Description

Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.

This manuscript contains two sermons by Tennent. The first sermon, on the subject of God's "shield and reward", begins by citing Genesis 15. The second sermon, on the subject of following in Christ's footsteps, begins with references to 1 Peter 2:21 and 1 John 2:6.

From dates noted on the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote these sermons in 1745, then delivered one or both again in 1749, 1752, 1755, and 1758,
