Synopsis

This sermon, preached before the House of Commons on the anniversary of King Charles I's execution, is a profound reflection on the devastating consequences of strife and contention. The author, a renowned theologian and chaplain to the king, skillfully employs the biblical parable of water to illustrate how minor disputes can rapidly escalate into uncontrollable and catastrophic conflicts. Through a detailed analysis of the parable, the sermon delves into the insidious nature of strife, its destructive impact on society, and the importance of seeking reconciliation before it's too late. This fascinating historical document offers valuable insights into the dangers of division, the fragility of peace, and the enduring relevance of seeking unity and harmony in the face of adversity.
