May 14 , at £ > iss , Norfolk , in the 25 th year of her age , Sarah Cobb , after a long and painful affliction , which she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation . At the age of seventeen she became deeply impressed with a sense of religious duties , and of the indispensable necessity of preparing herself for a future state ,
and used to say , that she had in v ade the subject of death so familiar by her contemplations that she entertained no dread of its approach . She usually attended the preaching of the Methodists , but never became a member of that society , A few weeks before her death she
expressed a wish to be visited by the minister of the Unitarian congregation at Palgrave ( of which congregation two of her sifters are members ) ; and though it must be unnecessary to say that his
prayers and conversation were directly calculated to lead her to repose her hopes of salvation on the primary and unpurch ' ased mercy of God the Father , made known to us by Jesus Christ , she expressed full confidence and seemed to
experience much consolation m such a view of the doctrines of grace . It is considered proper to notice this circumstance , because it Is calculated to silence a calumny well Iqaown to most Unitarians ; viz . thai the peculiar doctrines of Uhitarianism are unable to give consolation at the hour of death ; and because , if the case h ^ 4 Be ^ n reversed , had she been in
, the habit of attending the ministry of a Unitarian , and ' seiit " fbr a , Trinitarian to &t 8 ft . Wwi and cqnsole . her in the hour of SftSv * & ^ m %$ ? $ ^ ty * beea % Wf ?? Ahe catalogue ¦ $£ to ^ epresenta . tions , and adduced as new proof that

May 24 , aged 77 , at Ws house , Camden JfiIt CranbrookiKent 9 tyr . liojpMRT . pYAi * i , for many years pastor of ihp Unitarian Baptist Church at Headcorn . . His father , Samuel Pyall , had also been a minister at the same place . Mp Byall was born in the adjoining parish of Frittenden , where he succeeded his father as a
farmer and grazier ; but retiring from business about fifteen years ago , he purchased the estate at Camden -Hill , where he spent the remainder of his life ., He discharged his duty in all the relative stations of life with singular fidelity and honour . He was twice married ; the name
of his first wife was Henrietta Cooper , of Horsham , and his last , whose maiden name was Shepherd , and who survives him , was also of a respectable family at the above place . He had no children of
his own , but he was a kind father to all his relations , many of whom were in needy circumstances ; he was a tender husband , a liberal relation , a faithful friend , a generous benefactor , and an honest man .
Mr . Pyall began to preach at 27 years of age . He had embraced the high Arian hypothesis , but ^ happening to meet with some of Dr . Priestley ' s writings , he soon relinquished the pre-existence , together
with some other opinions which he formerly held , and , about 30 years ago , being convinced of the simple humanity of Christ , he continued under that persuasion until his death . As a preacher he was aware that his talent was not
popular , and he never stood in thp way of others ; but by his disposition to render himself useful wherever his exertions were necessary , he always , rendered himself most deservedly esteemed in his ministerial character . As a proof of which , he was chosen by the General Baptist Churche ^ as one of their tnessengers , and this choice was confirmed in Mr . Moon ' s
chapel , at Bepffordjr in May J . 803 . Mr . P . was remarkable for his zeal in the cause of free inquiry ^ pd ; ] tj ( i ^ p idinotion of religious conferenc # « € etings .
