Despite the confusing and obliterated pagination it appears that the text of this book is complete though I have not ascertained whether further illustration plates were called for in this printing beyond the 4/5 including 1 double page which I have noted here. There are other occasional corrections or annotations in very old handwriting and spelling likely by the same person who attempted to renumber the pages.

Richard Bentley 1662-1742 English scholar and literary critic. He was made keeper of the Royal Libraries and was later appointed Master of Trinity College Cambridge. In 1692 he was nominated first Boyle lecturer named after scientist Robert Boyle. He then delivered a series of sermons trying to refute Thomas Hobbes and atheism. In particular the lectures tried to show how the recent work in physics by Sir Isaac Newton offered proof of Gods existence. Bentley even corresponded with Newton on the subject. Originally the sermons were printed separately - several editions of each being issued. In 1693 the tracts were first collected together under the present title with separate paginations. The so-called "fourth edition" of 1699 is advertised as "corrected" and it displays continuous pagination. ESTC R21357; Wing B1931. <br/> <br/> J.H. for H. Mortlock hardcover
