Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing moral sublimity. Hitchcock claims that Christians are the most morally sublime of all mankind, and discusses several reasons for this in depth. Some of Hitchcock's evidence for Christian moral sublimity is a comparison of the way that men with and without religion face suffering, the way these two groups regard their enemies, and the differing ways they endure death. Hitchcock essentially states that because Christians know their trials must be sent by God for a reason and because they are motivated by their desire to serve God they are the most morally sublime. Philippians 1:21 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon on the first page.
