Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the concept of illness. Hitchcock describes what he believes a sickroom should look like and what it should contain, and then lists several religious lessons he recently learned while he was ill. He writes that sickness makes people more grateful to others, gives people a better idea of the possible suffering in the afterlife, and makes people realize they are dependent upon God's intervention. He also says that illness makes people realize the importance of the doctrine of Christ's humanity, makes them understand that laboring for the Lord is a privilege, gives people an opportunity to consider their own eternal fate, and makes one particularly interested in the change that is death. Psalm 41:3 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon on the first page.
