[Milton-L] early modern sermons

[Conrad Bladey]

I have been working on sermons for a while now. I have andrewes 
gunpowder plot sermon and I think one other on the web....the other one 
is the first such sermon....try the gunpowder plot pages...

I have found that there are a considerable number of sermons on the 
Early English Books Database. These are searchable by topic keyword I 
think although cant remember if you select a few sermons to search or 
must search the entire database. I use EEB at Hopkins in 
Baltimore....cyber one armed bandits....addictve...

Have fun...
