A Sermon Preached Before the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London, at the Church of St. Mary Le Bow, September the Second, 1684 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A powerful early modern sermon that links a city's disaster to its daily choices, and calls for public repentance.
This historical address, delivered for London’s mayor, aldermen, and citizens, frames the Great Fire of 1666 as a wake-up call.

- Invites readers to reflect on repentance, reform, and communal responsibility
- Uses historical examples to discuss the causes and consequences of national calamities
