Concerning the GROUNDS and REASONS,

OR : What those principles are, on which two of our anniversary folemnities are founded:

V I z. That on the 30th of January, being the

day of the martyrdom of King Charles the First, appointed to be kept as a. day of fasting; and that on the 5th of November, being the day of our deliverance from Popery and Navery, by the happy arrival of his late Majefty King William the Third, appointed to be kept as a day of thanksgiving.

To which is added, The Sufficiency of Reason in Matters of Religion, farther confidered.

Wherein is shewn, That reason, when carefully used and followed,
