In particular the valuable fund for relieving the widows and orphans of poor dissenting ministers was his suggestion, and it was mainly in consequence of his exertions and interest that it was established. In 1768, four volumes of Dr. Chandler's Sermons were published, according to his own directions in his last will; and in 1777, under the care of the Rev. N. White, his successor at the Old Jewry, A Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul to the Galatians and Ephesians, with doctrinal and practical observations; together with a critical and practical Commentary on the two Epistles to the Thessalonians.

Perhaps an acceptable service would be rendered by any one who would remodel the work on a larger scale, striking out only what has a merely temporary and personal reference, and adapting the whole to the circumstances of the present times. In 1777 he lost his colleague and relative, Mr. Stephen Towgood, who was succeeded by Mr. James Manning. Though now so far advanced in life, he continued to take his share in the duties of the public congregation, till the infirmities of age disabled him from the more laborious part of his ministerial functions. He finally resigned the pastoral office in 1782, after more than sixty years of service in the Christian church. On this occasion, in addition to a substantial testimony of their respect a
