In this article, we analyze a series of funeral sermons, published throughout the seventeenth century in the Iberian monarchies. As proposed by Adolfo Hansen, we comprehend the "seventeenth century" as the duration of the "Catholic politics" of the Iberian expansion, identified as anti- Machiavellian and anti-reformist, which limits are the beginning of the Iberian Union (1580), and the death of Dom John V (1750). Within this chronological cleavage, we sought to understand the influence that this set of discourses exerted in the political experience of these societies, concerning their relation with time, which contributed to the configuration of the power relations.
