Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock on sins of commission and omission. The line "And the publican standing afar off would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast saying God be merciful to me a sinner," from Luke 18:13 is quoted. Hitchcock warns the congregation that men so often compare themselves to other men when determining their goodness, rather than comparing themselves to God. He states that they therefore remain unaware of many of their sins because they are not comparing themselves to the "law of God." Hitchcock has written dates and locations of when and where he delivered this sermon between 1820 and 1821 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page of text.
