Summary: "Modest Remarks upon the Bishop of London’s Letter Concerning the Late Earthquakes" by an anonymous author belonging to the Quaker community is a critical pamphlet written in the mid-18th century. It serves as a response to a letter issued by the Bishop of London regarding two recent earthquakes, addressing themes of morality and divine providence. The text contemplates the relationship between natural disasters and the moral state of society, suggesting a rational interpretation of such events rather than attributing them to divine judgment. In this pamphlet, the author critiques the Bishop’s message, arguing that his interpretation of the earthquakes as a form of divine retribution fails to engage with the more significant moral issues of the time. The author laments the state of society, discussing various sins that plague the population, such as the proliferation of bad literature and excessive indulgence in personal pleasures. Rather than focusing on specific events as punishments from God, the author emphasizes that a genuine reformation must begin with the moral conduct of the clergy, whose own actions set the example for the congregation. The pamphlet ultimately calls for a return to true Christian principles and a collective awakening to the virtues of repentance and humility, positing that without such changes, the societal decay will continue unabated.
