Philemon to Hydaspes; relating several conversations with Hortensius, upon the subject of false religion. In four parts. Part I. In which is endeavoured to be shewn, that the best key to men's religious oeconomy is the observation of their natural temper; and that every Instance of False Conduct in the one, is to be resolved into some corresponding Peculiarity in the other: With a more peculiar Application to the Case of an extravagant Devotion. Part II. In which is asserted, The General Lawfulness of Pleasure; and the Extravagant Severities of some Religious Systems are shewn to be a direct Contradiction to the Natural Appointment and Constitution of Things. Part III. In which some General Account is endeavoured to be given of the Rise and Constitution of False Theory in Religion in the earlier Pagan World. Part IV. In which a farther general account is endeavoured to be given of the rise and constitution of false theory in religion in the earlier pagan world.
