sermons by that author and inquires whether any other
sermons or tracts of his were published, which are not included in the
two posthumous volumes?

Now it has struck me that a volume of sermons in my possession may,
from the nature of the subjects, be Stephens's, but whether included
in the volume alluded to I know not. The volume contains six sermons,
each with separate title and separate pagination. A common preface is
prefixed, and there has been a common title-page, which unfortunately
is missing in my copy.

"Serm. I. The Divinity of Christ argued, from his right
to worship, on Rev. v. 13, 14., preached in 1720, at
Great Torrington, at the Visitation of the Archdeacon of
Barnstaple."

"II. The necessity of believing the Divinity of the Son of
God, John iii. 16., preached at Great Torrington on Christmas
Day, 1721."

"III. The Humiliation and Exaltation of the Son of God
considered in the new light, Philipp. ii. 6-12., preached
at the primary Visitation of Stephen [Weston] Lord Bishop of
Exon, at Great Torrington, 1726."

"IV. Christ, King of the Jews both before and after his
Incarnation, Matt. ii. 1, 2., preached on Christmas Day and
First Sunday after Epiphany, 1727."

"V. The Beginning, Extent, and Duration of Christ's
Mediatorial Kingdom, same text, and preached at the same
season."

"VI. The natural supremacy of God the Son; same text, &c."

The three last sermons have a title generally applicable, and repeated
before each viz., "The Supreme Dominion of God the Son, both Natural,
Oeconomical, and Judaical, proved from Scripture, in three Sermons."
The separate titles bear date 1729; and the publisher was Samuel Birt,
at the Bible and Ball, Ave Maria Lane.

This notice may supply the information of which Mr. Denton is in
quest, and at all events I should be very glad to learn who the author
really was. His sermons are, as is said of those of Stephens, far
above the ordinary run. The period at which they were delivered
agrees with the dates of those at page 118. The author, in the general
preface, says, that Sermon II. was not "suffer'd to see the light
before it had pass'd through the hands of _Dr. Waterland_." Was not
Stephens subsequently Vicar of St. Andrew's, Plymouth?
