More Particularly Shewing, I. That Popery is a False and Unscriptural Religion. II. That it is opposite to the Civil Constitution and Liberty of this Kingdom. III.

A comparative view of the Act of Parl. of the 11th and 12th of King William against Popery; and the Act of last Session in favour of the Professors of that superstition in England. With a postscript, Giving a short Account of the Popish Bill, Lately passed in Ireland: and an appendix Containing a Copy of the above Two Acts.
