The uncommon first edition, posthumously published, of William Outram’s sermons. However, DNB states: “After his death Joseph Hindmarsh published under his name six 'Sermons upon Faith and Providence, and other subjects,' London, 1680, 8vo. It was stated that these discourses had been taken down in shorthand, but they are not genuine. In order to do justice to his memory, his relatives caused 'Twenty Sermons preached upon several occasions' to be published from 'the author's own copies,' by James Gardiner, D.D., afterwards bishop of Lincoln (2nd ed., corrected, London, 1697, 8vo).”. William Outram (1626 – 1679) was an English nonconformist minister, puritan and writer. His works often addressed issues such as predestination, the nature of God, and the role of faith in salvation.
