Witherspoon was a Scottish-American Presbyterian minister who served as the president of the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton University) during the American Revolution. The sermon explores the relationship between human emotions and the will of God. Witherspoon argues that God has the power to control human passions and desires, and that individuals must submit to God's will in order to live a virtuous life. He also discusses the importance of self-control and the dangers of giving in to one's passions, as well as the role of religion in shaping moral behavior.Witherspoon's sermon was widely read and influential during the American Revolution, as it spoke to the idea of divine providence and the belief that God was on the side of the American colonists in their struggle for independence. The text is still studied today as an important piece of American religious and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
