Observing a Sacred Day in the Country urged in 1765
A letter from 1765 argues for strict church attendance and civil penalties to enforce a sacred day. It urges ministers to lead prayers and preaching, and officers to punish tavern keepers and laborers who ignore religious observance, aiming to implant the memory of the Redeemer’s death in the vulgar. It cites England’s towns versus countryside and laments leisure at alehouses and diversions.
