The use and intent of prophecy, and history of the Fall; cleared from the objections in Dr. C. Middleton's examination of the Lord Bishop of London's discourses concerning them. With some cursory animadversions on a letter, &c. to Dr. Waterland in 1731. In which is shewn I. That the Use of Prophecy, as it was taught and practised by Christ and his Apostles, was drawn from the Law and Prophets, as one continued Chain of Predictions: That the Law began with Adam; that the flaming Sword turning every way was the Ninbus and Chariot of the Cherubim, an Exhibition of the Powers in this System, with Christ upon a Throne above it; and that Sacrifice was a standing Prophecy, and consequently that his Lordship's Chain of Prophecie, is a golden one, that reached from Eden to Christ. II. That the Account of the Fall is true History, and not Apologue. III. That Dr. Middleton is not acquainted with the State of the Evidence for Christianity, and has been speaking Evil of those Things which he knows not. By Julius Bate, A.M.

An appeal to the genuine records and testimonies of heathen and Jewish writers; in defence of Christianity. By Thomas Dawson, D. D. Vicar of New Windsor; some Time Member of Convocation. Part I. 1. An appeal to the works of Phlegon, Thallus, and other Heathen Writers; as Evidence for the miraculous Eclipse at Christ's Passion. 2. An Appeal to the Chinese Records; proving that Eclipse to be Universal, as well as Supernatural. 3. An Appeal to the Confession made by the Emperor Titus, of the miraculous Proceedings of Heaven in the final Destruction of Jerusalem; attested by Tacitus and Josephus; which was fulfilling the Prophecy made by Christ, (luke xxi. 24.) with which Prophecy Phlegon was acquainted. 4. An Appeal to the present Desolation of Jerusalem; as concerning another Prophecy of Christ, (luke xxi. 24.) which is Yet accomplishing, viz. That Jerusalem should not be rebuilt, "till the "times of the Nations be fulfilled. 5. An appeal to the Emperor Julian's attempts to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem, that he might elude that Prophecy; as also to the Miracles that attended the Attempt; as related by Amm. Marcellinus, and other unquestionable Authors. Part II. 1. A defence of the several testimonies of Phlegon, Thallus, Jul. Africanus, &c. concerning the miraculous Eclipse at Christ's Passion, against the late Objections made by Dr. Sykes. 2. The different Supputation of Years about Christ's Death plainly adjusted; and there by Dr. S's greatest Objection to Phlegon's Testimony entirely remov'd. 3. The Expressions of several ancient Writers, concerning the miraculous Darkness at Christ's Passion, compar'd one with the other; and thence shewn, that such Darkness at Christ's Passion was Universal. 4. A farther Appeal to the Chinese Records, for proving the Universality of such Darkness; taken from the Testimonies of P. Bonvet, and his Adversary P. Gaublin; as also from other Authentick Accounts lately transmitted to the Royal Society. 5. Two test passages, taken from Justin Martyr and Tertullian, propos'd to the Consideration of Dr. S. and speedy Justice required to be done to those injur'd Ante-Nicene Fathers.

David's prophecy; relating to C--b--ge, (found among the papers of a certain rabbi, famous for a Collection of all the Prophecies from the Beginning of the World to this Day.) With an account of its accomplishment in that U-y. By Isaac Van-Sampson, A learned Dutch Commentator. Dedicated to the V- C-r, H-ds, and Mr. B- the P-r. In the introduction to this undertaking, these following points are chiefly considered. I. That the use and intent of this prophecy of David, is to shew that the transactions at C-ge are the immediate work of G---d, and are accountable for on this Principle and no other, and is to be drawn from single and separate Predictions, gathered from the Psalms of David, and applied independently on each other to the several Acts and Circumstances of the V-C-r, P-r, and the H-ds, as so many distinct Proofs of their being the Ministers only of God's Vengeance. II. That by this Means the Characters of these Gentlemen are cleared from those ill-natured Aspersions thrown upon them in the News-Papers, and those libellous Pamphlets the F-gm-ts. III. The Dispute between the B-p of L-n and his Friend Dr. M-n on Prophecy, is considered, and it is shown how far our's is concerned in that Dispute. IV. Thomas L-nd-n's Letter on the late Earthquakes, is shown to be greatly concerned in our Prophecy, and many useful Consequences are drawn from that most useful Work.
