He had been preaching for five consecutive days before he was taken ill, though he always had bronchitic symptoms. He was engaged to supply at Galeed, Brighton, Oct. 1st and 8th, and on the morning of Oct. 1st preached what is called a funeral sermon, from Rev. 14:13, for our friend, Mr. Joseph Banfield. In the evening he preached from Jn. 6:56, 57, and administered the Lord's supper. Many of the friends felt it good to be there.
