"A Letter from the Lord Bishop of London, to the Clergy and People of London and Westminster; On Occasion of the Late Earthquakes" by Thomas Sherlock is a religious treatise written in the early 18th century. This book addresses the moral and spiritual state of London and Westminster in the wake of recent earthquakes, using these natural disasters as a metaphorical call for repentance among the people. The text combines theological reflection with a warning about the consequences of societal wickedness and moral decline. In the letter, Bishop Sherlock urges his audience to reflect on their spiritual lives and warns of divine judgment resulting from their sinful behaviors. He observes the prevalence of immorality, blasphemy, and other societal vices, stressing how these issues threaten the fabric of society. Sherlock emphasizes that the earthquakes should be seen as a wake-up call for both personal and communal repentance; he calls for a renewed commitment to faith and moral living among the clergy and laity alike. He urges all to take personal responsibility in combating the moral decay surrounding them, while assuring them that God’s grace is available to those who genuinely seek repentance.
