Preachingsca. 1622-03-25 - 1622-03-24 (old) - Lincoln's Inn - Occasion not identified; No date is given in the manuscript, but the Oxford Edition website estimates it to be in 1622. There is a discrepancy about the place of preaching: the manuscript identifies it as Lincoln's Inn but the printed versions say the sermon was "Preached to the Earle of Carlile, and his Company, at Sion" (Syon House).
