Bib. Ref.: “1 Cor: 14; 16, 17. Else when ’ou shalt bless with ’e spirit, how shall he
’at occupieth ’e room of ’e unlearn’d, say amen at thy giving of Thanks, seeing he
understandeth not what ’out sayest? For ’ou verily givest Thanks well, but ’e other is
not edified.”
Commentary: David Skaggs notes that this sermon is “probably by Cradock.” This
is the third sermon in a series of sermons which discuss a similar subject and
are based on a similar biblical reference (see accession numbers 3079 and 3080).
The three sermons discuss the church service, its parts and history. This sermon
discusses the service after the Creed, the time at which the Homily is delivered.
For information on the Cradock manuscripts, see accession number 2999. See also
accession number 3129 for related information regarding John Wilkinson.

stand at the latter Day upon the Earth. And tho’ after my Skin Worms destroy this
Body, yet in my flesh I shall see God; Whom I shall see for myself, & mine eyes

on verses she picked out from the Book of Job, and the triumph of Job’s faith over
despair. For information on the Cradock manuscripts, see accession number 2999.

the Title are letters which are difficult to decipher but which appear to read “T” or
“I” followed by a colon and “C.”[small k is spr]. For information on the Cradock
