The whole Satyr Consisting of nothing but Mad Reflections upon the Mad Steps that were lately taken by the Lower House of Convocation, (now most deservedly call'd The New Bedlam) in charging this Right Reverend Father in God with Dangerous Positions and Doctrines, in his Preservative and Sermon, Preach'd March 31. 1717, and contains A Secret History of the Raving Fits of the Pulpit-Lunaticks (or Convocation-Madmen) for above a Thousand Years, but more especially from Arch-Bishop Lauds High-Church Phrenzy down to their late Prorogation with A Distinct and Mad Character of the Atheism, Pride, Heresies and Treason of all those Dignify'd clergymen that have occasion'd the present Distraction both in Church and State.

Athenian sport: or, two thousand paradoxes merrily argued, to amuse and divert the age: as a paradox in praise of a paradox. Corporeal affections remain after separation. The eye beholds as much when it looks on a shilling, as when it speculates the whole Heaven. Inconstancy is a most commendable virtue. Every man is corporally born twice. No man sees but he that is stark blind. The restor'd maidenhead, or a marry'd woman may be twice a virgin. Athenian, or intellectual, sport is the recreation of pre-existent spirits. 'tis the pleasantest life to be always in danger. The same numerical voice of a preacher is not heard by any two of his auditors. What we call life, is natural death. Content is the greatest misery. He is the happiest man who has neither mony nor friend. Fruition's nothing, or a paradox proving there's no pleasure in copulation. To imprison a debtor is to set him at liberty. Green come from the dead, or no man lives but he that is hang'd. The virgin-paradox, or a young lady may love and hate the same person at the same time. The loving shrew, or the kindest women are the most cruel. And so on, to the defence of 2000 paradoxes (or pleasant theses) which seem strange, and contrary to the common opinion. With improvements from the Honourable Mr. Boyle, Lock, Norris Collier, Cowley, Dryden, Garth, Addison, and other illustrious wit. By a member of the Athenian Society.

The hereditary-Bastard: or, the royal-intreague of the warming-pan: fully detected, in a sermon upon these words, And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, Zech. 9. 6. Being a full answer to the Pretender's late declaration, wherein he affirms he has an indefeasible hereditar right to His Majesty's crown. This sermon was deliver'd (I can't say preach'd) in publick by a lay-man, and is now publish'd as his first essay to reform the pulpit, which (as appears by his Majesty's Directions to our Archbishops and Bishops) has been greatly profan'd by the bitter Invectives and scurrilous Language of some of the Clergy.
