Note 1171 — Chapter III
Reading edition
"Our late Warrs and Schisms having almost wholly discouraged men from the study of Theologie." W. Charleton, The Immortality of the Human Soul demonstrated by the Light of Nature, 1657, p. 50. (Cp. Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, 1656; ed. 1835, pp. 95-100.) Charleston, as his title and that of his previous work on Atheism show, uses no ecclesiastical arguments.
