Synopsis
A Discourse To Prove That The Strongest Temptations Are Conquerable By Christians, Or, A Sober Defence Of Nature And Grace, Against The Cavils, And Excuses Of Loose Inconsiderate Men: In A Sermon Preach'D Before The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor Of London, And Court Of Aldermen, The 14Th Of. George Hickes presents a late 17th?century Anglican sermon preached before the Lord Mayor and court of Aldermen in 1683. The work argues that no temptation is irremediable for a Christian when aided by divine grace, and that the Christian life can resist sin through steadfast faith, mortification, patience, and self?denial. Hickes supports his claim with biblical exegesis (notably that God provides a way to escape temptation) and with historical examples of martyrdom and virtuous endurance. He contends that grace is the perfection of virtue—a moral and theological foundation for resisting worldly allurements, preserving civil order, and promoting practical godliness. The discourse therefore aims to reconcile strong religious duty with social responsibility, urging ministers and magistrates to uphold Gospel virtues as essential to public life.
