If there is then still time for one or two more sermons — as one might indeed begin already in the week before the first Sunday in Advent — let one preach either on the clearest types, taking as a basis Heb. 9:1–10 or Col. 2:16–17, or else let one expound, following 1 Chron. 18:9–19, the promise concerning Christ given to David, for which Dr. Luther's exposition of David's last words may be used.
