Description
Attributed to Charles Leslie. cf. BM; erroneously attributed to Thomas Wagstaffe.
Sherlock's sermon had title, 'A sermon preached at the Temple-Church, December 30, 1694, upon the... death of our gracious Queen [Mary II]'.
Leslie's first letter dated March 6, 1695 (cf. first edition).
Although Mary II died on December 28, 1694, the funeral was delayed by the King until March 5, 1695. Archbishop Tenison was blamed for not exhorting her to a deathbed repentence on her father's account, and his funeral sermon, 'A sermon preached at the funeral of Her late Majesty Queen Mary... in the Abbey Church, in Westminster, upon March 5, 1694/5' was severely censured by Thomas Ken, bishop of Bath and Wells, in a public letter dated March 29. Tenison did not reply personally, but others acted on his behalf. 'A defence of the Arch-Bishop's sermon on the death of Her late Majesty' has been attributed to John Williams, bishop of Chichester.
