A publication of poetry composed by John Wesley's father, Samuel Wesley (1662-1735), in praise and remembrance of Queen Mary II and John Tillotson, Archbishop of Canterbury. Both Queen Mary and the Archbishop had passed away the previous year, in 1694.
Samuel Wesley was a staunch supporter of Queen Mary and the Archbishop in the 1690s and dedicated other poetic work to the Queen. This alliance may have assisted him in obtaining the appointment to the Rectory of Epworth a few years later, in 1697.
