Synopsis

This book is an enthusiastic discourse on the spiritual, civil, and political obligations of British citizens following the coronation of King George. The author draws extensively from the bible to illustrate the importance of loyalty, not only to one's monarch, but also to the ideals of Protestantism, freedom, and national unity. The sermon is liberally infused with classical references and examples to make the case for patriotism. The author warns that division, sedition, and disloyalty will incur God's wrath and punishment, and implores Britons to maintain their religious and political integrity, cultivate national unity, and support their government. The sermon celebrates the Protestant Succession and the defeat of the Jacobite cause, presenting the new era as a divine opportunity for national renewal and prosperity.
