The reasons of the Christian religion. The first part, of godliness: proving by natural evidence the being of God, the necessity of holiness, and a future life of retribution; the sinfulness of the world; the desert of Hell; and what hope of recovery mercies intimate. The second part, of Christianity: proving by evidence supernatural and natural, the certain truth of the Christian belief: and answering the objections of unbelievers. First meditated for the well-setling of his own belief; and now published for the benefit of others, by Richard Baxter. It openeth also the true resolution of the Christian faith. Also an appendix, defending the soul's immortality against the Somatists or Epicureans, and other pseudo-philosophers.
