Bowden starts by referring back to the gunpowder plot in which Fawkes together with a small group of English Catholics, attempted to assassinate the then protestant King James. After his assassination, they had a plan of replacing him with his catholic daughter in an attempt to make England a catholic state. After the introduction, the author reflects on popular issues concerning Catholicism and Protestantism, which saw the Catholic Church viewed as a cruel religion.

The author highlights a number of sermons that were directed at thwarting the cruelties of the Roman Catholic Church and its popish atrocities. These sermons also glorified the Anglican denomination above the Catholic Church. Bowden further illustrates how the image of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder plot has moved from the spiritual perspective into the temporal world.

The third guiding principle was that the knowledge of Christianity must be attended by its practice. The fourth and most important principle was that the training of theology in the universities should be reorganized in order to provide more prominence to devotional life. And lastly the author claims that this movement advocated for a change in the styles of preaching, from a pleasing rhetoric tone to a life impacting one.
