Sermons on Matthew 6.9

On p. 44, the author comments that because the sermon was delivered on November 5, there was mention of the Gunpowder Treason. If the first sermon extends pp. 1-44, this would be the second of seven sermons on this text extending over these pages. It is difficult, if not impossible, to see where sermon 2 ends and the other sermons begin. Sermon 1 could have had a separate entry, but its context is better understood in this record.
