Contents NoteAuditor's notes on one sermon, and a series of quotes potentially taken from sermons. One is attributed to Bennet, "The whole life of a xian is a sort of suffering under the hand of the holy spirit, that he may by new strokes, finish the divine age upon the soul and repent it with greater exchange”. The other quotes are as follows: “a faithful tender conscience is one of the greatest blessings in the world”,
“the main happiness of a xtian lies in his being fruitful, ready for every good work, and abounding therein", “Live like believers trample this dirty world under your feet. Youll be gone out of it shortly”
