A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the concept of sin and the idea that sin can come in the form of false and deceitful philosophy. Hitchcock explores the ways in which a man can be corrupted by false philosophy and examines the effects of this corruption in the earthly and heavenly world. Additionally, Hitchcock contrasts a man corrupted this way with a man of knowledge who is a true Christian and leads others to Christ. Colossians 2:8 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted on the inside of the front cover the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon between 1819 and 1841 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. The laid-in sheet at the front appears to be unrelated to the rest of the sermon.
