About This Item
London: Printed for J. and P. Knapton..., 1740. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xii, 507 [508 blank], contemporary calf; lacks blank leaves before title-page, joints a little cracked (but firm), spine slightly rubbed and dried, corners slightly worn. Sykes (?1684 - 1756) belonged to the latitudinarian side of the Anglican Church and is often associated with the views of Benjamin Hoadly. Here he argues that both natural and revealed religion are strictly rational. In the last two chapters, on the nature and existence of morality prior to Christ and the existence of moral principles not derived from revelation, he more-or-less argues that a virtuous, moral life and a Christian one are identical.
