"The Works of Richard Hurd, Volume 7" by Richard Hurd is a collection of theological writings and sermons authored in the late 18th century. This volume primarily consists of sermons preached at Lincoln's Inn between 1765 and 1776, exploring themes of morality, faith, and the nature of God. Hurd’s works aim to provide insight into Christian doctrine, morality, and the human condition in relation to divinity. The opening of this volume presents a detailed discussion of Felix, a Roman governor from the Book of Acts, highlighting a sermon in which the author addresses themes of procrastination and moral accountability. Hurd reflects on Felix's encounter with the Apostle Paul, illustrating how Felix's indecision and desire to postpone repentance led to spiritual stagnation. He draws parallels to contemporary listeners, encouraging self-reflection and immediate action in their spiritual lives, emphasizing the danger of delaying necessary repentance despite the clear call to change. The sermon serves both as a historical analysis and a moral exhortation, inviting readers to consider their own tendencies toward procrastination in matters of faith.
