AI notes: In 1707, Sir William Dawes delivered a sermon titled The True Meaning of the Eternity of Hell-Torments, which reflected the 18th-century Anglican Church's emphasis on divine justice and eternal punishment. Preached during his tenure as Chaplain to Queen Anne, the sermon argued for a literal and everlasting interpretation of hell, countering more lenient or metaphorical views. Dawes emphasized that the eternal nature of divine punishment was necessary to uphold God’s moral law and to deter sin, framing it as both a warning to the wicked and a call to repentance. The sermon was later published in a collection of his works that same year.
