This is a sermon delivered by Devereux Jarratt before the convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, on May 3, 1792. Jarratt was a prominent figure in the Episcopal Church during the late 18th century, and this sermon provides valuable insight into the religious and social concerns of the time. The text offers a glimpse into the theological perspectives and moral teachings prevalent among Episcopalians in post-Revolutionary War Virginia. It reflects the challenges and opportunities faced by the church as it sought to establish itself in the newly formed United States.

This sermon is a significant historical document for those interested in the history of the Episcopal Church, religious life in early America, and the social and cultural landscape of Virginia during the late 18th century.
