| Title | Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 85, "Sinner like the heath," 1821 December |
| Dates | 1821-12 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock describing the ways in which people rely on worldly things rather than on God. Hitchcock claims that relying on one's own good deeds, fulfilling religious observances, or one's sincerity to be saved demonstrates a lack of dependence on the Lord. Hitchcock further explains the heath plant and describes the ways in which sinners are like this plant. Jeremiah 17:5-6 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted on the first page the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. |
