Abstract
Sermons notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in January 1843, discussing God's creation of the universe according to a preconceived and perfect plan. Hitchcock uses a line in Hebrews 3:4 to analogize God to an architect planning and building a house, and argues in favor of God's perfection, the necessity of a predetermined plan and universe, and God's pleasure in that universe. He also discusses the necessity and rightness of free will and divine punishment in a predetermined universe. The first page notes that the sermon was fully written out in November 1847.
