Of the Devil; that he is no where to be found, but incarnate in Man. IV. Of the Soul's dying with the Body till the Resurrection, shewing that the Notion of an immaterial Soul distinct from the Body, is an inconceivable philosophical Absurdity, and against the whole Tenor of the Scripture.

VI. Of Predestination. Vii. A philosophical manner of accounting for the Resurrection. Faithfully collected from a curious manuscript, found among the papers of Tho. Tomkinson, gent.
