Includes: The spiritual temple; a discourse preached at the opening of the new church, by the Rev. Robert Gordon.
Clason's sermon is on 1 Samuel, vii, 12 and Gordon's is on 1 Kings, chap. vi., v. 7.
The sermons were preached when the Free Buccleuch congregation was moving from their temporary building to their new building in West Crosscauseway, Edinburgh. Patrick Clason was the senior minister, with Robert Gordon, the son of Dr Robert Gordon, the other minister of the Free Buccleuch. "Clason preached the closing sermon in the original church and Robert Gordon, ordained in 1854, preached the first sermon in the new building. These sermons, based on the text 1 Samuel 7:12 and 1 Kings 4:7, were subsequently printed for distribution" (Constituted and Closed with Prayer, A Short History of Free Greyfriars to mark the Centenary of its union with Free Buccleuch in 1897, p.8). The  new church was opened in December, 1856.
