For those wishing to know: I spend a lot of time researching in Kensington 
archives, London, and they kindly had a dig to see what old pamphlets etc. 
they had, this being one.  It is rather tragic in that Elizabeth Cutts, 
who was in here 20's I think, had recently married Lord Cutts, but died 
shortly after giving birth, and her child didn't survive more than a week 
or so.  As an important figure Lord Cutts would expect a suitable sermon 
and no doubt the vicar, William Wigan, decided that publishing it would be 
useful to his career etc.  For all that, it tells very little of what 
happened.

All the best,
David
