This sermon proclaims God's sovereignty over all as the basis for that perfect peace 'which passeth all understanding' (Phil. 4:7; Isa. 26:3). It further explains how to attain calmness of spirit, even in the most trying of times (and remember that the preacher and hearers of this message were being hounded as criminals for covenant faithfulness -- and often executed or imprisoned for not defecting to the Prelatical and Royalist beasts [which would have been contrary to the biblical vows which bound them in the Solemn League and Covenant]). This sermon also rebukes the enemies of Christ's covenanted Zion and assures the faithful of the Lord's ultimate and complete victory. It is ideal to listen to if you are ever discouraged, disquieted in spirit or distraught by the apparent success of those who oppose Christ's kingdom. It was also the last sermon Cameron preached (July 18, 1680), three days before he was killed at Ayrsmoss. 'Cameron spent the last night of his life at Meadowhead on the Water of Ayr. In the morning, when he had washed his hands, he looked upon them and said, 'This is their last washing; I had need to wash them clean, for there are many to see them'' (Sermons Delivered in Times of Persecution in Scotland, p. 380). He was killed in battle later that day.
