The title of this sermon translates to "On the freedom from care or carelessness of mortal man." Tennent warns against feeling false comfort and joy, as one must be "wounded by the law and spirit of God" and subsequently healed by Christ, as a sort of physician for sick souls, where sin is the metaphorical sickness.

Abstract
De securitate carnali (On the freedom or carelessness of mortal man), a very short sermon, possible a fragment or first thoughts towards a longer presentation.
Begins with a list of all the false notions and hopes held by people who aren't well-grounded in faith. They lean on false props and are convinced of their own self-reliance, but these are indications of Satan's influence.
Harsh descriptions of punishment destined for such, unless they repent and find Christ. On the final page gives advice to those ailing from unbelief who are finally seeking aid.
