| Dates | 1820 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the idea that most men unknowingly reject religion and God. The line "Ye do always resist the Holy Ghost," from Acts 7:51 is quoted. Hitchcock encourages his congregation to examine their motivations and feelings more deeply to determine whether the moral actions they perform are the result of their faith or if they are rejecting their faith. Hitchcock has written some dates and locations of when and where he delivered this sermon in 1820 on the first page as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. |
