The exemplar. [electronic resource] : Being an exposition of the prophecies of Daniel and St. John, relating to the fourth and last kingdom, viz. the Roman: and now, from recent facts and continuing signs, on a sufficiently-proved improved system. With a previous dissertation, manifesting the scriptural doctrine of the trinity, and orthodoxy antichristian. To which is added, an address admonitory to the members of the Roman communion: some occasional observations and reflections, chiefly of a moral nature, to elucidate the subject, and establish the belief of a particular providence, and as incentives to virtue in general, being interspersed through the whole: the doctrine of the intermediate state is occasinally illustrated; a separation proved; and shewing, that any lifeless unconscious condition of the soul in the body henceforth, is contary to reason, Christianity, and even its own natural essence and inherent principle. Together with some physical conjectures on the nature and use of comets; and particularly that which hath new (1767) lately appeared: from whence the ceaseless rotation and scale of God's proceeding in his creative power, and the tendency given to all nature towards perfection, is deduced, with great appearance of prohability. By a Lay gentleman, and Member of the Church of England, who in 1752-3 began this, as the best sort of amusement to pass away some months in winter. Honorate, diligite, timete.
