Natural Religion Insufficient, and

Revealed Necessary,
to Man's Happiness in his Present State:

OR, A

RATIONAL INQUIRY

INTO THE

PRINCIPLES

OF TAE

MODERN DEISTS;

WHEREIN

IS LARGELY DISCOVERED THEIR UTTER INSUFFICIENCY
TO ANSWER THE GREAT ENDS OF RELIGION, AND THE
WEAKNESS OF THEIR PLEADINGS FOR THE
SUFFICIENCY OF NATURE'S LIGHT

TO ETERNAL HAPPINESS;

AND PARTICTLABLY

The Writings of the late learned LORD HERBERT, the great Patron of Deism,

to wit, his Books DE VERITATE, DE RELIGIONE GENTILIUM, and RELIGIO,
Laio in so far as they assert Nature's Light able to conduct us

to future Blessedness, are considered, and fully answered.

TO WHICH IS ADDED,

AN ESSAY ON THE TRUE GROUND OF FAITH,

By the late Reverend MR. THOMAS HALYBURTON,

Professor of Divinity in the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.

A scorner seeketh wisdom and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him
that understandeth.

Prov. xiv. 6.
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of
God, or whether I speak of myself.

JOAN vij. 17.
Solis nosse Deos & coeli numina vobis,
Aut solis nescire, datum.
