Summary "The Religious and Loyal Subject's Duty Considered: With Regard to the Present Government and the Revolution" by Isaac Terry is a sermon delivered in the Cathedral Church of Canterbury on January 30, 1723, during the early 18th century. The book serves as a theological and political treatise that emphasizes the responsibilities of subjects towards their sovereign, particularly in the context of maintaining loyalty and order in society following past political upheaval. The sermon reflects the concerns of the time regarding rebellion and civil disorder, advocating for reverence towards God and the monarchy. In the sermon, Terry articulates three key duties that he believes should guide the behavior of loyal subjects: to fear the Lord, to fear the King, and to avoid involvement with those who seek to instigate change through rebellion. He stresses that true loyalty requires not just passive obedience, but active support of the monarch's authority and an understanding of the importance of lawful government. Drawing on the tragic history of King Charles I’s execution, he warns against the dangers of rebellion and disloyalty, arguing that even discontent must be channeled through lawful means. Ultimately, Terry's message is a call for unity, piety, and steadfast loyalty to both divine authority and the governance of the state. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
