My object in the prefent publi cation, as well as in thofe which have preceded it, is to overturn, as far as my endeavours can efl'eét 1t, What I deem to' be a prejudice of the greatel't antiquity, and the deep eft rooted, of any that have con tributed to debafe chriptianity, and a corruption which, in this philo fophical age, calls_the loudefi for reformation. And though this Will ne'ceflarily defiroy fome ?attering hopes rcfpeé'ring our profpeéts after death, they are {inch as are ill found ed, and it Will draw our attention more firongly to thofe more certain, though mare air/3am profpeé'ts, that chrifiianity holds out to us.
