Synopsis

A 1729 address on regicide, civil duty, and the balance of liberty and authority.

In this historical sermon, Joseph Trapp weighs the murder of a king against the rights and duties of subjects. It blends religious reflection with political argument to explore how liberty and power interact in a constitutional monarchy.

The work surveys the aftermath of regicide and the long shadow it cast on England. It argues that liberty and property are guarded by prudent, lawful government, and that the actions of rulers and their followers have lasting consequences for a nation.

  • Analyzes the premise of “the King’s blood” and the moral questions surrounding rebellion and obedience.
  • Discusses how government, law, and religion frame the balance of liberty and authority.
  • Considers the impact of political upheaval on Liberty, Property, and national peace.
  • Offers a historical perspective on accountability, governance, and civic duty.

Ideal for readers of historic political thought, religious rhetoric, and early modern English public discourse.
