“Early American imprint. 1728, Exceedingly rare example of early American religion, EARLY BOSTON, Divine Warnings, Williams Sermon, Puritan Sexuality Immorality. Printed in Boston in 1728! “William Williams’ “Divine Warnings” is a transcript of a sermon given on different scriptures in the hopes of calling specifically young people to turn away from sexuality, as it was seen during that time, and to Christianity. It was written down from a Sermon preached during two different occasions that resulted in many young people being baptized.”
