This recording was read from the Original handwritten manuscript (Yale University) from Jonathan Edwards; dated June 1741.

International Outreach Ministries and Soli Deo Gloria ministries have transcribed his sermons from the Yale Beinecke Rare Book Room, and I wish they would have corrected the manuscripts.
