This sermon is probably the one with the following two printings: 1) "Mans legall righteousness, is no cause or part of his justification" in John Simpson, The Herbal of Divinity, or the Dead Arising From the Dust to Confute the Hereticks of These Times That Say, There Is No Resurrection: In Several Sermons (London, 1659), 53 pp. (paginated separately); 2) John Simpson, Man's Righteousness, No Cause or Part of His Justification: Being a Sermon on Ephes. Ii.8. For by Grace Are Ye Saved, Through Faith. Extracted From the Works of Mr. John Simpson (London, 1745). Simpson also had a sermon printed on "Ephesians 2.8,9 &c.", namely, "Salvation onely by Beleeving" in John Simpson, The Perfection of Justification Maintained Against the Pharise: The Purity of Sanctification Against the Stainers of It: the Unquestionablenesse of a Future Glorification Against the Sadduce: In Severall Sermons (London, 1648) pp. 94-142.
The DWL catalogue describes this as copies of a printed sermon by Mr. John Simpson. The copyist has copied pages 44, 98, and 102.
