LOT 3149
MANUSCRIPT. A Thanks-Giving Sermon. [N.p.: circa 1746.] 26pp., manuscript, 12mo (159 x 97mm.) Unnumbered pages in a single, legible hand being a sermon in praise of God for his intercession in the downfall of the last Jacobite rising of 1745. (Occasional spotting, minor chipping.) Original wrappers, title in manuscript to upper cover (stained). Note: the writer offers fervent praise to God for suppressing 'the late unnatural rebellion' by the Jacobite Charles Edward Stuart. He also sees the death of the King of Spain and the recent military victories of the King of Sardinia ('Our firm friend and ally') as proof that God is supporting 'His Majesty and his allies' in the ongoing war against the French ('a haughty tyrannical people (I say) who have ruined many other countries as well as their own'. - And a further three volumes (including a Bible in Greek 'He Kaine Diatheke. Novum Testamentum', 1752, 12mo, and an early 19th century Common Place Book) (3).
