A gentleman's religion: . in three parts. The Ist. contains the principles of natural religion. The 2d. and 3d. The doctrines of Christianity, both as to faith and practice. With an appendix, wherein it is proved, that nothing contrary to our reason can possibly be the object of our belief: but that it is no just exception against some of the doctrines of Christianity, that they are above our reason.
