faliibly certain and supremely important , a doptrine which is to be the foundation of his hope and the guide of his life , not because there is sufficient evidence of its truth , but
because some person who calls himself his spiritual director , tells him it must be bettered , does , I confess , appear to me to savour more of the credulity of a child , than of the wisdom of a man . If , however , this complete
** prostration of the understanding *' be ,, as Mr . Cogan represents it , a matter of necessity , pr , according to the doctrine of a Right Rev . Bishop , a duty , in either case , as it appears
to me , Protestantism and every thing connected with it is at an end ; since if so great a sacrifice must be made , it is quite obvious , that the Church of Rome has a much fairer claim to it than any other power whatever .

1824 . Jan . 5 , at his father ' s house , Oakhill i Somersetshire , Pkard , second son of Wm . Peard Jillard , Esq ., at the early age of 22 . Mr . P . Jillard was a pupil of the late Dr . Estlin , of Bristol , for four years , and on the Doctor ' s giving up his school , removed to Birmingham to complete his classical studies under the care of the Rev . Mr . Corrie . He then returned
to Bristol , and was articled to an eminent solicitor of that city , residing during his clerkship in the family of his former preceptor , to which he was related . He afterwards went to London , where he passed a twelvemonth in an assiduous attention to those studies which were to
complete the period of his professional education , and there is reason to believe that his health was impaired by his unremitting diligence in acquiring all the knowledge he wished to possess . He was particularly ardent in his pursuits
during his abode in London , that he might qualify himself for dicharging with advantage to his clients , and credit to himself , the duties of a most eligible connexion in partnership , which had been formed for him with a highly respectable solicitor of Shepton Mallet .
On the first day of the New Year the partnership was to commence ; a period anxiously loolced forward to by himself , and not less so by his family , who rejoiced at the prospect of having settled near them a son , a brother and a friend , on whose judgment they placed the great-

To that part of Mr . Cogant ' s letter which is intended to shew the urirea * sonableness of rejecting Christianity , I have nothing" to ' . object . I am an
advocate for natural religion , not an opposer of Christianity . And I think it important to remark , that in my judgment , the most complete conviction of the eternal truth and univei >
sal authority of natural religion , is in perfect harmony with an ; entire belief in the supernatural origin and great importance of the Christian revelation . From the gracious hand of the Giver of every good and perfect
gift , and not through the medium of the unhallowed decrees of usurping priests , or earthly magistrates * I gratefully and joyfully receive both . The latter , I verily believe to be true ; the former , I certainly know to be so . W . STURCH .

est reliance , and in whose affection they felt a source of the highest satisfaction . Early in December , Mr . P . Jillard having completed his term of residence in London , returned to his father ' s house to arrange and prepare for entering upon his new duties . It was seen with regret that
his health appeared delicate , but no serious disease was either evinced or apprehended . When congratulated on the first of January that the long-expected day was at length arrived , and when welcomed as one of the new partnership , he sighed , and manifested a depression of
spirits which was quite unusual to him . He went , however , in a carriage into Shepton , a distance of three miles , on the 1 st and 2 nd of January , examined the lodgings he was to occupy ; saw some of his friends and new clients , and returned to Qakhill . On the evening of
the 4 th , he appeared much worse than he had been before , and in the course of the slight it was evident to his medical attendants that a change , had taken place in his disorder , indicating a speedily fatal termination . At the request of his family it was communicated to him by his
physician that he had but a few hours to live . This awful information was quite unexpected by him , but he received it with great composure . He said it was a very short warning , and desired that his family would come to his bedside . To each , he said something kind and affectionate ; expressed a grateful sense of
