===Sermons and treatises=== Cudworth's works included ''The Union of Christ and the Church, in a Shadow'' (1642); ''A Sermon preached before the [[United Kingdom House of Commons|House of Commons]]'' (1647); and ''A Discourse concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper'' (1670). Much of Cudworth's work remains in manuscript. However, certain surviving works have been published posthumously, such as ''A Treatise concerning eternal and immutable Morality, and A Treatise of Freewill. '' ====''A Treatise concerning eternal and immutable Morality'' (posth.)==== Cudworth's ''Treatise on eternal and immutable Morality'', published with a preface by [[Edward Chandler (bishop)|Edward Chandler]] (1731),<ref>R. Cudworth, ''Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality... with a Preface by... Edward Lord Bishop of Durham'' [https://archive.org/stream/treatiseconcerni00cudw#page/n5/mode/2up (1st edn, James and John Knapton: London, 1731)]</ref> is about the historical development of British moral philosophy. It answers, from the standpoint of [[Platonism]], Hobbes's famous doctrine that moral distinctions are created by the state. It argues that just as knowledge contains a permanent intelligible element over and above the flux of sense-impressions, so there exist eternal and immutable ideas of morality.<ref name=EB1911/> ====''A Treatise of Freewill'' (posth.)==== Another posthumous publication was Cudworth's ''A Treatise of Freewill'', edited by [[Chaplain of King's College London|John Allen]] (1838). Both this and the ''Treatise on eternal and immutable Morality'' are connected with the design of his ''magnum opus'', ''The True Intellectual System of the Universe''.<ref>{{cite book|author=Ralph Cudworth|title=Ralph Cudworth: A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality: With A Treatise of Freewill|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XZiig6ljKSoC&pg=PA219|year=1996|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-47918-9|page=219|editor=S.
