ABSTRACT
That there is a near affinity between atheism and superstition.—That superstition doth not only prepare the way for atheism, but promotes and strengthens it.—That epicurism is but atheism under a mash— A confutation of the master-notion of Epicurus, together with some other pretences and dogmas of his sect—That true knowledge of nature is advantageous to religion.—That superstition is more tolerable than atheism.—That atheism is both ignoble and uncomfortable.— What low and unworthy notions the Epicureans had concerning man‘s happiness : and what trouble they were put to, how to define, and where to place, true happiness.—A true belief of a Deity supports the soul with a present tranquillity and future hopes.—Were it not for a Deity, the world would be unhabitable.
