Abstract
Based on Acts 7:51, these two companion sermons by Edward Hitchcock focus on natural man's hostility to religious doctrine and religious practice. He states that "most men are ignorant of the modes in which their enmity to God displays itself" and that "it is one of the grand objects of the faithful preacher to convince men of their deep rooted opposition & enmity to God." In sermon 119, he provides examples of the ways in which even a man who believes himself sincere and honest in his beliefs will oppose "the system of revealed truth our fathers have delivered down to us." Sermon 120 continues his examination of "our opposition to vital godliness" and Hitchcock enumerates ways in which this hostility manifests itself as "our natural opposition to experimental or practical religion." Edward Hitchcock did not provide a title for either of these sermons. Twice within the second sermon, he mentioned that his remarks on "native repugnance" to the doctrines of the Gospel were delivered in the "morning" and "forenoon," suggesting that both sermons were presented on the same day. As was his habit, on the first page of each sermon Hitchcock noted the dates and places where he had delivered these sermons between 1824 and 1831.
