' The Pre-existenoe of Christ , considered in a Practical View , endeavouring to prove that the Doctrine did not lessen , but gave great additional force to his Example / This was fallowed by a short * Treatise on Evangelical Holiness * None of these short
treatises are now to be procured . - ** J . Cornish ' s beloved friend , Dr . Touhmn , who was candour itself , kindly superintended the publication of these little tracts , though the leading sentiments of them did not quite accord with , and in some particulars
materially differed from his manner of expressing himself on these topics . " A Brief History of Nonconformity , ' being an enlarged edition of the History of the Puritans , was published in London , in 1 7 ^ 7 , under the inspection of his valuable friend , Mr .
Palmer , of Hackney , so deservedly esteemed for his important services to the cause of religious liberty and Christian piety . This has also been long out of print . A new edition has been proposed , which any one is welcome to s ^ t forth who may think it any way calculated to serve the noble Cause of religious truth and liberty .
** An intended Life of that real patriot and genuine Christian , Mr . John IwHburne * was announced , but the times became so unfavourable to all publications in defeftee of civil and retigious liberty , that the design was not ex&ctttfcd , and by J . Gornish never

J . Cornish , after a comfortable night , arose at six , grateful for the fine apl p ^ arance of a change in ike weather . A violent attack of asthma came onliis faithful domestic was alarmed '
His apothecary and many kind friends were soon with him , who thought he was expiring , but in about two hour 3 the violence abated , and in the course of the day Dr . Barnes , the vicar , Mr . Peppin , the curate , and many friends called .
" On Tuesday , September 2 , before J . Cornish arose , a second violent attack brought him apparently to death ' s door , and on Thursday , September 4 , a third attack so weakened
him , that his apothecary and himself , as well as those about him , thought that night must be his last . Blessed be God , he felt little pain , and though weak yet lives , and ou the whole is comfortable . October 2 . "
The above 13 the memorial which Mr . Cornish drew up , and which was closed only seven days before he died . He directed that it should be sent to Mr . Manning , of Exeter , and Mr . Yeates , of Sidmouth , and inserted in
the Monthly Repository , - with such alterations as they should think fit . Three days after this , October 5 , he found himself so much better that he attended the public service at the Meeting on both parts of the day , and
as&ktecfa frieml who preached for him , in administering the Lord ' s Supper * carrying round the bread and wine , and addressing the communicants in several appropriate passages of Scripture . At the close of the services he
expressed to his friend the gratification h £ felt from having been permitted to attend the several services , and so far w $ s he ^ from being exhausted by the exertion he had - used , that he seemed more cheerful , and apparently
stronger , than hfc was in the morning , and spoke of his attention of preach * ing &n one part * bfc the follewiBg SablWWh . But tike -great Arbiter of life had otherwise dfccreed , for on
