Publications
Heywood's 'Works' were collected by Richard Slate (1825–7, 5 vols); the collection is complete with the exception of one or two prefaces from his pen.
Among his best publications are:
- Heart Treasure &c., 1667, 2nd part, 1672
- Closet Prayer &c., 1671
- Life in God's Favour &c., 1679
- Baptismal Bonds Renewed &c., 1687
- The Best Entail &c., 1693
- A Family Altar &c., 1693
- A Treatise of Christ's Intercession &c., Leeds, 1701
Most of his books are on topics of practical religion, and he sent them out in large quantities among his friends for free distribution. For his inner life the best authority is the series of his 'Diaries,' edited, with other papers, by J. Horsfall Turner, Brighouse, 1881–5, 4 vols. His registers of baptisms, marriages, and deaths, edited, with those of his successor, Thomas Dickenson, by J. Horsfall Turner, under the title of The Nonconformist Register, Brighouse, 1881, are of great biographical value.
