The Ministerial Duty Set Forth is a printed sermon delivered by Richard Newton before the University of Oxford in June 1740. Preached on a text appointed by the late Reverend William Master, A.M., this anniversary sermon articulates Newton's perspective on the duties and responsibilities inherent in Christian ministry. Addressed to an educated audience of Oxford scholars, the work offers insights into 18th-century religious thought and the expectations placed upon clergymen of the period. Newton's sermon provides a valuable historical snapshot of religious practice and intellectual discourse within the academic setting of Oxford University.
