The Life of Francis Covell

LIFE OF FRANCIS COVELL, COVELL, F- Gathered fragments in the life of Francis Covell, minister of the gospel at Providence Chapel, Croydon. If Mr. Covell was great as a preacher, he was equally so in prayer. Few had such earnest pleading with heaven! It was indeed like Elijah on Carmel pulling down the blessing; or Jacob wrestling with the Angel. But he was also a true pastor. Many would call to mind the words of warning, counsel, and comfort, and his generous actions. How his people missed such a pastor, pleader and preacher. May the reader glean much from the life of this eminent servant of Christ.
