Synopsis

A focused look at law, monarchy, and public duty in early 18th‑century London.

This nonfiction work presents a cathedral preacher’s reflections on the balance between royal authority and the rights of the governed. It examines the shocks to government and religion when a sovereign is challenged, and it analyzes how law and Parliament shape national duty.

  • Understand the historical context of a city sermon delivered before the Lord Mayor, touching on governance, legitimacy, and public conscience.
  • Explore how the text weighs the tensions between royal prerogative, popular consent, and the rule of law.
  • See how moral reflections on leadership, accountability, and civic responsibility are framed for late‑Baroque England.
  • Consider the enduring questions this address raises about virtue, authority, and the responsibilities of citizens.
Ideal for readers of historical theology, political philosophy, and early modern public life, especially those interested in how religious discourse intersected with constitutional ideas.
