D. Hieronymi Epiftola ad Nepotianum. It is printed
in thefe Papers.
Gregorius Magnus, P. de Cura Paftorali. 'Tis prin-
ted amongst his Works. But it has been allo
printed alone feveral times. The best of thofe
Editions, that I know of, is in Octavo, Lond.

1629.
Bishop Burnet's Paftoral Care. It has been printed
three times. In the laft Edition there are
fome Additions. It may be convenient for the
Student to forbear reading the late Preface,
as being forein to his prefent Design.

Mr. Herbert's Country Parfon. Any Edition will
ferve.
Mr. Dodwell's firft Letter of Advice. That Gentle-
man published Two of them: But I propose
the reading of only the Firft. Any Edition
will ferve.

I take it for granted, that the Student is furnished with our Church's Offices of Ordination,

2. Those that contain pofitive, dogmatical and controverfial Divinity, and are recommended and referred to from p. 9. to p. 22. are

Dr. Clarke's Demonftration of the Being and Attributes of God.

his Difcourfe concerning the unchangeable Obligations of Natural Religion, and the Truth and Certainty of the Chriftian Revelation.

These Two Books are commonly called
Dr. Clarke's Boyle's Lectures. Each of them has
been three times printed. In the Third Edi-
tion they are joined together in One Volume.
There are fome Alterations made in the Third
Edition, and it has been reduced to a smaller

Bulk

Bulk and Price: But yet I fhould rather prefer the First or Second Edition.

Mr. Hoadly's Reasonableness of Conformity. ----Defence of it.

----of Episcopal Ordination, with a Reply to Dr. Calamy's Introduction.

Any Edition will ferve. The Third, in which all of them are printed together, is the cheapest.

Dr. Jenkin's Reasonableness and Certainty of the Chriftian Religion. The best Edition is in Two Volumes in Octavo, Lond. 1708.

Mr. Nelfon's Companion for the Festivals and Fafts of the Church. This Book has often received new Additions. There is little or no Alteration in feveral of the late ones. The Eighth was publish'd a few Months fince.

Bishop Pearfon on the Creed. I believe the Author never made any Additions or Alterations fince the Third Edition, which was printed in 1669. The Ninth Edition has a Table of the Texts explained, and an Alphabetical Index of the moft material Heads.

Mr. Plaifere's Appello Evangelium for the true DoEtrin of the Divine Predeftination, concorded with the Orthodox Doctrin of God's Free Grace, and Man's Free Will, in Octavo, Lond. 1652. I know of no other Edition. Bishop Wake's Commentary on the Church Catechifm. The Third Edition is improved.

Dr. Whitby's Paraphrafe with Annotations on the New Teftament, in Two Volumes. The Third Edition is the most improved.

The Two general Syftems, written by Foreiners, and pretty often quoted, are

Fr.

Fr. Turretini Inftitutio Theologia Elenchtice. This, with fome other Tracts, is printed in Four Volumes in Quarto, Lugd. Bat. 1696.

Pb. à Limborch Theologia Chriftiana. I know no Difference between the Folio Editions.

As for my own Papers, mentioned p. 19, 20, 21, 22. tis no great matter what Editions are used.

3. The Cafuiftical and Practical Writers, referred to p. 22, 23. are

Dr. Barrow's English Works. Either of the Folio Editions will ferve.

Dr. Hammond's Practical Catechifm. 'Tis in the First Volume of his Works. Tho' an Octavo Edition will ferve as well.

Mr. Kettlewell's Meafures of Obedience.

--of the Sacrament.

Thefe Two Books have received Additions. So that any Edition fince the Time of his Death, which was on April 12. 1695. contains (I prefume) all that he left.

-------of Christian Prudence in trying Times. I think it never came to a Second Edition. Bishop Sanderfon's Cafes of Confcience.

----de Obligatione Confcientia.

--de Juramenti Promifforii Obligatione.

Any Edition will ferve.

Dean Stanhope's Chriftian's Pattern, being his Tranflation of Thomas à Kempis's Book de Imitatione Chrifti. I take the later Editions to be better than the former ones.

Arch-Bishop Tillotson's Sermons published in his
Life time, either in Folio or Octavo.

The Works of the Author of the Whole Duty of
Man, either in Folio or in Octavo.

"Twill now be eafy for the Student to give a near Guefs at the Time which 'twill coft him to go through the Method prescribed in the foregoing Directions for Studying a General Syftem or Body of Di vinity.

The Books relating to the Duty of the Clergy are Preparatory; and confequently what Time is fpent in the Perufal of them, must not be reckoned.

The Third Sort, to which also he may add Mr. Nelfon's Book, are fuppofed to employ him on thofe Days, which are spent in God's more immediate Service, viz, the Lord's Days, &c. And the Method propofed p. 22, 23. is manifeftly fuch, that he needs not fear being over burden'd in the Profecution of it.

But the principal Queftion is, what Time the Perufal of the Second Sort will cost him, if he follows the Directions I have given. In order to his Satisfaction I obferve, that all the Books are to be read either quite or almost through,except Dr. Whitby's Annotations,and the Syftems of Turretin and Limborch; and I fhall fubjoin a Table, whereby 'twill appear, how much of each of thefe Three Books is to be read.

Dr. WHITBY's First Volume of
Annotations,
