The Righteousness of the Lord's Judgments Asserted; Or, a Call to Such as Love to Fare Sumptuously Every Day to Bring Their Deeds Unto the Light

The Righteousness Of The Lord's Judgments Asserted; Or, A Call To Such As Love To Fare Sumptuously Every Day To Bring Their Deeds Unto The Light by Thomas Goouch. This 1822 pamphlet from Waterford is a religious and social critique that condemns covetousness as idolatry and root of evil, and denounces economies of wealth and power that pervert religion. It targets merchants, lawyers, and clergy, arguing that their pursuit of gain corrupts public life and spiritual truth. The work condemns Mystery Babylon and calls for emancipation from worldly systems, urging readers to bring their deeds to light and to repent, embracing the gospel’s inner transformation rather than external forms. It promotes a New Covenant faith written on the heart, critiques the church’s adherence to wealth and hierarchy, and exhorts rulers to govern justly in humility and righteousness. Throughout, the author cites scripture to advocate a life of simple, sincere devotion to Christ and a universal, Spirit-led liberty that undermines worldly power.
