The Nature of the Creation of our Globe the Earth, and Remarks upon the Deluge, with Divine Inferences from every Particular. V. The Ninth Chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans cleared from the rigid and uncharitable Doctrines of absolute Election and Reprobation, and the contrary proved therefrom; with Remarks upon the pernicious Consequences that have attended those Doctrines, as being destructive of the Nature of Religion and Virtue.

A prospect into the spiritual world : whereby may be observed, I. That all created, active, spiritual existences are immaterial and immortal; and that Matter, as mere Matter, has no Property of Intelligence belonging to it; but that whatever Intelligence inhabits material Organs may be easily separated from them, but will not thereby cease to exist; from which, Mr. Lock's Belief that the Souls of Men are immaterial, is strengthened; and the Difficulties, he laboured under to ascertain it, removed. II. The State of Spirits, when separated from their material Habitations. III. The nature of spiritual bodies, after the Resurrection. &c | |
