This edition printed in 1691 is interesting in several respects. It shows an awareness of Eastern ideas that one would not normally associate with 17th century England. Additionally the author of this work attempts to put Confucius' ideas into a Western/Christian context. In the advertisement at the front it is stressed that though Confucius was a pagan his ideas are not inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and his desire for achieving virtue and morality is certainly consistent with the beliefs of 17th century Christian philosophers" Remnant Trust Collection.<br> <br> ESTC T213641.
