et fentire que velit, et quæ fentiat dicere. This abfolute freedom of inquiry, it is apprehended, is the best way of investigating the sense of fcripture, the moft probable mean of producing an uniformity of opi nion, and of rendering the Gospel Difpenfation as intelligible to us in the eighteenth century as, we prefume, it was to the Chriftians in the firft. The true Doctrine of the new Teftament concerning Jesus Christ confidered; wherein the Mifreprefentations that have been made of it upon the Arian Hypothefis and upon all Trinitarian and Athanafian Principles are expofed; and the Honour of our Saviour's divine Character and Miffion is maintained. With an Appendix, containing Strictures upon the first Chapter of St. John's Gofpel; and a prefatory Difcourfe upon the Right of private Judgment in Matters of Religion. This work was revifed, before it was printed, by Dr. Lardner; the author (the Rev.

By Dan. Whitby, D.D. Lond. 1710. Whitby fays of himself in the preface to this work that he was brought up a Calvinist, and that what first moved him to examine into the truth of the Calviniftic Divinity, was the Imputation of Adam's Sin to all his Pofterity, and the strange confequences of it. He fays, that he examined the writings of antiquity, and finished a treatise on Original Sin in Latin, which had been compofed about twenty years, but which he had not thought it advifeable to pub lifh. This treatise was published in the following year. The divine Feudal Law, or Covenants with Mankind reprefented, together with Means for uniting of Proteftants. By Sam. Baron Puffendorf. Tranflated from the Latin by Theop. Dorrington. Lond. 1703. In this book Puffendorf treats of many of the fubjects which are difcuffed by Whitby in the laft article.

The first Ed. in 4to. in 1705.

Reflexions

.

Reflexions on Mr. Wall's Hiftory of Infant-Baptifm. By J. Gale. Lond. 1711. Wall's main argument in favour of Infant-Baptism, is founded on the practice which the Jews, he fays, had of baptizing profelytes to their religion: Dr. Gill has queftioned, in a learned tract, the Exiftence of fuch a practice amongst the Jews; and others have endeavoured to fhew, that, admitting the practice to have exifted, it was not extended to Children who were born after their parents had become profelytes; and confequently that the neceffity of baptizing children born of Chriftian parents cannot be inferred from the Jewish practice of baptizing profelytes. Socinus wrote a tract on this queftion, An homini Chriftiano aquæ baptifmo carere liceat? and he demined it in the affirmative.

The Scripture Doctrine of Atonement examined; firft in Relation to Jewish Sacrifices: and then to the Sacrifice of our bleffed Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift. By John Taylor, D.D.1751.

To which is added, Dr. Duchal's Letter to Dr. Taylor on the fame Subject; which was first published in the 2d. vol, of the Theological Repofitory. Before the publication of Dr. Taylor's Doctrine of Atonement, a very fenfible effay on Redemption had been published by Mr. Balguy, 1741.

To which is now added by another Gentleman, an Effay to prove the Credibility of the Gospel from the Doctrine of the Efficacy of Chrift's Death for the Redemption of the World. Lond. 1761. This is a very fenfible treatife (by Mr. Tomkins), in which the author endeavours to establish the literal fenfe of thofe paffages in Scripture which concern. our redemption by Chrift; he looks upon the death of Christ as a real facrifice, and reprefents the notion the Scripture gives us of these things as confiftent with the dictates of Reason and natural Religion. An Eflay on the Scheme and Conduct, Procedure and Extent of Man's Redemption; wherein is fhewn, from the holy Scriptures, that this great work is to be accomplished by a gradual Reftauration of Man and Nature to their primitive State.

Joan. Chrif. Beckii Synopfis Inftitutionum Univerfæ Theologiæ Naturalis et Revelatæ, &c. in ufum Auditorii Domeftici. Bafiliæ, 1765 This is a very good work; the author expreffes himself in the following terms concerning the mode of education which prevails in this place, and I believe in Oxford. Multis placet Anglorum difcendi ratio, quorum finguli juvenes, cum ad Academias fefe conferunt, unum ex publicis doctoribus fibi ducem ftudiorum eligunt, cujus fequentes confilium legant, meditentur, fcribant. Identidem examinantur, ut de progreffibus judicari queat et confilia ulteriora fuppeditari. Habet hæc methodus fua commoda. Sed incommodum iftud eft maximum, quod finguli doctores nonnifi paucis hoc modo dirigendis fufficiant, nifi ab omnibus aliis laboribus immunes fint, quod apud nos minime obtinetur. Our mode of academic inftitution is ftill more perfect than this author conceived it to be; and our Tutors have that freedom from other engagements which he wished for.

Gaftrel's Chriftian Inftitutes; Bp.
