Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an early celebration of the triumphant British victory over the French in Quebec. The author, the first minister of a Portsmouth parish, uses the victory as an occasion to reflect on the relationship between good kings and their effect on national prosperity, as well as on the Christian duty to recognize God's role in earthly events. Citing Psalm 21, the author posits that the military success Britain has experienced under King George II is a sign of God's pleasure and favor. The author urges his readers to observe how God takes particular care of nations that uphold true religion, and further notes that God will also discomfit those kings who are wicked tyrants. Beyond its historical and religious insights, this book is also notable as an early example of patriotism and a celebration of British identity.
