page. Its pages are numbered 80-139. The manuscript consists of part only of one
sermon. The author makes reference to several biblical passages in the manuscript:
Peter 1: 3-4; 1 Corinthians 15-16; Galatians 3: 13; Job 42: 5-6; and Romans 7-9.
Keywords: believers, true and righteous; damnation;

“[Untitled Ms. Sermons 1686 and 1707.]” [1686-1707] 33pp. [Acc. No. 912]
Repository: Virginia Baptist Historical Society, at the University of Richmond,
Richmond, VA (Virginia Baptist Historical Society)
Commentary: Donated by Dr. J. L. M. Curry. Both sermons have many
abbreviations which make accurate transcription difficult. The content of the
sermons casts doubt upon their inclusion in this bibliography as Southern sermons.
Their tone is closer to that of many New England sermons. See accession numbers
913 and 914.
27. ANONYMOUS. (VA; Denom. Unknown;)
“[We must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ.]” [1792] 32pp. [Acc. No.
920]
Repository: Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA
Bib. Ref.: 2 Cor. 5, 10. “We must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ.”
Commentary: According to a note by D. M. Kenner, this sermon was removed from
the library of General Robert Edward Lee by a Union soldier and was transferred
to Kenner in August, 1865. It arrived at ViHi in 1958 as a gift from the Lutheran
Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. The sermon may be missing a page at the
end, but, more likely, this minister may be using “now go” at the end of the text as
an abbreviation of his standard conclusion to the sermon. A note on the sermon
indicates that it was preached on April 22, 1792.
Keywords: afterlife, proof of; free will; nature; Lee, Robert Edward; judgment;
