Small 8vo (in 4s), pp. [ii], x, 76, stitched as issued, original wrappers; perimeters frayed, spine defective. Bowman is described on the title-page as "Vicar of Martham, Norfolk," but his theological sentiments are not strictly Anglican. In the "Letter to a Clergyman," he defends himself from what seems to be a charge of sympathy with Methodists: "I am so far from agreeing with the Methodists, (as you have rashly declared) that the peculiar Doctrines I detest and abhor; being fully sensible they are delusive and dangerous."

His argument in favour of revealed religion is that it gives poor, miserable sinners the prospect of a "higher state of perfection" than that enjoyed by Adam and Eve.

Hazard..., 1776. 8vo, 187 x 122, mms., pp. vi, vi, 192 [193 - 196 list of subscribers], contemporary sheepskin; joints cracked, binding a little rubbed, corners worn. In ODND, Richard Greaves comments, "An Independent, he wrote A Practical Discourse of God's Sovereignty: with other Material Points, Deriving Thence (1673), a work claiming to be grounded solely on scripture. According to his preface Coles had received some training in Calvinist tenets in his youth, but he was motivated to compose this 275-page treatise after discussions with some Arminians. Originally intended as a legacy for his children, the treatise was published after Coles received requests to do so from 'Antient and Sober Christians' (Coles, A4r). The third edition, issued by Nathaniel Ponder (who published John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress) and others in 1678, included commendatory epistles by Thomas Goodwin and (jointly) by John Owen and Samuel Annesley. The latter two praised Coles for his practical application of such doctrines as election, effectual calling, the atonement, and perseverance." The work was first published in Bristol in 1760, in a Welsh translation. There were otherwise 26 editions published before 1801. ESTC T104721 locates copies in BL, NLS, National Library of Wales, Bodleian, Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society; and the University of Texas.

FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [viii], 467 [468 - 472 adverts], including half-title, contemporary panelled calf; front joint slightly cracked, top and base of spine slightly chipped, lacks label. With the contemporary autograph "J. Fleming" on the recto of the front free end-paper. The "late Writer" alluded to on the title-page was, of course, Matthew Tindal, whose Christianity as Old as the Creation was first published in 1730 and was described as "The Deist's Bible." Conybeare's rebuttal is as much philosophical as theological, and he relies a great deal on the writings of John Locke, describing him as "a very extraordinary Genius...the Glory of [his] Age, and the Instructor of the present." He later became friendly with the printer and novelist Samuel Richardson, whose novels Pamela and Clarissa bear evidence of Conybeare's teachings. Three editions of this work appeared in 1732.

Fleeman, "A Preliminary Handlist of Books for which Dr. Samuel Johnson Subscribed" (1993), no. 15. Richardson himself subscribed for six sets, which Bishop Hurd magnanimously subscribed for 50.

FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. lviiii [lix - lxiv], 228, 3 folding engraved plates at end, contemporary calf, rebacked in lighter calf, red morocco label. Derham first set out his version of the argument from design in his Physico-Theology of 1713, in which he examined in minute detail the contrivances of nature.

Astro-Theology continues and develops the views put forward in the earlier book. Both books were very popular and frequently reprinted in the 18th century. In 1729, Derham published Christo-Theology, but this work did not enjoy the popularity of the first two.

Our Recovery by Jesus Christ, And the Necessity of Regeneration and Sanctification by the Holy Ghost.

Small 8vo (in 4s), pp. [ii], x, 76, stitched as issued, original wrappers; perimeters frayed, spine defective. Bowman is described on the title-page as "Vicar of Martham, Norfolk," but his theological sentiments are not strictly Anglican. In the "Letter to a Clergyman," he defends himself from what seems to be a charge of sympathy with Methodists: "I am so far from agreeing with the Methodists, (as you have rashly declared) that the peculiar Doctrines I detest and abhor; being fully sensible they are delusive and dangerous." The work was also published in London in the same year, but apparently a few weeks later. ESTC T66246 locates only two copies of this printing: the British Library and Cambridge University Library.

His argument in favour of revealed religion is that it gives poor, miserable sinners the prospect of a "higher state of perfection" than that enjoyed by Adam and Eve.

Hazard..., 1776. 8vo, 187 x 122, mms., pp. vi, vi, 192 [193 - 196 list of subscribers], contemporary sheepskin; joints cracked, binding a little rubbed, corners worn. In ODND, Richard Greaves comments, "An Independent, he wrote A Practical Discourse of God's Sovereignty: with other Material Points, Deriving Thence (1673), a work claiming to be grounded solely on scripture. According to his preface Coles had received some training in Calvinist tenets in his youth, but he was motivated to compose this 275-page treatise after discussions with some Arminians. Originally intended as a legacy for his children, the treatise was published after Coles received requests to do so from 'Antient and Sober Christians' (Coles, A4r). The third edition, issued by Nathaniel Ponder (who published John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress) and others in 1678, included commendatory epistles by Thomas Goodwin and (jointly) by John Owen and Samuel Annesley. The latter two praised Coles for his practical application of such doctrines as election, effectual calling, the atonement, and perseverance." The work was first published in Bristol in 1760, in a Welsh translation. There were otherwise 26 editions published before 1801. ESTC T104721 locates copies in BL, NLS, National Library of Wales, Bodleian, Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society; and the University of Texas.

FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [viii], 467 [468 - 472 adverts], including half-title, contemporary panelled calf; front joint slightly cracked, top and base of spine slightly chipped, lacks label. With the contemporary autograph "J. Fleming" on the recto of the front free end-paper. The "late Writer" alluded to on the title-page was, of course, Matthew Tindal, whose Christianity as Old as the Creation was first published in 1730 and was described as "The Deist's Bible." Conybeare's rebuttal is as much philosophical as theological, and he relies a great deal on the writings of John Locke, describing him as "a very extraordinary Genius...the Glory of [his] Age, and the Instructor of the present." He later became friendly with the printer and novelist Samuel Richardson, whose novels Pamela and Clarissa bear evidence of Conybeare's teachings. Three editions of this work appeared in 1732.

FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. lviiii [lix - lxiv], 228, 3 folding engraved plates at end, contemporary calf, rebacked in lighter calf, red morocco label. Derham first set out his version of the argument from design in his Physico-Theology of 1713, in which he examined in minute detail the contrivances of nature.

Astro-Theology continues and develops the views put forward in the earlier book. Both books were very popular and frequently reprinted in the 18th century. In 1729, Derham published Christo-Theology, but this work did not enjoy the popularity of the first two.
