Just tryin' to think of a flashly title to draw some feedback...

Some classic Reformed writings were completed by friends, colleagues and interested persons after the authors' demise. Their names are sometimes forgotten but they are worth remembering. I'll give some examples below. Any others?

"On land, at sea, at home, abroad, / I smoke my pipe and worship God." -- J.S. Bach

I thought this was about a Connelly novel.

Anyone else?

John Flavel died before completing his exposition of the Westminster Assembly's Shorter Catechism. George Trosse completed the last five questions.

I thought it was about a dumb TV show on TNT with an actress with a fake southern accent.

John Evans began the work of writing a History of Nonconformity, but died before it could be completed, as it was by his assistant Daniel Neal with the title The History of the Puritans.

Ditto. I only clicked this link out of sheer amazement that such a topic would be brought up here. I am pleasantly suprised.

Jeremiah Burroughs died before completing his exposition of Hosea, but it was completed by his close friends, Thomas Hall and Edward Reynolds.

So can anyone elaborate for me the extent to which David Pareus completed the commentary of Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism after Ursinus' death?
