MR. LYMAN'S ELECTION SERMON. MAY 30, 1787

Booklet transcript of "A sermon, preached before His Excellency James Bowdoin, Esq. governour; His Honour Thomas Cushing, Esq. lieutenant-governour; the Honourable the Council, and the Honourable the Senate, and House of Representatives, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 30, 1787. Being the day of general election. / By Joseph Lyman, Pastor of the church in Hatfield." "Printed by Adams and Nourse, printers to the Honourable the General Court."

The sermon generally seems to make the case that good government is an extension of God's law, and implore legislators to seek His council. This 64 page booklet exhibits typical wear to the paper cover but appears complete and in excellent condition otherwise. Measures 4 1/2 x 7 1/4".
