to fear, that the avenging sword of thy justice would cut me down as a cumberer of the ground; but Jesus liveth, making intercession, and therefore I am not consumed. Nor shall I ever be consumed, seeing, ‘He is able to save to the uttermost.’ To all thy other favours, O Lord, add a heart to trust thy word; and henceforth let the love of Christ constrain me to a more constant and uniform obedience. Thou knowest that I love thy law; and though I come far short of its requirements, yet there is not one jot or tittle that I desire to have altered. I consent to it that it is ‘holy, just, and good,’ and desire to conform my whole spirit, soul and body, to its divine precepts. Let thy Holy Spirit, then, carry on the work thou hast begun! Write thy law upon my heart; put it into my mind; and let me be changed from glory to glory, till I become ‘meet for the inheritance of the saints in light:’ whither, in thine own good time and way, bring me of thine infinite mercy, for Christ’s sake. Amen.” In the Easter term of 1805, Mr. Corrie was admitted to his L.L.B. degree. It was during this visit to Cambridge that the subject of a chaplaincy to the East India Company was strongly urged upon him by the late Mr. Simeon. After much and serious consideration, it seemed to Mr. C. to be his duty to devote himself to the spread of the Gospel amongst the heathen. An appointment to India was accordingly obtained for him, through the influence of the late Mr. William Hoare; and the following extracts from Mr. C.’s journal and letters will exhibit the state of his mind, in the prospect of quitting his curacy, for the purpose of exercising his ministry in a distant land. “July 25th, 1805. I have for a long time neglected to note down the workings of my soul; but I would now remark, that when I have been in my best frames, my mind has been most resigned to the work of the Lord in India. Yet I feel much cleaving to creatures, and a want of resignation. Lord, teach me to know, and do thy will! “Oct. 6th. As the time approaches for leaving England, more anxiety of mind arises; though blessed be God, no desire to draw back from the work. O may I be found but faithful! Lord, strengthen and support me in the work. ‘Give what thou commandest,--and then command what thou wilt:’ let thy will be done _in_ me, and _by_ me; and in life and death let me be thine, through Jesus Christ, thy dear Son, and my beloved Saviour. Amen!” TO THE REV. J. BUCKWORTH. “November 12, 1805.
