Natural Religion, or that Train of Religious Prin∣ciples, and Duties resulting from 'em, which by a due use of Reason, Experience and Consideration alone, without the Discoveries of Revelation; a Man may conclude he is oblig'd to Believe and Practice: This being the Religion that all Mankind, meerly as Ratio∣nal Creatures, are oblig'd to, and without the know∣ledge and observation of which, the very Pagans themselves will be without excuse: It will be very re∣quisite, that every Divine should well understand the extent and end thereof, both that he may be able to warn his People, least under all the Advantages and Improvements in the Principles and Practice of Ver∣tue made by Christianity, they fall short of the very Heathens in both; and especially that they may perceive themselves, and let others see the inestimable advantages we Christians have receiv'd in manifold respects, by the Light of the Gospel, which gives us a much better Rule to walk by, and proposes infinite∣ly greater Rewards for our encouragement in so doing; and to this end therefore it will be very requisite he should be furnished with some or other of those many Books which have been so excellently written upon that Subsect.
