The folly and vanity of superstition and humane inventions in the worship of God. Discovered in two sermons preached in the City of London by W. Jenkin BD, [late 17th century].

Manuscript, in a single secretary hand, of two sermons on superstition. The first sermon addresses what superstition is; the inclination in man to such wickedness; man's natural pride to scorn to learn to be taught the proper worship of God; and man's inclination to embrace the customs and superstitions of their forefathers. The second sermon addresses the applications of such doctrines, including an exhortation to the audience to "labour for a renewed tast and palate and rellish upon your souls" and to study the word of God.
