Title

The truth and excellence of the Christian religion asserted: against Jews, infidels and hereticks. In sixteen sermons, preached at the lecture founded by the Honourable Robert Boyle, Esq; for the years 1701, 1702. :, Wherein is shewn, that the evidence for this religion is the most unexceptionable; that it establishes and perfects the law; makes the clearest discoveries of a future state: and, accomplishes the prophesies of the Old Testament. That the belief of its doctrines is reasonable: the obedience required to its precepts practicable: the wisdom of the Gospel above any other religious institution; and it's divine authority prov'd from the successful propagation of it. /, By George Stanhope, Chaplain in Ordinary to His Majesty..
