Commentary: This is the second of two sermons in a booklet bound by string (see
accession number 3108). David Skaggs placed these sermons, found amongst
Cradock’s papers, with those by Cradock although the handwriting and format are
different. Uncharacteristically, this sermon begins with two readings of the same
Psalm. For information on the Cradock manuscripts, see accession number 2999.
