At the End of which, is a short Discourse on Deism. Part II. The autho relates a discourse that pass'd between a friend and himself: In which Discourse, his Friend recounts several Dialogues that pass'd between a Jew and himself, at Amsterdam; in which, the Former delivers his Thoughts concerning Religion. And also endeavours, philosophically, to prove, That the Soul is an immaterial Substance: And, that even granting it Matter, to be impossible for the Mind to perish at the Dissolution of the Body.
