Notes for a sermon given on Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know that they shall dye, etc." Later dates and brief mentions of the occurences that brought about its use appear on the manuscript, including "Latter end 1745 being ye Sabbath after ye Death of ye wido'w [Hudson?]" Reflects on the creation of the world, dispensation of divine providence to good and evil men, the enjoyments of life, and the knowledge of death. "...man Comes up as a Flower and makes a Show for a Little time, but presently he is Cut down and withereth away." Discusses how to live profitably: "by turning from Sinfull pleasures unto god, is ye onely way to have true pleasure and prosperity while we Live here."
