The Analogy of Religion, natural and revealed, to the Conftitution and Courfe of Nature. By Jof. Butler, D. D. late Lord Bishop of Durham. Lond. 1754, 5th Ed. An Edition by Bishop Hallifax in 1788. TheReligion of Nature delineated. By Mr. Wollaston. Lond. 1750,7th Ed. Confiderations on the Theory of Religion: in three Parts.

1. Want of Univerfality in natural and revealed Religion, no juft Objection against either. 2. The Scheme of divine Providence with Regard to the Time and Manner of the feveral Difpenfations of revealed Religion, more especially the Christian. 3. The Progrefs of natural Religion and Science, or the continual Improvement of the World in general. To which are added, two Difcourfes; the former on the Life and Character of Chrift, the latter on the Benefits procured by his Death, in regard to our Mortality. With an Appendix, concerning the Ufe of the word Soul in holy Scripture; and the State of the Dead there defcribed. By Edw. Lord Bishop of Carlifle. Carlifle, 1784, Ed. 7th. An Efay on Miracles, in two Difcourfes. By Will. (Bishop) Fleetwood. Lond. 1701. The two main Principles of this Book,-that none but God can work a true Miracle,--and that it cannot be fuppofed that a true miracle was ever wrought in oppofition to a doctrine established on true miracles,-were oppofed by Mr. (Bishop) Hoadley, in a Letter to Mr. Fleetwood. Lond. 1702. And the reading thefe two tracts occafioned Mr. Locke's writing his discourse on Miracles, which he published in his works,

Traité fur les Miracles. Dans lequel on prouve que le Diable n'en fauroit faire pour confirmer l'erreur; où l'on fait voir, par plufieurs exemples tirés de l'Hiftoire fainte et profane, que ceux qu'on lui attribue ne font qu'un effet de l'impofture ou de l'addreffe des hommes.. Et où l'on examine le Syftême oppofé tel que l'a établi le Dr. Clarke dans fon Traité fur la Religion Naturelle et Chretienne. Par J. Serces, Vicaire d'Appleby dans le Comté de Lincoln. A Amtter. 1729.. The author fays in his preface, that in maintaining that God never permitted the devil to work miracles in fupport of any dangerous error, and in queftioning the phyfical power of the devil to effect a miracle, he declared war against the opinion of the most venerable theologians and philofophers ancient and modern. The book is well written, and I do not know that it has ever appeared in English. A Differtation on Miracles, defigned to fhew that they are Arguments of a divine Interpofition, and abfolute Proofs of the Miffion and Doctrine of a Prophet. By Hugh Farmer. Lond. 1771. The doctrine advanced in the preceding book, is very ably fupported in this. The reader will find in Werenfelfius' works the question,-Num Miracula certa fint Veritatis figna-determined, by various arguments, in the affirmative. The author, Mr. Farmer, was accused of having borrowed his Idea of Miracles from Mr. Le Moine's book on that subject; and he published a pamphlet, intitled, An Examination of Mr. Le. Moine's Treatife on Miracles, in which he fhews the difference of his plan from those of Mr. Le Moine, Dr. Sykes, and Bp. Fleetwood. A brief Difcourfe concerning the Credibility of Miracles and Revelation. Wherein the Credibility of Gospel Miracles is fhewn, notwithftanding all later Miracles may be rejected as fictitious. To which is added, a Poftfcript in Anfwer to the Lord Bishop of Litchfield's Charge

to

to his Clergy. By A. A. Sykes, D. D. Lond. 1742, and a fecond Ed. in 1749. Two Queftions, previous to Dr. Middleton's Free Inquiry impartially confidered: viz. What are the Grounds upon which the Credibility of Miracles, in general, is founded? And, Upon what Grounds the Miracles of the Gofpel, in particular, are credible? To which is added, a Differtation upon Mark xvi. 17-18. Thefe figns fall follow them that believe, &c. Lond. 1750, and a fecond Part in 1752, by Dr. Sykes. This author wrote above fixty different tracts: an edition of all his works would be useful.

And if that be admitted, furely we ought to learn no other leflon, from the diverfity of their opinions, except that of perfect moderation and good-will towards all thofe who happen to differ from ourselves. We ought to entertain no other wifh, but that every man may be allowed, without lofs of fame or fortune, et fentire quæ velit, et que

fentiat dicere. This abfolute freedom of inquiry, it is apprehended, is the best way of investigating the sense of Scripture, the most probable mean of producing an uniformity of opinion, 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.
