Early English Printed Sermons


A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

In-Text Our greatest danger commonly is our opinion that there is none; and we are most likely to be unsafe, by our too great aptness to be secure. Indeed in matters of little moment, concerning the Body, or the Purse, we need no Sermons against Security, or excitations to Circumspection. Very few there are that travell in times of danger, without a Pistol, or a Sword; or that in places of infection will walk the streets without an Amulet. Few Families go to bed, till they have made fast their Doors; and in the morning when they arise, their first care is to shut out Nakedness and Hunger. So that if it were a Sin to be in Poverty, or a scandalous matter to suffer Pain, there would be nothing so difficult, as not to abound in this Duty of Circumspection. But, alas!
