Resolves: Divine, Moral, and Political is a book written by Owen Felltham and originally published in 1623. This edition, published in 1806, is a collection of essays that cover a wide range of topics, including religion, ethics, politics, and human nature. The book is divided into three parts, each containing a series of short essays that explore different aspects of these subjects.In the first part, Felltham discusses various theological topics, such as the nature of God, the importance of prayer, and the role of faith in salvation. He also explores the concept of sin and the need for repentance, as well as the idea of predestination and the relationship between God's sovereignty and human free will.The second part of the book deals with moral issues, such as the importance of honesty, the dangers of pride, and the virtues of patience and perseverance. Felltham also discusses the role of education in shaping moral character and the importance of cultivating good habits and virtues.In the third and final part of the book, Felltham turns his attention to political topics, such as the nature of government and the relationship between rulers and their subjects. He also discusses the importance of justice and the need for a just society, as well as the dangers of tyranny and the importance of protecting individual rights and freedoms.Throughout the book, Felltham draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, classical literature, and contemporary political and philosophical writings. His writing is characterized by a clear and concise style, and his insights into human nature and the human condition are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published over 400 years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
