Righteousness the way to avert impending judgments, and the certain method to secure the divine protection. [electronic resource] : A sermon preached in the parish-church of St. Matthew, Friday-Street, upon February 11, 1757, being the day appointed, by proclamation, for a general fast and humiliation before Almighty God; to be observed in the most devout and and solemn manner by sending up our prayers and supplications to the divine Majesty; for obtaining pardon of our sins, and for averting those heavy judgments, which our manifold provocations have most justly deserved. And imploring the divine blessing and protection upon His Majesty's arms by sea and land, and for restoring and perpetuating peace, safety and prosperity to himself and to His Kingdoms. By the Reverend Mr. Smith, preacher of the Sunday morning and Thursday afternoon lectures in the parish church of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, which are supported by the worshipful Company of Haberdashers.
