Claggett by Professor Samuel Hart of Berkeley Divinity School (1904), but do not
seem to be in his handwriting. Ethan Allen assigned the sermons to Goundril. Both
attributions may be wrong if it is true that Goundril was not licensed until 1770.

Commentary: This booklet is bound with another containing three sermons.
See accession number 882. These two sermons are listed as accession numbers
884 and 885. A note on the booklet reads “Two sermons, one on the Cross, the
other on sin and peace, etc.” A note by Ranney on the folder cover reads “This
sermon bears a notation by Rev. E. Allen ascribing it to Goundril—source of
the information not known. It is in the same handwriting as a sermon indexed
herein under ‘1768—Goundril, (Rev.) George (?),’ which was attributed to Bishop
Claggett himself. This attribution has not been followed because the handwriting
does not seem the same as Bishop Claggett’s usual hand—compare in this file
‘1768—Claggett, Thomas John (Bp.)—Sermon.’ If it is true, however that Goundril
was licensed in 1770, it appears unlikely he was preaching in 1763. Claggett was
ordained in 1767, and by the same token it seems equally unlikely he was preaching
in 1763. Both attributions could be wrong. The list of places and months preached
