A Sermon Preached Before the Honourable House of Commons at Their Late Solemn Fast Wednesday, March 27, 1644 by George Gillespie.

Preached before Parliament on a solemn fast day in 1644, this sermon from Ezekiel 43:11 argues that true reformation requires genuine national humiliation. Gillespie contends that England cannot receive God's pattern for the church until the nation is first ashamed of its sins. He expounds Ezekiel's temple vision as a prophecy of a more glorious future church, surveys signs of its coming, and calls Parliament and the Westminster Assembly to urgent, scripture-governed reformation without delay.
