Remarks upon Mr. Clarke's sermons, preached at St. Paul's against Hobbs, Spinoza, and other atheists. Wherein 'tis Demonstrated: I. That Mr. C. by the Sceptical Hypothesis he imploys, Absolutely cuts off all Possible Means of Knowing the Nature, or of Proving the Existence of the One Only True God, against Hobbs, Spinoza, or any other Atheists whatever. II. That in Reference to God, or Spirits, he reduces Humane Understanding, to the most Incurable State of Scepticism. These Two Particulars are Handl'd and Prov'd Geometrically. III. The Reasons are produced which convince the Author of this Paper, that those Sermons do rather Establish than Destroy, do rather Confirm than Confute Spinoza's Hypothesis.

The sceptism and fundamental errors establish'd in Samuel Clark's sermons, preach'd at St. Paul's, more fully discovered. [Being a def]ence of the remarks upon Mr. C's first volume of sermons, besides the contents of the said Remark's, and the nature of the demonstrations they contain more fully made to ... most of the following particulars are proved in a regular ... method; and the rest evidently made out, viz. ... Mr. G. has establish'd, so he owns Spinoza's hypothesis of material substance, in his pretended answer to the remarks. ... he makes creation absolutely impossible. ... the makes the essence of atheism, to consist in not being essen... originally, and fundamentally an atheist. ... that he makes, what he calls, God, a necessary agent. ... [th]at he reduces him to an absolute necessity of fate. That he makes it absolutely impossible for him to comply with any prayers directed to him; and consequently makes prayers and thanksgivings vain and useless. That he makes it impossible for him to alter or change the circumstances of men, either for the better or for the worse. That he fundamentally subverts the grounds of natural religion, and all genuine morality. The subject of his second volume of sermons. The author of the Remark's reputation is rescued from his undigested aspersions.

The case of the learned represented according to the merit of the ill progress hitherto made in arts and sciences, chiefly in philosophy, of which the author gives an entire new system: Shewing, I. The cause of gravity and attraction, otherwise speaking, of attraction and repulsion, how and after what manner nature thereby produces all its most important effects, chiefly in respect to the planetary and animal motion; which he shews to be very far from depending either on the Cartesian or Newtonian principles. II. What nature is, and the effects it is capable of; as also the true difference between the effects of God and those of nature, and thereby renders the existence of God and the immortality of the soul absolutely indisputable, even to the most confirmed atheists, and shews that Sir Isaac Newton, instead of having prov'd those most important points, and establish'd natural religion better than ever any philosopher did, Has he and his disciples pretend, he has entirely disprov'd them, and overturn'd both natural and reveal'd religion. III. How and after what manner vice may be suppress'd, and virtue encreased in the world. IV. How arts and sciences may soon be brought to, and continue at their point of perfection, and to establish a sole Christian faith all over the world. The whole grounded upon phn̆omena, well made experiments, and irresistible arguments, contained in two letters to the Royal Society, one relating to mechanics, and the other to philosophy, &c.
