Other works were on Future Judgment and on The Divine Providence. Sherlock first published this work in 1689, an examination of the concent of Divine Judgment and \'Judgment Day.\' At least another 17 editions were published before the end of the 18th century, making it one of the most popular religious books of the long 18th century.

All text pages present, including the Imprimatur page preceding the title, the block slightly toned and well maintained. The front contains a decession from the Valley Forge Museum, signed by W.

He attended the Philadelphia Divinity School of the Protestant Episcopal Church and earned a bachelor\'s degree in divinity from the University of Pennsylvania, eventaully becoming the rector of All Saints Church in Norristown, PA. It was from this pulpit that he delivered a speech on George Washington\'s birthday in 1903 on what he envisioned as a roadside chapel that would be a memorial to George Washington in Valley Forge. His original barnboard chapel even received the endorsement of President Theodore Roosevelt. He became the founder of the Washington Memorial Chapel and its first rector. He also decided that the chapel must have its own cemetery, which he was seen grading with a mule-drag. He was also the founder and curator of the Valley Forge Museum of American History, the founder and president of the Valley Forge Historical Society, the founder of the National Washington Memorial Church, and the inventor of the Pews of Patriotism, and received the Philadelphia Civic Award. He is buried near the western exit of the cemetery he founded.For more information on the Rev.
