?Thomas Sherlock : Sermons

[Elizabeth Carter to Elizabeth Vesey, 8 December 1773:] 'When I recommended Sherlock's Sermons, I believe I did it with some exception; many, indeed most of them, are very excellent. Most of those in which he defends the general truth of Christianity, and answers the cavils of unbelievers, are writ with a clearness and a spirit which are seldom equalled. But in others he is obscure and confused, and seems either not to have understood himself, or not to have wished to be understood by others. Archbishop Secker's Sermons are absolutely free from these objections, and are, I think, upon the whole the most calculated to awaken the conscience and amend the heart, of any that perhaps were ever published.'
