This work is the final available sermon compilation of Mr. Cawdrey. His first sermon is "The Saints Shall Judge the World," from Revelation 20:4, "And I saw seats, and they say upon them, and judgment was given unto them." It is so unique that a Christian may never hear it preached in today's modern age. His second sermon is on the topic of hypocrisy called, "A Close Hypocrite Discovered," from Luke 18:11, "God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." His last sermon is against Antinomian sentiments called, "The Lawfulness of Doing Good out of Hope of Reward," springing from Hebrews 6:19.
