Abstract
Edward Hitchcock's sermon based on 1 Peter 8:15. Drawing upon the "science of religion," Hitchcock examined the standards of Christian experience. He mentioned that he had "proceeded in the morning (if I may be permitted to borrow a phrase from our courts of civil law) to challenge many of those equivocal evidences" which Christians use to prove their piety. He recognized that in his audience "some in despair were led to say to themselves if these are not evidence of regeneration what evidence can be found?" The object of this discourse was to answer this question, to enumerate those "marks, given in scripture, by which real Christians can be distinguished from all hypocrites." Hitchcock noted the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1822 and 1843.
