain his moderate Augustinianism against Taylor's Arminianism. Taylor was inclined to use arguments culled from the Dutch Arminian jurists, especially Hugo Grotius. Hence Coleridge is inclined to dismiss this moralising semi-Pelagianism as Grotianism, and sometimes speaks (disparagingly) of the Grotio-Payleian scheme in this context.
