Abstract
Edward Hitchcock's sermon on the roles of both the Holy Spirit and a Christian's own exertions in reaching salvation, based on Philippians 2:12-13 ("Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling:..."). Hitchcock noted on the first page the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1823 and 1859 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. He argued that the contention over free agency raised for some by the text was an attack on the authority and infallibility of scripture. He stated that the text could not be more clear or more understandable on the matter and enumerated a number of principles which the sincere and prayerful Christian could embrace. He devoted two pages of the sermon to a quotation from a sermon by Rev. Thomas Chalmers.
