Concerned ; but it is very credible that the effect of * ' The Religion of Protestants" upon the public might open the eyes of the Oxford censurer to see that
he had not been sufficiently ic watchful , according to Archbishop Laud ' s injunction , and that all things were not going on u to the honour of the Church of England . *'
However altered , and whether for the "better or the worse , the book ** was received with general applause : two editions of it were
published within less than five months , which , as Des Maizeaux conjectures , * " never happened to any other controversial work of that bulk . "
The editions of the < Religion of Protestants , '' subsequent to the Restoration , will be taken notice of in the account of Chillingworth's Works , at the end of this memoir .

Original Letter of Dr . S . Chandler ' s . Bath { lSthSep . 1742 . Rev . and dear . Sir , Being willing to discbarge my promise made you at London , I give you the trouble of this , tho I have little more to say to you , than that I am well in this place , and have every circumstance to render it agreeable . Serious study is here an impossibility , where one is liable to be perpetually interrupted . AH my reading therefore is only by way of amusement and diversion from the sole business
Prideaux s approbation was expressed in these terms : Perlcgi hunc librum ¦ : in quo nihil reperio Doctrinae vel
Disciplinae Ecclesise Anglic an ne advertutn , scd ^ iiamplurima quae Fidcm Orthodoxam egregi ^ illustiant , et adver-• antia glossemata acut £ , pei $ picu £ ct modest ^ dissipant . *' Lift , &c . p . 920 . and note // .

of Bath , which is i impertinence and idleness . I have * just read thro Mr , Warburtoti ' s Vindication of Pope ' s Essay on Man , against Mr . De Cruzaw . Tis wrote with
spirit , and he hath justly exposed the French critick , but whether he hath justified his poet ' s sentiments , will admit of a debate . I am yet
to think he hath done by him , as some of our criticks have done by the Greek and Roman classicks , found out beauties , that the authors themselves scarce ever
thought of . I have been this day entertained with the operations of Dr . Taylor , the famous oculist , who before several of the first phisitians of the place , and a large circle of gentlemen , restored
almost instantly sight to several quite blind . He talks freely to those of the faculty , who before him say quite nothing , but seem very free of their remarks when at a distance from him ; which gives
me a suspicion of them not over favourable . I am only to add that I am very much obliged to you for your readiness to assist me during rny absence . After I left you the ; last Tuesday I
accidentally got a full supply for the last Lord ' s day in this month . So that if you are at Hamblens the Tuesday before , I shall be obliged to you , if you'll speak to Mr .
Burroughs who is to supply that day for the morning , and to Mr . Fleming who is to take care for the afternoon . My best respects and services wait on Mr . Dolinsand
Miss . And if my best wishes and prayers can be of any avail for your happiness , you may assure yourself of them from , Dear Sir ** Your affect . Friend and
Servt-SAM . CHANDLER . — To the Rev . Mr . Tomms , at Daniel D * lin ? $ f M * q * Hackney near London *
