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. Tennent begins the first sermon, on cognition, by citing Proverbs 22:17, Hosea 4:6, and Proverbs 12:3-9. He begins the second sermon, on temptations by the devil, by citing Ephesians 5:6-15, and later Romans 8:6.
From dates noted on the manuscript, it appears Tennent wrote these sermons in 1744 or 1745, then redelivered one or both in 1747 and 1759.

Abstract
De cognitione (On cognition) and De temptationibus Diaboli are two related sermons, the first of which explicates and provides guidance for worshippers in gaining spiritual knowledge and understanding, toward renewing their faith through catechesis, the kind of instruction given to prospective members of a church to explain the faith if they're to be baptized or confirmed. The second sermon strives to refresh the understanding of that faith for those who had been baptized as infants, and to strengthen everyone's protection against temptation.
