Offered here is a complete mid-19th century American handwritten sermon manuscript, measuring approx. 6.25\" x 8\" and running 15 full pages.
The text is based on Hebrews XI:13: “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off…”
Themes developed in the sermon include:
The nature and fruits of faith — unseen promises, patience, and endurance.
Biblical examples of faith including Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and others.
Saints and martyrs enduring “mockings, scourgings, bonds, and imprisonment.”
The Christian life as a pilgrimage, believers as “strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”
Comfort for the faithful at life and death, with emphasis on eternal reward.
The neat and legible script, length, and structured divisions suggest this was a prepared sermon for pulpit delivery. It reflects the devotional and exhortative tone of New England / revivalist preaching during the Second Great Awakening era (ca. 1830s–1850s).
A scarce survival of American religious manuscript culture — ideal for collectors of antique sermons, theology manuscripts, Protestant preaching, or early American faith history.
