Strong sets the stage of this sermon: "Although the holy scriptures were not primarily written for a book of political instruction to mankind, they contain much which ought to be seriously studied by the rules of a free and christian people. The church and civil state are so connected, in events which take place, that the information God hath been pleased to give the former, may often be improved by the latter to great advantage" (p. 3). While the sermon is largely focused on the Bible passages supporting generalities, there are glancing blows to contemporary events. In one instance, Strong contends, "that there shall never be another universal tyrannical dominion. It may be attempted, and we have reason to suppose that it is now attempted, by the infidels of France, and their emissaries in other countries, but God will blast their designs." An interesting sermon by the pastor of the North Presbyterian Church in Hartford, Connecticut and founder of the Connecticut Evangelical Magazine; not terribly common in commerce.
