"The Works: In Ten Volumes" by John Tillotson is a collection of late 17th-century Anglican sermons that blends doctrinal exposition with practical exhortation. The excerpt gathers four sermons (Sermon XLII–XLV) delivered in prominent London settings (Whitehall and St Lawrence Jewry) and demonstrates Tillotson's method: rigorous scriptural argument, polemical defense of Protestant orthodoxy, and earnest instruction on personal and domestic piety. XLII condemns evil-speaking and offers guidelines for truthful, charitable speech; XLIII–XLV develop Christology—emphasizing the Word’s pre-existence, divinity, the Trinity, and the incarnation—and argue against Socinian interpretations. Across the series, Tillotson treats Scripture as the primary rule of faith while showing how doctrine shapes family life, education, and civil order. The tone is combative yet pastoral, using Scripture, patristic witness, and church history to urge steadfastness, virtue, and a godly life in late Stuart England.
