plains of Moab thirty days. And there arose not a prophet since in Israel, like unto Moses.”
Commentary: Notes on the cover read “Preached in St Paul’s & Xt Church,
[Baltimore,] Feby. 22, 1800.” Page 54 is written inside the front cover of the sermon,
followed by pages 55 through 66, which are sewn inside the front cover before page
1 of the sermon. The cover of the sermon is stained and torn at the hinge, causing
the loss of some letters at the ends of lines on page 54 and at the beginning of lines
on page 53 (the back cover). This sermon, reflecting Bend’s Federalist views, is a
panegyric on Washington’s life and career.
