Deliverance from public dangers, a solemn call for a national reformation, set forth in a serious and compassionate address to the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland: Shewing, first, that our late wonderful deliverances, from the most imminent dangers, call aloud for a public and effectual repentance, and national reformation. Secondly, that the many national vices, still unrepented of, and publicly practised in these kingdoms, threaten us with more severe and terrible judgements. And, thirdly, that, if we will not break off our sins by righteousness, and our iniquities by a sober and godly life, we are not only guilty of the deepest ingratitude, but also of the greatest folly and madness; as such a conduct has a necessary tendency to bring on ourseves most certain and inevitable ruin and destruction. By a sincere lover of his country.
