Description

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

Tennent begins this sermon on the fifth commandment with reference to Colossians 3:20-21, "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."

From dates noted on the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1745, then delivered it again in 1745, 1748, 1751, 1755 and 1760.
