| Dates | 1823-08 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock on the idea of indecision in religion. Hitchcock outlines many reason why he believes being undecided in one's religious views is "criminal and destructive," including the idea that those undecided have a disbelief in God, have a weakness of character, and often have a contempt of God's authority greater than those who are openly opposed to God. Joshua 24:15 is quoted. He asks his hearers to consider what would happen to religion if others only did as much as they themselves did. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered the sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page. |
