A supplement, or third volume, was added in 1756. It was later published as a two volume work with a few alterations. ' One of the ablest champions against the deists, and for the defence of Christianity, that ever lived in any age or nation ; and his works will remain as immortal monuments of clear, fair masculine reasoning, and convincing demonstration, as long as reason and the world shall endure.
