Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. A sermon from 1715, this book presents arguments against the Jacobite rebellion against the newly instated Protestant King George I, and for the preservation of the Protestant Succession. The author rhetorically excoriates the rebels and their supporters and explains how the uprising seeks to replace the King with a Pretender whose true aim is to restore absolute popery to the British Isles. The sermon goes on to explain that the Jacobite uprising is fueled by delusion, since the supporters have ignored the Pretender's actual politics in favor of false promises that pander to their fears. The author, a staunch Whig and supporter of the Revolution of 1688, argues that the uprising is both illegal and a mortal threat to the Protestant establishment, the Church of England, and the British constitution. This book is a valuable glimpse into how the supporters of the new regime perceived the Jacobite uprising, and how religious arguments were used to bolster political ones in the age of confessional warfare.
