520 _a"A Funeral Sermon Preach'd on the Decease of the Right Honourable the Lady Elizabeth Cutts" by William Wigan is a religious sermon written in the late 17th century. This piece takes the form of a commemorative address delivered in memory of Lady Elizabeth Cutts at Kensington Church, following her untimely death. The sermon reflects on themes of mortality, righteousness, and the hope of eternal life, illustrating Wigan's theological reflections on death and the afterlife based on Christian beliefs. The content centers on a meditation on the life of Lady Cutts, emphasizing her virtuous character, devout life, and untimely passing at a young age. Wigan underscores the importance of living a righteous life in preparation for death, positing that true consolation comes from faith in Jesus Christ. The sermon delivers a poignant reminder of humanity’s vulnerability, urging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the nature of their mortality.
