Description
Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.
Tennent begins this sermon about immoderate care for worldly things by citing Luke 10:41-42, "And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
From dates noted in the manuscript, it appears Tennent wrote this sermon in 1744, and delivered it again in 1753 and 1760.

Abstract
De imoderata cura mundana et uno nessesario (On excessive worry about things of this world, and one thing necessary)
A short sermon on Luke 10:41-42, and the contrasting behaviors of Martha and Mary. Jesus chides Martha for being too concerned about household matters, and says that Mary, sitting at his feet and and hearing what he has to say, is doing the one thing needful.
The original pages of the manuscript are headed Luke 10:41-42; there is an insert of one folded page written on all four sides, which is almost an outline or set of notes; it is much more hastily written, with partial phrases and one-word prompts, headed [verse] 42 only. The insert does include a brief section of typical objections or counter-arguments that hearers would have raised, with the Reverend's answers.
