Hitchcock noted on the first page that he had preached this sermon only once as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. He intended to provide a brief exhibition of the terms on which the penitent is able to be reconciled to God: the confession of sins; the forsaking of sins; and, the nature of the mercy which the penitent receives. Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 177, "Nature of confessing & forsaking sin," 1823 September Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 130, "God warns men once," 1822-November Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 The text Edward Hitchcock selected for this sermon was Proverbs 1:30-31: "They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof: Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their on way and be filled with their own devices." The "unavoidable inference" from this passage, according to Hitchcock, was that "God gives men a special warning[,] counsel and reproof before he gives them over to endless ruin. To the illustration of this doctrine I shall devote the principal part of this discourse." Hitchcock noted the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1822 and 1835. Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 130, "God warns men once," 1822-November Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 166, "Future Punishment," 1823 April Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Edward Hitchcock's sermon on God's punishment for impenitent sinners, based on Job 31:3 (Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?). Hitchcock noted on the first page the one time and place where he had delivered this sermon in 1823 as well as a Bible chapter and hymns related to the sermon. Hitchcock remarked that when the wrath of God is discussed, Christians, in order to ease their troubled consciences, often accuse the minister of Christ of exaggerating the terrors of damnation. In order both to avoid such ridicule and to preach those things required of anyone wishing to be saved, Hitchcock would use only the Bible's own words to describe the wrath of God against sinners, to describe the duration of future torments, and to describe the character of those who would suffer these punishments for eternity. No language could be more terrifying than scripture. Hitchcock called on his "hearers" to bring themselves and their children to repentance. Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 166, "Future Punishment," 1823 April Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 98, "All Holy Beings Engaged to Save Sinners," 1822 March Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Edward Hitchcock's sermon on repentance, based on Ezekiel 18:31.

Hitchcock discusses the consequences of this lack of true belief and says these Christians should expect temporal judgments and should fear the judgement of God, which he describes as final, irreversible, irremediable, eternal, and unspeakable. Yet Hitchcock notes that there is still the possibility for repentance and redemption for these Christians. Ezekiel 9:5-6 is quoted Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page. Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 221, "Dangers of Lukewarm Christians," 1824 September Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 63, "Repentance," 1821 July Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the concept of repentance.

Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 63, "Repentance," 1821 July
