Description

Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.

Tennent begins this sermon, "On the blessings of affliction," by citing Psalms 119:67, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word." From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1753, then delivered it again in 1756, 1760, 1761, and 1763.
