SERMON I.
NATURE AND REVELATION.
ROMANS I. 20, 21. For the invisible things of Him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being un-
derstood by the things that are made, even His eter-
nal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse, because that when they knew God, they glo-
rified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but
became vain in their imagination and their foolish
heart was darkened.

SERMON II.
CHRISTIANITY AS TAUGHT IN THE GOSPELS.
LUKE I. 1-4. Forasmuch as many have taken in hand
to set forth in order a declaration of those things,
which are most surely believed among us, even as
they delivered them unto us, which from the begin-
ning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word;
it seemed good to me also, having had a perfect un-
derstanding of all things from the very first, to write
unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that
thou mightest know the certainty of those things
wherein thou hast been instructed.
