Edward Hitchcock fragment of a note Edward Hitchcock sermon notes, 1823 February Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock examining Paul’s lamentation in Romans 7:24-25 and the contest between sin and holiness within the lives of Christians. Hitchcock discusses several reasons sin is hateful to Christians, how it is opposite in nature and in consequence to holiness, and how deliverance from the distressful conflict with sin can only come through Christ. He concludes by asking his listeners if they hate sin as Paul hated it, and to meditate on the blessedness of eventual deliverance.

He analyzes how people in age groups of ten years, both Christians and nonbelievers, see the world and what they have experienced. He begins with those ten years old and ends, with the most commentary, with those between seventy and eighty. Hitchcock has written related hymns on the last page.
