Sermon for the Third Sunday in Advent How that we must wholly come out from ourselves, that we may go into the wilderness and behold God. IV. Sermon for Christmas Day Of the things by which we become children of God. V. Sermon for Epiphany This Sermon on the Gospel for the day, from St. Matthew, showeth how God, of His great faithfulness, hath foreseen and ordained all sufferings for the eternal good of each man, in whatever wise they befall us, and whether they be great or small.

VII. Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Of the great wonders which God has wrought, and still works for us Christian men; wherefore it is just and reasonable that we should turn unto Him and follow Him, and whereby we may discern between true and false conversion.

IX. Sermon for Septuagesima Sunday In this Sermon following we are taught how we must perpetually press forward towards our highest good, without pause or rest; and how we must labour in the spiritual vineyard that it may bring forth good fruit.

X. Sermon for Ash Wednesday An Exposition of the three crosses, that of Christ, that of the malefactor on His left, and that of the malefactor on His right hand, how they are a type of the sufferings of three classes of men who are, in a spiritual sense, nailed to these three crosses.

XIII. Sermon for Palm Sunday How a man ought in all His works to regard God alone, and purely to make Him his end without anything of his own, and shall freely and simply perform all these works for the glory of God only, and not seek his own, nor desire nor expect any reward. Wherewith he may do such works without any self-appropriation or reference to time and number, before or after, and without modes. How the Divine Word speaks and reveals itself in the soul, all in a lofty and subtile sense.

XIV. Sermon for Thursday in Easter Week How we ought to love God, and how Christ is a Master of the Eternal Good, wherefore we ought to love Him above all things; a Master of the Highest Truth, wherefore we ought to contemplate Him; and a Master of the Highest Perfectness, wherefore we ought to follow after Him without let or hindrance.

XVI. Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Easter How the Holy Ghost rebukes the World in man for sin, righteousness, and judgment; how hurtful it is to judge one’s neighbour; after what fashion a pious man may rebuke his neighbour; further, what the Holy Ghost teacheth when he cometh to us.

XXV. Sermon for St. Stephen’s Day Of three grades of those who learn to die unto themselves, like a corn of wheat, that they may bring forth fruit; or of those who are beginners, those who are advancing, and those who art perfect in a Divine life.
