Cornelius Cayley (1727–1779) was an English religious writer and preacher. As a young man he lived beyond his means until, under the influence of James Hervey he started attending the Tabernacle at Moorfields, after which he had visions of death. The early death of one his brothers after such a vision and hearing George Whitefield preach in 1751 led to a conversion experience. This account was first published in 1757.
