In  the chapel Mr. Cozens said, "I will read to you the register of the births and deaths of the patriarchs of the old world (Gen. 5), and the first public funeral, of which we have an interesting account in the fiftieth chapter of Genesis." In reading the first portion, Mr. Cozens laid great emphasis upon the words "And he died," making ever and anon some solemn remarks upon the recurrence of those words. Before reading the account of Jacob's funeral Mr. Cozens took us into the sick chamber and described the closing scene.

"MY VERY DEAR FRIEND, MR. BANKS,—I am sorry to inform you of Mr. John Vincent's death. He preached twice on last Lord's-day, was taken ill on Monday morning, and died this morning, at three o'clock, September 15, 1880. We have lost our pastor, and the chief supporter of Love-lane Chapel. May the Lord incline some good man to come to feed the people with the true bread of life. I shall be glad to hear from you; I hope you will not forget us. I am getting almost past writing. May the good Lord be with you to your journey's end.

Mr. John Vincent,—(one of the deacons; we may also add, one of the ministers, of the Strict Baptist Church in New Bridge street, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne)—has forwarded us the following special communication. Norfolk is a county less known to us in a Gospel sense, than other counties are. We hope to know it better soon. The Cathedral city of Norwich is better off for Particular Baptist Churches than most Cathedral cities are. At Claxton, Mr. Pawson is doing a good work. Lowestoff and Yarmouth, are towns where our principles ought to be more recognized; but mental and spiritual power is wanting.
