About This Book
A sermon preached at Canterbury on the anniversary of King Charles I's martyrdom argues that loyal subjects must observe three duties: fear God, fear the sovereign, and avoid siding with those who promote upheaval. The preacher explains fear of God as the foundation of religion and moral obedience; fear of the king as filial submission, support for public order, and respect for magistrates; and warns that those who embrace changeable, rebellious principles threaten civil peace. He connects prayer, material assistance, and public esteem with the preservation of government and denounces parricide and sedition as destructive to church and state.
