This is a reproduction of William Cleaver's sermon, The Doctrine Of A Future State Necessary To The Welfare And Support Of Civil Government, delivered at the Assizes held at Warwick on March 28, 1739. Cleaver argues for the essential role of belief in an afterlife in maintaining social order and effective governance. He posits that the expectation of divine judgment and reward or punishment is crucial for instilling moral responsibility and encouraging adherence to laws, especially where human laws are insufficient. The sermon explores the relationship between religious belief, moral obligation, and the stability of civil society, offering insights into 18th-century perspectives on the foundations of government and the influence of religious doctrine on political thought.
