The great duties of life. In three parts. I. With respect to the supreme being. II. With respect to the laws of morality. III. With respect to the law of Christ. Examined by the standard of right reason, and established on the most natural dictates of it, against the deists, free-thinkers, and other modern infidels. Wherein, all their objections against the existence of evil, providence, a future state, the immortality of the soul, rewards and punishments of the next life, and the divine institution of Christianity, are set in all the light they deserve; and shewn to be vain and illusory, when compared with the most just and forcible reasons, for the obligations of religion, both natural and revealed. With a preface, shewing the dismal effects of infidelity and irreligion, from the beginning of the world, down to this present generation. By S.B. Gent
