Abstract
Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in April 1839, discussing 1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God." Hitchcock claims that this verse explains several moral phenomena in a way similar to scientific discoveries explaining many natural phenomena at once. He says a "natural" man is one who is unconverted, and lists ten characteristics or attitudes of unconverted men that he believes are explained by the quoted verse. This includes, for example, why unconverted people see no distinction between morality and holiness and why devoted Christians seem fanatical to the unconverted. He then uses these points to make a few remarks on the importance of conversion and the unfortunate state of the unconverted.
